I will probably go the DragonCon as I am in Columbia, SC. And, well, you are right. It is time that I popped Pulloutski's Convention cherry. Next year it is then. I hope you don't plan to meet up with Pro. He's too good for us. Why Pro show no love?

(Because I'm an elitist!)
Because the three guys I meet up with every year are my very best friends. I go back almost two decades with them, and we all live in separate parts of the country now. Dragon*Con is our platform for getting together for a drunken debauchery of a weekend. Thus, if I only have so many days with these guys, I'm not going to waste time trying to get to know/meet people I post online with, just because they happen to be there. I would expect the exact same from others, because it makes sense...

I was just jesting, Pro. I understand completely. Some friends from high school and I have something similar every year, as well.

I was just jesting, Pro. I understand completely. Some friends from high school and I have something similar every year, as well. Oh, sorry if I came off abrasive. Wasn't intentional. I've been drunk for the past three days, so I'm relatively hung-over for the next 48 hours... If Lord Gob himself skipped into DrunkenCon would you have met him? Nah. Not unless it was something important. Besides, Gobert would be too busy with all of the Spartans...  some of Pro's shit dont stink personality actually slips into his posts from time to time.... True, that's a fact I don't deny. I make no excuses for who I am, though. No one's perfect. Except for PJP.

All of these picks have me convinced that next year I have to introduce Pulloutski to the wild and crazy world of cons. This could be the RKMBs Con. Knut? You in?

Knut! I got your message. But, honestly, I use Drunken*Con to meet-up with three of my college buddies, and we stay drunk all weekend. I don't normally try and meet with anyone from Rob's Board (or otherwise). No offense!
 K-dude, If I were there I would have been happy to meet up with you and proud to introduce you to my friends.

One of the guys I went with got his autograph, and I briefly shook his hand outside that restaurant in the Marquis (Pulse, I think it's called). Anyway, he said that Brooks seemed to be real out of it, possibly on meds or something. Said his hand was shaky, and it took two tries to sign his autograph. Weird.

It was a good con, but it's having overcrowding problems more and more often. Not just the Big Events (the costume contests, guest-star get-togethers, etc.), but even everyday panels--like most of the Doctor Who and Torchwood panels--were massively overloaded and had to turn people away.

That has to do with their shitty organization. The con organizers see Star Trek and Star Wars as their big go-getters and put Doctor Who at the bottom. They plan and book rooms according to that idea.

That's the way it was when I went back in 2005. The Serenity and Star Wars panels were packed to the point where browncoats and Stormtroopers were getting turned away in droves.

Hopefully the organizers will come to see that Trek and Wars are the fading dinosaurs, and get with the actual popular franchises...

Heck, the fan base for Joss Whedon alone exceeds the Star Trek crowd by a wide margin. I saw Whedonites everywhere.

Makes you wonder who is running the show. Probably an old Trekkie diehard. Of course, by next year they'll have Trek XI to try and force on the crowd...
