Not quite sure if this belongs here or in MPSIMS so Mods, feel free to move it. Any other dopers out there heading to Atlanta to attend DragonCon? I’ve had my ticket for a while and I’m starting to get a little excited. It’s going to be my first Con of any kind. If you’re going, be sure to watch out for a rogue group of Tusken Raiders. We’ll be the ones smelling like beer. ---

I’ll be there! Of course, I won’t have to “head for” Atlanta, since I live here. Maybe we could have a DragonDopefest! ---

I’m out of work. (I even had to miss Oasis this past weekend, and that’s right next door in Orlando.) If I can afford it by Labor Day, I’ll go! I will **not** under any circumstances miss Tampa’s own [Necronomicon!](http://www.stonehill.org/necro.htm) I’ll go if I’m **dead!** ---

I’m going with my boyfriend. It will be my second D_C but for my first one a couple years ago I was sick with a cold and really wiped out for the whole thing. I’ve been to other cons in the past but none as big as D_C. ---

I’m going, if all goes well. I’ve never been to a DragonCon or to Atlanta, so I’m hoping to take in a local sight or two before or after the con, like the aquarium or CNN (NOT World of CocaCola, thanks). I’m also hoping the weather won’t wipe me out. How steamy is it in Atlanta in late August? ---

[QUOTE=BrainGlutton] … I will **not** under any circumstances miss Tampa’s own [Necronomicon!](http://www.stonehill.org/necro.htm) I’ll go if I’m **dead!** [/QUOTE] Well, that would be appropriate. 😃 ---

[QUOTE=ryobserver] How steamy is it in Atlanta in late August? [/QUOTE] Very, very steamy. The “dog days” don’t get any doggier than they do in Atlanta. But, contact me off-board if you’d like company for the Aquarium et al. I love escorting visitors around my fair city. ---

I might be going - haven’t decided yet. I went last year for the first time, and really enjoyed it.
