Drum Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 Here is a topic for those interested in the Dragon Con Atlanta event (8/29 to 9/1/2014). This is Sci-Fi Fantasy based comics, shows, and games entertainment, with a ton of vendors and the usual suspects who dress funny. http://dragoncon.org/ CIG will be there with: David Ladyman (I think he will be involved with one of the Writer's Workshop events). Ben Lesnick Dave Haddock David Hobbins and Alex Mayberry No conformation seen on CIG participation dates, but I imagine most of the action will be on Saturday and Sunday (8/30 and 8/31). Gaming Booths and Vendors will be open all four days but some participants only show for a day or two. There are entry fees of course, and some multi-day packages available (At the door, or pre-order). Dragon Con 2014 (August 29 - September 1) $130 Friday to Monday 4-day (available for purchase on Thursday and Friday only) $100 Saturday to Monday 3-day (available for purchase on Saturday only) $60 Sunday to Monday 2-day (available for purchase on Sunday only) $40 Friday only (available for purchase on Friday only) $50 Saturday only (available for purchase on Saturday only) $40 Sunday only (available for purchase on Sunday only) $30 Monday only (available for purchase on Monday only) I am poking at the youngin to see if he wants to go, since he is playing a lot more games than I am. He is sort of fixated on his trip to the Anaheim BlizzCon later this year, but I may be able to twist his arm to drive to Atlanta with me. Later this week I will know for sure if I will be in Atlanta on Labor Day weekend. How about you !? - DRUM out Hammer173 1
Wyvyrias Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 I read dragons, I came here for dragons. I can't travel there and I don't even know what this dragoncon is, but I like the name.
Gallitin Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 Might be fun, if CIG is doing their own event like they did at PAX. PAX was a disappointment the only real fun part was the CIG party. If they have their own I'll be going, if not then I'll pass.
Rocket Man Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 I have a five-day weekend that weekend! I guess depending on what CIG does, I may consider going.
Zhane Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 Dragon*Con is a great event, I had lots of fun when I used to live down there. I miss being an hour-ish from Atlanta sometimes. Worth going to if you dig cons, CIG or not.
Drum Posted July 30, 2014 Author Posted July 30, 2014 Looks like we will be in Atlanta Friday and Saturday. Saturday for Dragon, since we have some other plans in the area for most of Fri. - DRUM out
Gallitin Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 I've decide I may fly in for this. Would be open to meeting up with members for some dinners/drinks.
Monkeyfeast Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 Dragon*Con is a great event, I had lots of fun when I used to live down there. I miss being an hour-ish from Atlanta sometimes. Worth going to if you dig cons, CIG or not. Agreed with @Zhane, though it's been about 10 or 11 years since I went... so I suppose my view is old. However, DragonCon still is established as one of the best Cons in that part of the country. They usually have a good mix of events and guests - worth checking out if you're able to get to ATL.
CyberianK Posted August 29, 2014 Posted August 29, 2014 Is there any Panel at DragonCon where someone from CIG will be at and that will be streamed?

Wu Jen Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 I'll be the test Guinea pig on this, just applied it to my account to see how badly it messes it up. Only good until September 5th according to the page after inputting the code. https://robertsspaceindustries.com/promotions/dragoncon-2014 VoA and Morgenroete 2
Morgenroete Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 https://robertsspaceindustries.com/promotions/dragoncon-2014 In the website it said the pass is valid until Sep 5....
Wu Jen Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 https://robertsspaceindustries.com/promotions/dragoncon-2014 In the website it said the pass is valid until Sep 5.... You know, knowing Turbulent and how they do web design gud...we have probably both screwed our accounts up.... I have no idea if it added another Aurora or not to my Hangar, but other people are reporting that it does add a Aurora to your Hangar.
Wu Jen Posted September 12, 2014 Posted September 12, 2014 Promo up for those that put the code in: A bit cheaper than is normally offered.
