Newbie and Meetups

[writcraft]

Hi folks - SO excited about Dragon*Con. I am a con newbie and I will also be travelling to the US from London so I am an Atlanta newbie too. Lots of excitement for me *snoopy dance*. I was wondering if anyone knows if there are any HP meet ups and/or any Joss Whedon or LoTR related meet ups that are generally open for people interested in those

You should definitely go to the Evening in Bree party on Friday if you're into LOTR - it's a super fun party, Emerald Rose plays, and there will be lots of amazing costumes.

The Buffy and Dr. Horrible sing-a-longs are great for Whedonites. I think there is also a Browncoats:Redemption wrap party this year.

Yule Ball is the main HP event - however, I think it's the same time as the Browncoats party. Still, both last for hours, so you could easily go to both.

There's usually a photoshoot/meetup list posted on this comm about a week out. Other than that, the parties are great place to meet folks - though the best is probably the lines for the big panels. There will be panels every day about those various fandoms and the lines will be 1-2hrs long, so there's plenty of time to make new friends :)

If you have never done a Dr. Horrible Sing-a-Long live event, I'm serious... make that your number 1 priority for the entire 4 days. Our first Dragon*Con we went and that show alone was worth every penny we spent on the airplane, hotel, and food combined!

It is amazing, isn't it? Buffy Horror Picture Show is fantastic as well and usually right before it.
