Here’s an index of all the news, information, interviews, and articles we published for Dragon*Con 2012!

And the winners are…

The 2012 contest was awesome! A big “thank you” to all of our contestants! We had around 350 people in attendance at the presentation and all of the winners were very well received by the audience. Winners will receive their certificate in the mail. They will be mailed out before the end of September, after the Dragon*Con office has a chance to get back to normal operations.

Congratulations to all the winners!

Undead or alive, English or American, in Buffy or in Angel, Juliet Landau and James Marsters ooze chemistry and charm. On Sunday 2:30PM, the talented duo offered humor, wisdom, and a dash of vampy creepiness to the packed Westin Peachtree Ballroom.

Many panels start with a five-minute “WOO!” from the crowd, but only for Archer is that “WOO!” canonically required. The eponymous spy of this animated TV show has a habit of celebrating with that line, whether he’s playing lacrosse with Malaysian pirates or shooting sharks in the face.

Every night, after a fun and exhausting day at the con, I slip …

Colin Ferguson, Jamie Paglia, Niall Matter, Tembi Locke, and Debra Farentino took the stage Sunday for the “Eureka: What Would Carter Do?” panel in the Hyatt’s Centennial II-III ballrooms.  There was much joking and bantering between the panelists and it was evident to everyone watching that these are people are used to spending large amounts of time around each other and know each other quite well. 

Among the various questions asked were the usual ones about the panelists’ favorite episodes and …

The Brit Track hosted a fan-run panel on the ever popular BAFTA and Emmy award winning Top Gear Sunday at 11:30AM in the Macon room of the Sheraton.  The panel started off with a discussion of the latest series, or season as we phrase it in the States, which is number 18 for the Top Gear crew.  Emphasis is being placed on striking a balance between doing the filming of the more serious, in-depth looks at the vehicles and the …
