Current Music: Voltaire - Death Death (devil, devil, devil, devil, evil, evil, evil, evil song)
I should have done this almost a week ago. Well now i have time. Dragon*Con was as usual the biggest party the city has seen since the last one. I only went for 2 days, but I had an amazing time. I also got to meet a few fellow furries and got to find out who my fan girl is. I won't name names here as to who she is in case she doesn't want it to be made public.
Saturday was mostly spent waiting n line to register, so I spent a good bit looking around the 3 hotels the con is held in. I was really looking forward to the Voltaire concert to be held at the concourse stage that evening, but the show was canceled after his first Song. Seems he was declared a fire hazard, so the show was canceled and moved for Sunday. Later I went over and joined in with the Vampire LARP. I enjoy that kind of thing because I love being the actor I really am.
Sunday came, and I had a mission for that morning. I got up early and jumped in near the front of the line for the Walk of Fame. The Cheerleader from Heroes, Hayden Leslie Panettiere was there, so I had her autograph Heroes: Season 2 for my brother. He is a big fan of the series. I also got George Tekai, who played Hiro's Dad to sign it as well. That was the most important thing I could get done while there. My brother is in Korea, teaching Kindergarten kids English and other things. The rest of the day was spent hanging out with several people I met at the con, most of them Furries, then I was off to catch the rescheduled and relocated Fire hazard, I mean Voltaire show. The place was about half full and this was a huge room. I was near the front, so when he got on stage most of the front charged the stage and stood at the foot of the stage. He played several songs from his new album "To The Bottom Of The Sea" (which I got an autographed copy for myself and![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)
maikujaku ) There is also a Birthday song on their. I was brave enough to tell him it was my Birthday what Wednesday, so he dedicated the song to myself and a few others in the room who also had birthday that week, and he even put my name in the song. I was really flattered, and that had to be the highlight of my weekend. I would have gone back for the second night of the Vampire LARP, but I had to head home so I could help with something happening on Monday, and I couldn't find my character sheet.
Al in all, I had Uber fun! The only other cons I had more fun at was![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif)
megaplex and anthrocon, but this was a different kind of fun. This is the kind of fun you can only get when every fandom is tossed into one big area and allowed to go crazy for the weekend. I mean I saw Captain Jack in a Slave Leia outfit, (And yes it was a girl, doing Jack not a guy). Where else but at this kind of con can you see such a thing.
