Cap't Reynolds- Where in SC are you?
I agree with the general majority, we have to start planning soon!! But how about after the NCBDMPP? I can't think past that right now. Then I'll be all on board with next year's D*C.
Cedric-thanks for the mention in your lj, I feel so special! And I can't wait to hear the new song. Argh, I can't wait until the 30th so I can say things without fear of spoilery retribution!!
WickedWren-I'm right there wishin' with you! Should I try clicking my heels and saying "There's no place like Dragon*Con. There's no place like Dragon*Con."? Couldn't hurt, right?
Jadehand-save some for the rest of us! 
Oh, I am soooo glad it's Friday!

I learned at Dragon*Con.....
removable adhesive does not stick well to candy eyeballs (thanks to the Doc for carrying them in the parade with his dental floss!) (and removable adhesive doesn't stick really well to anything---permanent for Reaver Chow next time!)
marching in the parade is more fun with your own musician...thanks again, Cedric!!!
remember to get prop ammo for costume before next year. (and gun....where the heck did Sloopy Jon get to with mine?)
the Kinkos in the Marriott is run by pirates who think nothing of taking your firstborn or whatever it takes to pay their outrageous prices.
I seem to have no problem getting a picture of Jewel/with Jewel, but an autograph? She's never around for that when I have said object to be signed!
check the waistband elastic in the tights for my Klingon outfit before I try to walk anywhere....stopping in the middle of the street to try to hike them back up from my knees without exposing myself is somewhat embarrassing.
have all my promo stuff done BEFORE the con next year....much less stress, and less with people not having any way to contact me to buy stuff.
Take less food, more water!
Nectarines get squished in a tote bag. It ain't pretty, and no matter how many times I tell my husband that, he'll do it again next year. ("APPLES, I said....APPLES!")
wickedwren's dad is a natural at marketing and a lot of fun to work a fan table with!

Could somebody tell those of us who couldn't make DragonCon how to play "Shiny"? Sounds like alcaholy goodness.

Me and CallMeSerenity invented the game. Basically we decided that we were saying the word "shiny" way too much. So now everytime we say "shiny" you take a sip or shot of whatever you are drinking. It came in very handy the night of the purple punch. People would just yell out "SHINY!" and take a sip. Then everyone else did likewise.

Batty-VERY easy game. If you say the word Shiny, you take a drink.
If someone else says the word shiny and you'd like to take a drink, then raise your glass, yell Shiny!! and take a drink.
Have fun!
SHK-You're right about WickedWren's dad-natural salesman. A wonderful asset to the fan table. He went around the last day to the other tables and handed out mountains of swag.

I cannot believe I co-invented a drinking game. My pentacostal friends would DIE if they knew!!
And man, that purple punch was great.

I am sooo with you. I have to say that part of the reason I was relieved to see the movie on my way to D*C was that I wouldn't have to dodge spoilers. However, I have to say that the fans there (and on most of the boards) have been *phenomenal* about not spoiling the BDM.
And I'm so dying to get that new song out there. _On the Drift_ may be the quickest album we've made! (Not really--Vitulari took five days. They were just spread out over an entire year.)

Cedric~
I was so excited yesterday when I went to your website and found out that you attend Louisiana RenFest! I was so excited that I called my close friends and they already knew. Took all the wind out of my sales! I wondered how I missed this pertinent information from you at dragon con. Well, when you were informing my friends of La RF, I was watching Josh, Male Companion do his interview with Jeremys ppl. So I just found out and I wanted to let you know that I am very excited about dragging friends to see you this year!

My dad just loves Firefly and wants to spread the good news. He had an absolute blast. I think it's the most fun he's had in a long time. Him being a resonsible adult with a job and house and family and all 
He went around to the dealers that couldn't get away from their own tables all weekend. And they were thrilled, everyone loves Firefly. Our sinister plot is working...
Shiny!
I probably shouldn't say shiny so much at work. They frown on the dinking games. Shiny, shiny, shiny. That should get me through the afternoon
