Anyone going to Dragon*Con in Atlanta this year? (www.dragoncon.org)
In 2010, Tenebrae and I went, and we met up with Viktre and Thirtyeight. We had a grand time :)
We will be easy to spot - We will be the two Witch Hunters with "Stoat" and "Tenebrae" on our nametags (I just had my sword scabbard dyed black... so now I'm ready to go) heh heh... If you are in/near Atlanta and on a budget, the parade down Peachtree Street on Saturday morning is free and a lot of fun.
Tenebrae and I have been going through the 1300+ seminars that are scheduled to pick which ones we wanted to go to. We then charted them out based on walking distance between the 5 host hotels, to come up with a strategy to help us narrow it down. The only thing missing from our proposed schedule is that we only ended up with two time periods to eat in four days… Something going to have to give… heh heh… Surprisingly, there aren’t any Guild Wars 2 lectures (there was one when we went in 2010). We still have a few slots where we haven’t nailed it down yet, but we are close. Anyway, here is what we are planning to go to: Friday: Pyr Rising All the Latest News on the Hobbit (or… The Guild – Q&A) The Dieselpunk Debate Belief Systems in Science Fiction 101 Beyond Hunger Games – Dystopias in YA The Metaphysics of H.P. Lovecraft Late Night Open Mic – A Night at the Green Dragon Saturday: DragonCon Parade NY Times Bestsellers Tell All A Wizard, a Dwarf, a Hobbit and an Elf, Oh My! Intrigue 101 – Scheming, Deceiving & Being a Total Sneaky Weasel in 1 EZ Lesson Click, Boom, Bang: Weapons of the Apocalypse The Unofficial Scoop on the Hobbit YA and Middle Grade Fiction (or… Leather Mask Making) Alternate Apocalypse: How Many Ways can the World End? (or… The Higgs Boson & the Mystery of Dark Matter) The Kevin Grazier and Phil Plait Show An Evening at the Winespring Inn Sunday: Cyberwar and the Future of Cyber Conflict Book Club – Ender’s Game Introducing The Silmarillon Lord of the Rings – Celebrity Guests Fission vs Fusion – A knock-down Drag-out Brawl Editors and Agents Tell All Space Geeks Yule Ball Monday: Power up! Alternative Energies in an Alt. History World The Perfect Blend: Genre Mixing in Urban Fantasy (or… Star Trek Mash Bash) How do you take your Steampunk – Light or Dark? Then… Drive back to Jackson (7 hours +/-)
