DragonCon

Anybody else going? I’ll be there Sunday. If you’re there, look me up, I’ll be the freak wearing the plain clothes. I’m thinking I may really attract some stares with my getup, I’m planning on wearing a tee shirt and maybe some cargo shorts. Seriously, people will freak out when they see how normal I look. I say this because I’ve seen pictures of costumed people from DragonCons past, and while a part of my mind says that those are the rare examples of attendees, I began scanning the background of those pics and realized that even the people on the fringe were in costume. I’ve never been to DragonCon, so I’m looking forward to it. I hope I don’t get beat up for looking so plain. I won’t even have a particularly cool tee shirt. I once had a D&D tee shirt that said, “The only good troll is a fireballed troll.” But my best friend stole it and then lost it. I wish I still had that shirt.

    Linked in from the Octopus.

    A friend of mine had a bumper sticker that said: “Don’t meddle in the affairs of Dragons, especially if you’re crunchy and taste good with ketchup”

    Heheh. That’s a good one, but…doesn’t everything taste good with ketchup?

    Glad to see you, Ennis. Is that your real name? Cool name.

    . . . and mayonnaise!

    Real enough for penning self-aggrandized masterpieces that no one wants to buy. Not quite real enough for cashing checks. But thanks. And shhhh! ; )

    Gotcha…and if you ever read anything by a fellow named Guy Crafty, well, you’ll know who wrote it :-)

    Roll saving throw against Geek Overload.

    Have fun, Matt. I don’t know about DragonCon, but at most others there are specific times to be in costume, most people dress normally. Or at least look normal as long as you don’t scratch too hard. :)

    They usually have plenty of t-shirts to choose from in the dealer’s room, BTW.

    I think I failed my save early in life. Heh.

    @Steve: In a way that’s good to know, but then again, one of the reasons I want to go is to see all the costumes! It’s a conundrum… :-)

    @Ennis: LOL!!
