Well, it’s back again to Dragon*Con, my home away from home in the magical city of Atlanta.<\/p>\n

\"dragoncon-2012-02.png\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Like Comic-Con, the show at Dragon*Con begins even before you get inside.<\/p>\n

\"dragoncon-2012-03.png\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Unlike Comic-Con, however, the architecture of Dragon*Con is not awesomely mega, but mega awesome.<\/p>\n

\"dragoncon-2012-04.png\"<\/a><\/p>\n

From the floor to the ceiling, the hotels of Dragon*Con, especially the Marriott, are awe-inspiring.<\/p>\n

\"dragoncon-2012-05.png\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It’s simply hard to take them in all at once.<\/p>\n

In the midafternoon, things are just getting started…<\/p>\n

\"dragoncon-2012-07.png\"<\/a><\/p>\n

… but don’t worry, things will fill up soon enough.<\/p>\n

I’ll be at the Bell Bridge Books author spotlight on Sunday, hawking STRANDED, the anthology of which I have not yet seen a copy, but whose cover looks like this.<\/p>\n

\"Stranded<\/a><\/p>\n

What’s even more awesome is the con officially hasn’t started yet … and the costumes are amazing.<\/p>\n

\"dragoncon-2012-09.png\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Amazing.<\/p>\n

\"dragoncon-2012-10.png\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Amazing!<\/p>\n

\"dragoncon-2012-11.png\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I mean, AMAZING.<\/p>\n

\"dragoncon-2012-12.png\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A-MAZ-ING!<\/p>\n

\"dragoncon-2012-13.png\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Seriously … you know.<\/p>\n

\"dragoncon-2012-14.png\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So, on this first night of Dragon*Con, I’ve had a great meal…<\/p>\n

\"dragoncon-2012-15.png\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Powered up with caffeine…<\/p>\n

And filled out this, my traditional first post of Dragon*Con!<\/p>\n
