It's been a long time.

So, this Sept is 9 years I've not attended.

I miss it, and I have dreams about it.  With that said, I'm not sorry I left behind price spiking and silliness.  The fun went out of it for me when, all of a sudden, Cosplay was the vogue.  It used to be cool to come out of the closet once a year and do my stuff, initially nervous as hell or not.

I know there was a small comeback when it re-opened.  I miss the hotels and the art exhibit, the drum circle etc.  I don't miss not being able to move.

So, I suppose I'm asking, how is it now? 

Ask DCTV!

It's Ask DCTV time!
In addition to our live streaming and event coverage, Dragon Con TV (http://www.dragoncontv.org/) creates comedy videos to show between events and in your hotel room. One of the things we do is the text comedy we call bumpers. We're in the process of creating a new set of bumpers for 2019, and one of our annual traditions is to ask you to ask us questions, which we may answer in a bumper!
To ask DCTV, reply to this with your question. End your question with the name or alias you'd like me to use in the bumper. If you don't, I'll use your LJ name instead.
An example question:
"Why does everyone where those 'Utili-'skirts? --ActualScottishAttendee"
You can ask more than one question, though I'll only use one of them at most. Your chances of us using your question go up if it's not something we've been asked before. To see what previous people have asked DCTV, look through our previous bumpers at https://www.youtube.com/playlist?l…
Happy asking!

Annual poll to see where everyone is coming from

Once again my favorite posting of the year in here: taking the annual poll to see where everyone is coming in from... NOTE: As usual for the sake of the poll, Metro Atlanta is defined as anywhere within 50 miles of the downtown core. I know its reached out way past that, but it still makes a nice round number. Maybe I'll change it when it hits 100 miles. ;)


Poll #2084521 Where dost thou travel from?
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All. Participants: 10

Where are you coming in from for DragonCon?
