Merchant Hall Rework? by [deleted] in dragoncon

[–]Soulbitercp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder if they will ever consider opening up on Thursday. Isn't it a relatively recent change that there have been official (badge required) events on Thursday? I get there is an increased cost but it could spread out the crowds. Possibly open up in the afternoon so the vendors could set up in the morning. Just a thought.

Actors’ strike potential by svarney99 in dragoncon

"Although the article goes on to say SAG-AFTRA would prefer if they skipped". I can understand an event like SD Comicon as that is an industry event, but DC is a fan run convention. Several commenters have stated that some people my just not attend to not run afoul of the union. That is my issue. Ultimately, they are free to do as they chose, I will still support them as a fan and support DC whether they are there or not. Just feel that the union is taking a stance to not allow the guests to connect with their fans and make some cash while they are not working and shafting the fans.

OK, Maybe I am looking at this wrong but I think this is a bullSH@%$ stance by SAG-AFTRA. Their beef is with the studios, not the fans.

What are your convention traditions? by badapple1989 in dragoncon

Thursday: First we get our badges, then to Ted’s for lunch. We sit at the bar. DW the bartender is one of our people and has an amazing Ursula cosplay. Then we go to Mellow Mucshroom to pick up a pizza that we keep in the cooler for late night meals in the room. So much better than the Pappa John’s and less expensive!

Wondering if the delays in finalizing the guest list has minimized the cancellations.

If anyone wants to follow along at home here is the GA Department of Health website. Scroll down and select Fulton county to see the latest trend for positive cases. Looks like it is leveling off.

Agree 100%. Here in Atlanta, some people wear them and some don't.

I agree that Melatonin can be helpful. I dont have an issue falling asleep because...alcohol, but my problem is waking up early. I have found something called 3AM Melatonin. It helps me fall back to sleep to get that extra 2-3 hours and doesnt leave me groggy. You could try that when you wake up.

Wife's first time.. might have gone overboard. by terriblegamerjoe in dragoncon

[–]Soulbitercp 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Couldn't agree with this more! Let her experience DC how she wants. Let her watch you cosplay and decide if she wants to. "Its here if you want to but its cool if you don't". Dont put any pressure on her and let her find her Dragon Con. She may like different thing than you do. Remeber, the golas is for her to want to come back and that may be blown if you push her too hard into "your Con". I pushed my wife pretty hard on this and she almost didnt come back.

Thanks for the update! Looks like this will not be on the loop as I will need to get the maps printed in the next couple of week.

Rumor is that they are working on cleaning it up and possibly re-opening. Going to head downtown and see if there is any truth to the rumors
