Dragon*Con Recovery

Hey gang – I haven’t forgotten about the faithful readers of ONCE UPON A GEEK.  I’m just taking a few days off to recover from Dragon*Con.  I’ve just about finished sorting through and cataloging over 600 pictures for your enjoyment.

I should be up and running next Monday with Dragon*Con recaps, pictures, stories, swag, and more.

As a teaser, here are the Tweets I sent from Dragon*Con.  If you’re on Twitter, you can follow me @onceuponageek.

  • Looking at Dragon*Con schedule. I call B.S.! Saturday at 4pm @Widgett Walls reading. That’s gotta be a lie. We all know Widge can’t read!
  • Anyone who says the recession is reducing airline travel obviously didn’t have to wait in a long TSA security line like I just did.
  • Just got my picture taken with a life-size TARDIS! About to see stars of Torchwood at Dragon*Con. #doctorwho
  • My boss is trying to make me work from Dragon*Con. Meanie! And he’s following.

One thought on “Dragon*Con Recovery

  1. I used to hit Dragon Con every year for over a decade, but stopped going recently (which is odd considering I now live in Atlanta). My only complaint about the con is that over the last decade there seems to be a lesser sense of importance placed on comics and a larger one put on science fiction and pop culture in general. Plus I really feel like the event has outgrown the venue by leaps and bounds.

    Still, I have fond memories and, who knows, may hit it up again next year. Glad to see you had a good time and got some good pics.
