Hey all!

Any fellow haunters heading to DragonCon this year? We went for the first time last year and knew we had to head back! It was awesome!

In their own words DragonCon is described as:
Its essentially a four day costume party with celebrities, seminars, art shows and concerts galore. And unlike many haunt cons everything (with very very few exceptions) is included for the admission price. They even have a costume parade through downtown Atlanta!

Here's a gallery of my pics from last year's DCon:

costumes i recognized off the top of my head: pheonix/jean grey, white queen, banshee, capt. america, mystique and wolverine. maybe i should back off the comic books.

so its a free for all costume party without character restrictions? what a strange and wonderful con! and a parade to boot, thats awsome! i'll have to consider attending this convention sometime...

pics are great capt.

I loved the headless woman and the ghost costume dedinitly woke me up.
but Hotlanta in august mmmm let me think nope not me.

i want to go, and one thing holding me back is a lack of a sooper cool costume, and person to drive there with.
no matter how badly i want to go, slightlymad has a point, southern states in summer tends to be a bad idea.
and my plan for a sooper cool costume would leave me unconcious on a hot day.
heat exaustion is no fun.

oh the choices, how terrible i am with decisions...*slaps self*...get it together!

geez dogman- don't let lack of a cool costume hold you back. I put off going for many, many years and I should have just done it. Trust me that for every person with a costume there are 50 non-costumed people standing around them taking pictures!

And as for the heat... heh heh... well, when one lives in sunny Florida where the days and nights are 95% humidity and 95 degrees throughout the summer Atlanta feels downright *chilly* around Labor Day! Seriously!

its not so much cool costume thats holding me back, i could throw something together in a day or two from old costumes and look awsome, its that im busting butt on a cool one and going to dragoncon encourages me to finish it by my wishful deadline, the end of august.

whats holding me back is getting there from darn near the tip of lower michigan, the ohio border is a 4-5 hour drive in itself. that and i don't want to travel that distance alone and finding some one to go with isn't easy when no one checks their email.

jeez louise my imaginary friends are more responsive than my real friends. thats just wrong.
