Dragon*Con 2008 will be held Labor Day weekend (August 29 - September 1, 2008) in Atlanta, GA.

HELLO! Ok, I have been putting this off because I wasn't sure if I would get the time off. I will! So YAY!

Currently, tickets for Dragon Con are 75 dollars for the entire weekend for one person. This includes all events plus food, drinks and snacks at the Con Suite. I will double check, but I believe it includes baby sitting services as well during dealer room hours. ALL DETAILS FOUND HERE.

ALL THE HOST HOTELS ARE BOOKED! There are overflow hotels located here. If you want a native's insight on where to go, just PM me and I will find out. Also, my husband and I will be getting a room for Friday and Saturday night downtown and are willing to go in with two other people.

Also, if people want to come in a day early (Thursday night) and need crash space, I have two couches and a floor. I'll even be willing to make breakfast. If a large group of people fly in and need to be picked up, I can help work out transportation.

COSTUMES ARE HIGHLY ENCOURAGED! I have a friend that sells them, and I MIGHT be able to talk her into a friend's discount for boardies. My friends and I have been working and going to this Con for years, so if you have any questions, I can probably find the answer!

Current Guest List. There are some big names this year, including Laurel K Hamilton (for those who don't despise her).

I'll be going this year. Last year I went down with quite a few friends, and this year it looks like even more are coming around for the fun.
(I think we ended up booking 5 rooms.)

I'm still not sure about my costume(s), but I have a good month or so before I really need to be worried about it. (That being said, I'll probably wait until the beginning of August.)

Just looked at the website, and holy crap! It's huge! The entire cast of Battlestar Galactica appears to be going, for a start.

I have a feeling that some online friends from waaaaaaaay back when I first ventured onto the net will very likely be at this thing. I've lost touch with them, since I don't frequent IRC chat rooms anymore. I did get a Christmas card from them, but I don't know where I put it.

He was always into stuff like this and always tried to get me to come along. Smile
