It's that time of year again. At the end of the month (specifically from August 28th to September 2nd) the mad angel and I will be back in Atlanta for DragonCon. 429 confirmed guests and bands are confirmed for this year. The three main hotels have been booked up for months now and a 4th overflow hotel has been added. Expectations are they will beat the official 35,000 (unofficially ~45,000) attendees record from 2007.
We hope to be able to take a bit more leisurely approach this year, having learned our way around last year, and try to spend more time at things we didn't get to last year. Specifically more time in the dealers rooms and some other panels. Still not sure about going to the parade yet. However, as Eternal Members this year we will be able to attend the Eternals Pre-Convention Party on Thursday night with the convention guests, so were curious to see what that's like.
The official schedule isn't due out until next week but we definitely have two bands to see this year (Abney Park, Cruxshadows) and the mad angel definitely has a few authors to meet.
For the curious: the Short List of guest this year is on the main DragonCon page here, the MUCH longer detailed list is here
This year a friend from the office and his girlfriend will be attending DC as well. We're also going to look to meet up with another couple whom mad angel knows from SecondLife that we just discovered are DC regulars. Events like DC are the sort of thing that are generally more fun when you can attend with other friends of a similar likes and disposition.
Expect more photos to be posted upon our return.
