You do good work, my friend.

Yea, plus I checked the I_LOVE_ZUCKERPENIS thingy. None of it is mentioned. I guess it was seen from one person's quote under the DC post to remind the attendees that real firearms are not allowed, but prop guns, airsoft guns, waterguns, nerf guns, toy guns, etc are a-okay (just peace bonded to prove it's safe).

Consider there is like 40,000+ attendees, it would be very hard to enforce (with exception of nabbing young whippersnappers with grown-up drinks). Especially with alot of bars within the hotel, trolly bars, room parties and the attendees themselves (you and I) bringing the poisons.

Speaking of poisons, you better buy some OUTSIDE of atlanta. Package stores will raise up to the rip-off prices for events like this.

Other than buying a pass, does anyone know of an easy way in? Really just to the hotel bars in the Marriott, not trying to sneak into the actual Con. Security just gets stricter and stricter on even just going into the hotel

Buying a pass usually works pretty well.

Knock out a bellhop or valet and steal their uniform?

I like the knock out idea! Every year ive been able to just sneak in, drink, and just hand in the main marriott lobby. I feel like id be wasting money buying a pass. but i still want to go without the hassle of being stopped at every door. Either way i will make it there.

Go in at 6pm (6:30pm is where they start guarding the door) and wait 30mins.

I generally get pretty wild during DragonCon, but this year was a whole new level. Cheers to everyone.

I'm liking the artistic aesthetic of dopesmoker's post. There's a theme here, I just can't put my finger on it...
