*DragonCon 2007*
Tuesday. 9.4.07 9:55 pm
I had to write this for my feature class and I figured it would work for a blog entry as well. So, here's what Dragon*Con 2007 was like:

Parking. Bumper stickers with phrases like Voldemort is a Republican displayed proudly on the backs of cars. A slow trickle of strange looking people move from their cars in a busy parking lot to trio of big hotels. Nerds, herded like sheep through a corral in the basement of a Hyatt in downtown Atlanta. Superfans in colorful costumes worn proudly. Superman and Superwoman strike a pose for eager people going snapshot crazy for everyone and everything in view. The smell of cheap cologne mingles with other competing smells: stale cigarette smoke, patchouli, body odor. In some places the smell is so powerful it could knock a person over.
A conference room with bad lighting is labeled “Walk of Fame.” It’s packed full, like a can of sardines. Giddy, middle-aged women clamor to meet quasi-famous actors like Kevin Sorbo and Frank Stallone. Harry Potter fans squeal with glee after shaking the hands of actors that play secondary characters in the movie franchise. The “stars” plaster smiles over their faces and say sickly sweet things to their fans, in order to keep the line moving. The fans, all in costumes made at home by loving hands. Hordes of people dressed up as Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, comic book, cartoon, video game and anime characters. Everywhere, like a sea of trick-or-treaters.
During lunch, Batman and Green Lantern break character in order to pick at their Chick-fil-A sandwiches. Only when a curious onlooker steps up with a camera will they smoothly transition back into their favorite superhero. A Spartan sets a huge golden shield on a small food court table as he settles in to his Chinese food. The line at Dairy Queen is abuzz with foot-tapping, watch-checking Stormtroopers, helmets removed, sweaty hair plastered to foreheads. Dragon*Con, a place for anyone and everyone. Costume not required (but strongly encouraged).

It's not a con without a storm trooper.

Lol,
you are totally straddling both sides of the conflict.

I used to work at Chick fil A
I refuse to go there now because they raised the price of the grilled chicken sandwich by like two bucks.

This had little to do with your entry

I just left a long comment that got erased. Ah well.

It was was about me looking over this balcony of the gazebo-type deal I'm at and seeing a man walking by. Then a bee came and tried to eat my soul.

Yes, 'Burbs!
I enjoyed that movie, too. Quite hilarious.
Now that I'm thinking about it, I feel like watching Big. It's been a while.

Lol, that sounds like it was a lot of fun.

I know I should call; however, I'm not sure what to say when I do call. I want to get to know 'er better first to avoid .. awkwardness. I dunno. I wish I could hang out with her, one-on-one, prior to calling her and away from class so I can.. I dunno'. Get to know her first? Make sure she like sLaw and Order and doesn't own a rabbit before I commit.
