DragonCon, anyone?

Post by Kizyr »

Fresh off the heels of Otakon, now I'll be going to DragonCon in Atlanta.

I'll be going with my sister, so we'll probably be hanging out together most of the time. But, if anyone here is going (like Sonic#?) we might be able to meet up a few times there.

How about it? Anyone? KF

WRONG CON!! Come to GenCon, where the pleasant odor of nerds (who only leave their basement once a year for this very occasion- myself included?), will surely last a lifetime in your memories!!
:D
It is this weekend in Indiana. And Indiana is waaaaaaaay cooler than Atlanta.
I found my old siggie! MUAH HAHAHAHAHA!!!

I'm only on for a minute (using connection at Panera and girlfriend is being patient with me using her internet connection), but we'll both be there for most of the weekend, since we're in town. I guess we can make plans when I have more time/when the time is closer.

Anyone else?

I was at Gencon last year! It was really neat, but I couldn't make it out there this year. A couple of comedians that I've met performed a show there this year. I wish I coulda been there.

Ok so, DragonCon is this upcoming weekend. I really don't know what the schedule is like yet, but how 'bout we just pick one of the days to meet up? I'll be flying in Thursday evening, and leaving on Monday afternoon/evening. So, Friday, Saturday, or Sunday works for me.

I'll also be there with my sister, so part of it depends on what she'll want to do. But once we settle on a day, we can figure out a schedule and time that's most convenient for everyone (at conventions, early/mid afternoon tends to work the best). KF

I'll just say Friday out of the blue, but Friday and Sunday both work best for me. And I should be there before the afternoon on both days. (For me Saturday tends to be my track-heaviest day, so I'd most likely be busy.)

Ok, due to my sister's work and flight issues, I don't think I could make it Friday afternoon. So, it'll have to be Saturday.

Since it's late in the week, Sonic# and Sadrin, I'll PM both of you my phone number. Feel free to PM me yours in return. I'll try to figure out something on Thursday/Friday.

For now, let's tentatively plan, like, a late lunch on Saturday @ 3PM? (I really recommend this time, since restaurants in any convention area tend to be madly packed if you try to hit them at usual lunchtime.) We can figure out anything to do thereafter at that time. KF

So we had a get-together at Dragon*con! It ended up just being Kizyr, his sister, my fiancee, and I. It was pretty fun; I haven't met many of the people I know from the internet at all, so it was a little surreal but fun.

Just in case anyone was wondering... sorry we missed you, Sadrin!

It was fun. I took a bit of video, but since it wasn't just me and Sonic#, I'd rather not post it.

Meetup was fun, though. Sorry about the little wild goose chase for an uncrowded restaurant. But hey, we still got together in the end! And, none of us missed our 4:00 panels. KF
