DragonCon is in Atlanta this weekend,! A fellow NS member and I went downtown yesterday to indulge our nerdiness. Here's some pics from our day.

Here is urbanjib and I posing with R2D2, the guy in the back behind me is the one who created him and had the remote control.

There was a huge SteamPunk presence there. This is the girl we met outside the Hilton, she hand-made everything she's wearing.

There was a giant parade in the morning before the events started, and the majority of people were Storm Troopers.

DragonCon literally is the best event i have ever been too... better that world superpipe championships in PCMR.

It was nuts, and next year me and inkshrink are getting the whole weekend passes, and blowing all our money on products, and other shiit...and a hotel room, so we can party the night away.

Thats how AMAZING it was.

We were going to go to BlizzCon but things came up. DragonCon is only in Atlanta I think, and it comes every Labor Day weekend. It really a giant nerd festival, with all sorts of events, tournaments, fights, demos, games, movies, bands, and partying. It's ridiculous.

Atlanta really isn't that bad a place. DragonCon is definitely worth looking into.

A lot of people haven't even heard of Steampunk. I think it's really cool. I'm ordering a custom order steampunk style keyboard for christmas.
