In case my post from a short while ago didn't make it clear, I'm rather excited about Dragon*Con, which runs September 1-4. I probably posted something similar about a year ago, but for me Dragon*Con is the high point of the year. It's Christmas, my birthday, Tết, and Halloween rolled together, garnished with nudity, and served with a big helping of Mardi Gras.
My plans and costumes for this year don't differ significantly from last year. I'll get my hair trimmed sometime later this week so I can get started with the bleaching (my Fall coat, doncha' know!). We'll be bringing just a bit more electronics this year than in years past. I'm looking forward to
For those who are going, someone has thoughtfully put together a list of places to go to eat that are within striking range of `con. It's a .PDF, so I'll be saving it. We already have tentative plans to have sushi with some of the cryonics gang. :-)
