God Help Me - DragonCON 2010 is here

Postby phasmoid » Fri Sep 03, 2010 7:43 pm

I was hoping for more scantily clad nerd-chicks walking around, but alas its the same old fare of overweight stormtroopers and grown folks pretending to be vampires. I cede the floor to the master of nerd baiting:

How hilarious is it that you can dress-up in a plastic costume, dye your hair purple and wield a lightsaber.......yet still be called a man because of your largely useless penis.

I wonder where they found all the clones to stand in that line ?

Oh, I had fun at the parade! My friend is in the Marching Abominables so I was with them, they just gave me some kind of wooden percussion instrument with ridges on it that you rubbed with a stick. Which is perhaps a metaphor for my largely useless penis, or something. I wish DragonCon wasn't so blasted expensive or I would have totally gone.

Nonsense, I'm sure your penis has a lot of uses.

i was fortunately out of town this year. i did manage to see the 5 block line of queers on thursday night before i flew out.

i also saw several blist celebs in the airport when i got back to atlanta sunday evening. i attribute this to dragonconn ending.

one of these years i will go and submit field reports during the festivities. but i will need to have become gay and fat first. until that day.

Theres a simmilar event every spring in Seattle, called Sakura Con, thats primarially anime oriented, but it has a lot of nerd crossover.

I go there every couple years, primarially to network with other photographers. You would be surprised how interesting a convention like that can be. Especially with a head full of acid.
