It's hard to believe that I've been coming to the Con since 2010. A lot in my life has changed since that first trip to Atlanta...but one thing that hasn't changed is the fact that the Con is a great big party. It's filled with people of all kinds and all passions: if you have … Continue reading DragonCon 2018
2017 marked my eighth year as an attendee at Atlanta’s DragonCon. For the uninitiated, DragonCon is one of the biggest pop-culture conventions of the year. Most people have heard of Comic-Con, and this is kind of like that -- but it covers so much more. It started as a celebration of fantasy culture (hence the … Continue reading DragonCon 2017

In fact, 2016 marks the seventh year that I've found my way to The Athens of the South.

I had planned to write more but the excitement of D*C interfered...I'll try to keep this from being rambly. The parade on Saturday … Continue reading Wrapping up the Con
It's just after midnight here on the east coast. I've returned to our hotel room and am relaxing as my pictures upload to Flickr and am trying to process my day. Really...really trying to process it. Oh my goodness. My day started later than usual (thank you, 5:45 shift!) so I was able to get … Continue reading Enter the Dragon*Con
We all piled into Brad's van and left town by 10:00 PM on Wednesday. It was a record, us all getting organized and mobile so quickly. We made a short stop at Quiktrip for last-minute rations and headed out. The road to Atlanta was probably filled with good times...due to my Dramamine, I passed out … Continue reading Arriving at Dragon*Con
