DragonCon is is a humongous fan convention held in Atlanta, Georgia every year over Labor Day weekend.
There were mature folks,
Some folks just couldn't stay awake.
There are hundreds of workshops, shows, parades, and dealers of books, magazines, costumes, and everything to do with horror, fantasy, and futuristic characters, movies and more. That sounds vague but there is too much to explain. The events are staged in four hotels in downtown Atlanta. Yep, four of them. Here are a few of the sights I saw when I escaped the writers tract in search of food.There were babies, too.

Wow. Kewl post. I have never been to this. It must really be something.
Ve-e-e-ery interesting! Must be such a fun event! Thanks for sharing...
It was fun! The sights could be overwhelming at times. I didn't leave my own hotel this time.
I never knew who or what would appear around any corner.
Wow, were costumes mandatory, LOL?
No, Debbie, they weren't. I only took one with me.
It was hard to tell about some people, though. Costume or just plain strange taste in clothes and hair.
Great pictures, thanks for sharing. I can't believe I live in Georgia and have never been to Dragon Con!
You know that looks like a fun thing to do. I woulda loved it!
Oh My!!! Great pictures. This looks even better than RT. Mama Mary how could you go without your kids?? But seriously that looks too...much for me.
Great photos, Mary. DragonCon is such fun and so bizarre! But I know you worked hard, though I see you got a little time out of the Writers' Track.
Just walkin around, Mary? Interesting post, and loved the costumes.
Mona, some kids were there but some costumes were a bit much, or not enough. I have no kids, only a daughter, now 38.
Thanks, Linda! i had a few minutes away from supervision. My keepers weren't looking all the time.
Joanna, all I could do was stare sometimes. I didn't do parades or parties. I was a tad too conservative.
