Dragon*Con 2011

Anyone heading down to Atlanta this year for Dragon*Con?   This will be my second year, and I'm thinking about making this my standard annual con and saving up for an "eternal membership".  I ran into some people from the Anomaly community simply by chance at last year's D*C, which was pretty awesome.  Anyone planing to go?  Thinking about it?

Also, I'm planning to do a Skypecast post-con for Anomaly Supplemental.  Anyone's welcome to join in to talk D*C, just shoot me a PM, and I'll add you to the planning list.  :)

So it's only the two of us from this community that go to Dragon*Con?

Maybe.  Many of us here tend to go to cons fairly near us - geographically.  Cheaper and easier that way.  But I would like to get down to D-Con someday.

I greatly enjoy my local cons as well.  I save up all year so I can afford the trip down to Atlanta from the Boston area. 

I spent a couple of years seriously considering going but wasn't sure because of the added costs of travel and not knowing anyone but once I went I realized I was home and the community was wonderful.  Nothing like the energy of being around 40,000+ of your closet friends and talking genre shows, movies and books for four full days from 10am until well past midnight.  :)

I guess we are, Kevin.

Perhaps I'm odd, but I've never really thought about going to local cons (other than Star Trek Creation cons back in the day).  But D*C and WorldCon stayed on my radar.  I'm going to NYCC for the first time this year.  I never made it to Arisia when I lived in Boston (oops), nor have I made it to Philcon or Lunacon.
