Any Dopers at or going to Dragoncon this weekend? If so, what do you plan on seeing and have you got any advice for a First Timer?

Nope - I’m heading down for the parade today, but can’t help with the actual con (I thought about getting a day pass for today, but decided this morning I don’t want to deal with that level of crowd - the parade will be enough 🙂 )  
Have fun!
