Dragon*Con 2011

Full Disclosure: I have never been to Dragon*Con, even though I've lived in/around Atlanta for just about the entirety of my life. Could it be my crowd claustrophobia, or just my unwillingness to get in the spirit costumed events that aren't Halloween-related? :) (Actually, I think I'm just too intimidated by the whole scene--looks like fun, though!).

The 25th Dragon*Con happened this past weekend and the lovely, talented, amazing woman who made my wedding dress also made Dragon*Con a little bit more exciting by going as Chairry:




Found the picture on Flickr (how cool is the internet when a quick search gets you exactly what you want?).

What a brave lady. I can't imagine how many folks sat on her costume. I don't know if/when official photos will be added to the Dragon*Con Galleries, but it makes for some great viewing for sure and it's a great place to get Halloween costume inspiration if you're into nerd media... which, I am.

Want more on the Atlanta Con scene? May I recommend that you check out CNN's Geek Out blog? You can find cool stuff like this:

• Dragon*Con Fandom
• Where My Goths At? (not Con-related, just fun for me)
• So You Want To Be A Zombie

Again with the full disclosure: though I also have a work relationship with Turner my endorsement of the GeekOut blog (as with any opinion I post to CreepyCupcakes) is fully my own. Several of my friends are posting articles on it and it is, therefore, badass.
