Dragoncon -- Friday
A couple of (high?) points from today:
- For future reference, Atlanta is a 9 hour drive from Norfolk, net the traffic and a couple of stops for a bite and gas. It might be less bad if going around Charlotte hadn't happened at rush hour on the Fri. of a holiday weekend, but that's the way it was.
- I found the check-in desk 10 minutes after it closed. "Come back tomorrow honey, we open at 8 a.m.", gleamed the cheery little (we're talking 5' 2") attendant as she swung the ballroom door shut.
- "Sam Anders" and "Gaeta" of BSG fame were spotted in the atrium. I grabbed my glass and headed down, but never saw them. Hopefully they'll be on a panel this weekend.
Rex, a Dragoncon vet and my roomie for the weekend, tells me tonight is the light one for parties, etc. Inside glimpse of the revelers in the atrium from the 6th floor.
