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.

I never knew what I'd see when I left the relative safety of the Writers Track rooms.


Some folks seemed almost normal. Others might put a person off her feed.

Adventurers abounded. Monsters showed up everywhere.

And then there were the folks in costumes and makeup.
