Took the family to DragonCon today for the first time. They say there are over 70k people registered. I would believe it. Place was packed, but we all had a great time. About the best people watching in the world. Everyone was cool too. Just lots of folks having fun and letting their freak flag fly. The kids had fun too. Left at about 915. Looked like the party was really about to get rolling.

I should probably go sometime. That’s not a bad trip for me at all.

Worth it if you have an interest in that kind of thing. The people watching was the best, by far, but sat in a panel with Kari and Tory from Mythbusters and they were great fun. Lots of good stories. Also sat in one with one of the guys who built the chess set for Force Awakens and how he got to fulfil a lifelong dream of working on a Star Wars movie. Cool.

I’m not really into that but I have friends that are and it could be a great weekend trip.

Oh, man—glad this was 1:58. For a second I had a flashback to the dark days when Peachtree Center’s food court wasn’t open on Sunday or Monday!

That sounds awful. I imagine people resorting to cannibalism.

Not saying it did, and not saying it didn’t . . . but there are some fandoms you just don’t see around anymore.
