It’s been a week and a half since DragonCon 2014, and I admit that I’ve been so busy since then that I’ve hardly had time to fall into Post Con Depression. To help keep it at bay a little longer, I thought I’d get the highlights of my weekend written down before it all becomes …

Two years ago, I wrote about attending my first Star Wars Celebration, a con dedicated to my favorite galaxy. When Celebration VI was announced, I knew I had to go. Once again, it was held in the Orange County Convention Center, and once again, I had a fantastic time. It was a lot of the …

On Any Sunday

I attended my first 501st Legion, Georgia Garrison event this past Sunday. I was there as a member of the Republic Service Organization, a costuming group based on the WWII-era USO.

DragonCon 2010: Down the Rabbit Hole

on September 29, 2010January 8, 2021Leave a Comment on DragonCon 2010: Down the Rabbit Hole

DragonCon this year was, as usual, a great time. In fact, I’ll go so far as to say it was my best DragonCon yet. We attended less panels, giving us a lot more time for just sitting around to watch the (weird) world go by. We had a huge crowd this year, ranging from the …
