Dragon*Con

[Ryan]

i've seen some conflicting stuff saying they'll only be enforcing it in the evening but i don't know how they'll even begin to attempt something like that

[Brian]

A certain WREKage host is a Dcon director and said it starts at 6:30. Last year they just had big ass dudes at the entrance of each hotel blocking it off. There are other ways in. Or just wait for a donut break.

[Diana]

Weren't you with us last year when we had to sneak my wife through the blockade? I thought you had helped me with the slight of hand (making the dude think we had 3 badges instead of 2). I had thought it was you, but then, I was very drunk and slightly distracted by the girl in the latex speed racer costume at the time so who knows...

Oh yeah, that was me. I forgot about that! Weren't we also sneaking in badcarburetor and her husband at the same time? He got nailed right after that when we went to refill the beers. We should have quit while we were ahead.

[badcarburetor]

That's correct from my memory. He's just too damn sweet and innocent, that man. He always gets busted on shit I can slip right through.


This year we are legal and I even swung getting paid to go as "professional development." I am a God.

You were all "whatever nerd, I belong here" and marched right past. That's the secret - you can't look sweet and guilty. Poor dude.

You are totally some kind of god for pulling this off. I can't believe it.

I also can't believe I still have to work for THREE MORE HOURS. GAAAAAAAHHHHH

last night 's 9 hours of was more than i had total since last weds

alot people saying this years sucked, underwhelming yes, suck no, it was so crowded at times i can't say i missed the non-badge folks ,

[Strange]

I am completely zombified. It's not like a hangover so much as a full on detox. I started drinking Thursday afternoon and stopped at about 2 this morning. Hell, I think I drank more at the booth than I did during my drunken wanderings.

Awesome hanging with you fine folks as always! Diana - Thanks mucho for the beers. Let me know when the trolling stuff is posted!

HAIL - HAIL - HAIL AND KILL!

[Diana]

I am completely zombified.

Yep. I've been drinking tea and shivering since Tuesday morning. And discovering new bruises -- at last count I have seven. And no idea how I got any of them.

Hey Stew - what's the parental rating on this Damage Assessment? Because this notebook is full of swears. At least the parts I can read.

[Brian]

This was my first year with an actual pass. Definitely picking one up for next year and gonna get a room, too. Still in pain.

I kept staring at some girl at the Metalocalypse panel thinking it was you, Diana. It wasn't.

HA! I didn't even know there was a Metalocalypse panel. Damn. Can you astral project from drunkenness?

If you want a hotel room next year, act quickly. Here's the Hilton info we sent over to my brother so he can get his own damn room next year and we won't have to step on his face in the dark:

Call the Hilton's 1-800 number:

1-800-445-8667

You're looking to book at this Hilton:

255 Courtland Street NE, Atlanta, Georgia, 30303

on these dates:

Fri 8/31/12 thru Mon 9/3/12
Total of 3 nights

When you call, they'll say no rooms are available, until you say you're with Dragon*Con and want their discounted group rate. The code is DCN, though I didn't have to use it.

Have a credit card ready, because you'll have to pay a deposit of one night. It came to about $270.

The total for the stay, including taxes, will be $835. You pay that $270 deposit now, and they run your card for the rest when you check out.

Don't delay too long, the hotel will fill up soon.

We booked our room last night. Some hotels don't let you book this early, and some do. The Hilton does.

WOOT!!!
