Just got back in from geeking out with roughly 50,000 other geeks at Dragoncon<\/a>.\u00a0 As per usual, I had a blast, saw some good panels, met some good people, spent more money than I probably should have (hey!\u00a0 I now own *3* Utilikilts!\u00a0 And one of them isn’t black!), and almost certainly drank more than was healthy.\u00a0 Oh… and I did get… some sleep… somewhere…. I think….<\/p>\n

Somehow, the folks at Dragoncon have figured out a method of dealing with handling out prereg badges that completely eliminated the line.\u00a0 For those of you who’ve never been, prereg badge pickup has its own rather large convention hall, which is usually full with the line going out the door and around the block on Thursday.\u00a0 It’s not unusual to see beach balls being bounced around the crowd.<\/p>\n

The actual con was good.\u00a0 Saw some good panels.\u00a0 Got to see several bands play.\u00a0 I think for this crowd, the ones that you guys might know are Voltaire<\/a>, the Cruxshadows<\/a> (warning: link goes to site that autoplays music), and Emerald Rose<\/a>.\u00a0 All were good.<\/p>\n

I think the only down note was with the City Of Heroes meet and greet.\u00a0 As Erin has posted<\/a>, NCSoft declared on Friday that they were ending the game and disbanding the development studio.\u00a0 The meet and greet turned into a kind of wake as we all told stories about our experiences in the game.\u00a0 I think there were\u00a0 four other couples besides me and Naienko in the room that had the game play a major role in our relationship.<\/p>\n

Oh wait… this is a gun blog… I’m supposed to post about guns… ummm… uh…. This is the best I got:<\/p>\n
