By an odd coincidence, I was heading to the Atlanta Marriott Marquis, one of the Dragon Con hotels, right when the proof arrived at the publisher, so they sent it to the hotel, hoping that I could review it over the weekend.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.dresan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/wpid-20130726_094637.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"20130726_094637.jpg\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" alt=\"image\" src=\"http:\/\/www.dresan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/wpid-20130726_094637.jpg\" width=\"600\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I got off the red eye, scouted locations for LIQUID FIRE, HEX CODE and another Edgeworld project, then checked in to the hotel.
