Dragon Con?

[kristen999]

Is anyone going on my f-list going to Dragon Con this year? coolbreeze1 and I are attending together. I admit Chicago Con was so, so tempting, but the both of us wanted to do to something a bit different and with more bang for the buck.

When I lived in Atlanta I used to go when I was in my 20's, but it's so much bigger now.

"The Guest List Has a nice variety of TV/Movie folk, authors and illustrators."

Some of which includes:


Jim Beaver, Misha Collins, Colin Ferguson, Joe Flanigan, Lance Henriksen, Christopher Heyerdahl, Michael Madsen, Mary McDonnell, Robert Duncan McNeill, Kate Mulgrew, Leonard Nimoy, David Nykl, Michael Rosenbaum, William Shatner, Mark A. Sheppard, Brent Spiner, Amanda Tapping, Wil Wheaton

And over 230 more :D

Of course. It won't be until Labor Day, but I'm getting excited.

In theory, I'm going. ;-) I say that because I was supposed to go last year, and had to cancel at the last minute. But I'm really hoping to go this time! *fingers crossed*

[kristen999.livejournal.com]

Oh, cool!! I hope you're able to attend!!

BTW, I keep meaning to say that your icon has always been one of my favorites through the years.

Happy sigh.

We should try to meet up if I do make it! ;-)

The funny thing about this icon is I snagged it years and years ago at a Flanigan website, long before I ever knew what LJ was and what icons were. I was so disappointed when it turned out to be this tiny little thing! Fast forward years later when I join LJ: suddenly I knew what the tiny pictures were for and I remembered I still had this icon!

Even funnier was the fact I used it for several year on LJ before I realized how appropriate it was for my life! ;-)

Great guests, but I understand Dragon Con is a real crush and you spend hours and hours in line. On the other hand, I've always wanted to go because so many fabulous authors go. I imagine Jim Butcher will be there, and Rob Thurman. Of course, Ben Browder and Kavan Smith will be in Chicago, so you can tell why I'm going to be there and not at Dragon Con!

That's been my experience at Chicago Con every year. :-P

I do love Dragon Con because there is so much do at any given time during the day. I just want to go to something larger than life and with so many cool people to watch and things to do at night. I hate I'm missing such a great line-up in Chicago and meeting up with people like you, but not the high priced ticket for the con.

Dragon Con sounds cool - so much to see and enjoy. I like that it has guest from such a variety of backgrounds. I am thinking I might even check it out myself one of these years. I hope you have a great trip.

I used to go without a ticket when I lived there just to people watch. Fascinating and fun!

[parisindy.livejournal.com]

well i bought my ticket for dragoncon...but sadly thats as far as i got :(

i went two years ago and got to meet joe and died when i heard he was coming again.. and misha to.. but sadly i just can't afford the airfair :( , that and my mom is on a waiting list for some operations, and i need to be around after june in case she gets called

so unless a miracle happens all i can do is send my good karma from the sidelines :(

[kristen999.livejournal.com]

Oh, no. I'm sending good vibes regarding your mother. I hope good things will happen for her.

How bad was the autograph line for Joe out of curiosity.

[parisindy.livejournal.com]

thanks babes ((hugs))

the line was longer for joe then any of the other stargate people but it went fast i wasn't bothered by it at all :) .... my name is Jo so there was a bit of a laugh about my name.. between Joe and Paul when it was my turn for a signature.

man i can't say how lovely he was... i got a photo op done with him as well. He was so lovely..*floats off*

I have to say I am very tempted, even though I'm going to the Chicago con the week before (which will probably be my last Creation con). I went to Phoenix Comic Con (about 20,000 people) by myself, survived and had a good time - I can imagine it being even better with a couple friends - there was just so much going on.

I lived in Atlanta about a decade ago - I'm sure the area has really changed (I lived in Midtown near Ga. Tech and it was extremely sketchy).

I might know of a fellow fan who is also thinking of going. I'll e-mail you if I hear anything else. It would be cool to meet up in a smaller group if you went!

I'm thinking about going. I'll be in the US just before it and might arrive a day or two late.

[kristen999.livejournal.com]

Really? Are you comimg back over in Sept?

I wish I could attend, however, I have not the $$ to do so this year. I am working on getting myself out of the red first with starting this new massage practice. :-p
