We're home again. DragonCon was lots of fun. I was able to serve on some panels, and I shared a reading with Faith Hunter. I made some great professional connections, visited with several good friends and even cosplayed a character for the first time (Eva from 'Hell On Wheels'). We had a couple of amazing meals at a lovely new restaurant

That's pretty crummy of the Marriott. Any chance it could be held at a different venue that's more flexible?

DragonCon's so big it takes up five hotels, all of which are within a block of each other in downtown Atlanta. We've stayed at the Marriott, which is the central hotel, for the last three years, because it was convenient.

0_o I see, but I'm having a little trouble wrapping my brain around the scale of that.

It's pretty mindboggling. It's you and 45,000 of your closest friends. -laughs- I had a room on the 31st floor of the Marriott, and I could still hear the crowd in the lobby every night.

One of the best things this year was being on the 44th floor. No noise from downstairs and no elevator traffic. None at all. Wish I could guarantee the same thing for next year.
