Well more news from Dragoncon. They are relegating all the Star Trek programming to the Sheraton hotel. Not real happy about that but the line up is killer so I guess I'll have to wear real comfy shoes.
Kate Mulgrew, Avery Brooks, Michael Dorn, Cirroc Lofton, Walter Koenig, Robert Picardo, George Takei and more.

The Cruxshadows are there every year so maybe next time. I can't remember a year that they have not attended.

I'll take some pics and post them on here after the con.

[shinkai]

*shakes penny jar*... anything's possible

Pics would rock!

Wish I could go, but lack of funds is stopping me.

[RogueEntity]

I think I will go, I could drag a few of my Stateside friends down there too and have a blast.

I went to Dragon*Con for the first time last year. What an experiance Comic, anime, and sci-fi characters wondering all over downtown Atlanta.

I was rather disappointed with the comic track as the comic creators were sort of stuck in a sub-basement in the middle to a dealer room. Also, I went with someone in a wheelchair and those hills between the hotels were very hard to deal with, esspecially when we wanted to go to events that were back-to-back (timewise) but located in the each of the two end hotels. (The con was in three hotels on the same street that was on a steep incline.)

Yea I know what you mean. Now it is spread over four hotels. Not even remotely handicap friendly. Hope some of the TU people can come and hang out it would be great to meet some of the crew.

[shinkai]

If I win the lottery, I'll see you there!
