One of this reporter’s favorite Dragon Con moments is the feeling that I am coming home, even though I live outside the US. This homecoming begins in the departure lounge at the airport as I scope out my fellow passengers. Which ones are Dragon Con bound? I check for T-shirts or backpacks decorated with comic heroes, spacefaring adventurers, or rotting… Read more →
Staying at the Hyatt for Dragon*Con has many advantages: The special edition room key DCTV in the room The balconies Close proximity to the Consuite The first three advantages are also available at the Marriott, but I’ve never personally stayed there (though I must admit their lobby is incredibly impressive) so I can’t speak from experience.

Sunday afternoon, Alice Cooper spent an hour answering questions to an exuberant and awestruck crowd at the Westin. The topics were as diverse as the man himself: performing, writing, marriage, religion, and the many other artists he has had the pleasure and honor of working with during his career.

As an added bonus, Brad Bell and Sean Hemeon, the… Read more →

About an hour ago, I passed the 24-hour mark at Dragon*Con. No, I haven’t been awake for all of them; sleep is my friend. But something happens to my brain when I’m bathing in the pool of Dragon*Con euphoria and this change tends to happen somewhere around the 24- hour mark. I call the phenomenon the comfort slide, or TCS,… Read more →
After a jam-packed-busy Friday for this reporter, Saturday has been my “easy” day so far. Having a lull in panels to review and having lost the fight for the last slice-of-life-cake, I will now add some non-dairy-whipped-topping-fluff to the Daily Dragon content. Let us presume, for argument’s sake, that the only important measure of worth in our society is not… Read more →
