We made it through another Dragon*Con and it was a blast. And it was too crowded. And it was overwhelming. And it was awesome. Talk to anyone who goes and they’ll probably agree. My summation will take the form of a montage. Be aware that below the fold lurks dozens of pictures. If you want …

I finally got around to tagging and uploading Dragon*Con images from last year. Flickr has the collection. Enjoy.
Dragon Con 2012!
Soon. So soon. Dragon*Con is approaching. Once again I’m gathering the troops. Once again Adam Baldwin is coming, but will he actually arrive, and not cancel at the last minute? Will I survive another four days of 4 AM to 8 AM sleep schedule? We shall see.
Conference/Convention Panels: How to not be an Annoying Audience Member
I’ve attended many conferences and society meetings and luncheons with speakers and seven (eight?) Dragon*Cons to date. I’ve sat in the audience for panels from such diverse topics as Wastewater Management to The Physics of the Buffyverse. These panels invariably have one thing in common, no matter the difference in the subject matter: Annoying Audience …

Dragon*Con 2010
I am returned from another year of Dragon*Con. As I posted to my twitter stream, I believe I left everything on the field. The last several years of Dragon*Con have been all about the night life for me, which means that sleep becomes seriously sacrificed. My normal sleep schedule is 4 AM to 8 AM …
Dragon*Con 2009 is Over
Dragon*Con was a blast, as always. Here’s some images. I’ll blog more later. I’m tired at the moment. Eleven hours of sleep over three days is tough.
Dragon*Con 2008 Recap
It has become a tradition: I am entirely unable to post about Dragon*Con until at least a week afterward. For various reasons, after going home on Monday and sleeping, I remain entirely burned out with respect to the Con for at least a week. Hell, last year I never managed to post my recaps at …
Chris/Kristin Won the Costume Contest!
All right. I lied a bit about not blogging. Kristin and Chris brought a costume to Dragon*Con. Kristin made it, Chris wore it. They won the Audience Favorite award at the Masquerade last night! It was awesome. The only picture I can find at the moment is here. I’m sure there will be more soon.
Dragon*Con 2008 (immediate) Recap
We’re home. We’re alive. We’re tired. As usual, Dragon*Con was a blast, both seeing cool famous people (Battlestar Galactica stars, Firefly Stars, Famous Authors, Not-so-famous Authors, etc.) and hanging out with people we know and like. Even as I type, the ~500 images I took are downloading to my computer, so you can expect some …
