Herein lies a place to stick your stuff from Dragon*Con. Use it wisely and well.
Images which may cause retinal scarring will please to be linked for the safety of your fellow browncoats. Images which are not likely to cause permanent damage are encouraged.
Of course there are probably so many that the entire site will get bogged down...
So, without further ado:
Thoughts, opinions, emotional outbursts?

Dear and fluffy lord. This was my first D*C, and I was *so* not mentally prepared for it. I don't think I could have been any more prepared than I was without having experienced it before, but that was just unbelievable.
Unfortunately, I didn't manage to connect with a single damn person from this board. Granted, there were a *ton* of Browncoats that were readily visible, and I did at least see Cozen (or at least someone wearing Cozen's badge), but I never got to talk to anyone. Disappointed, but it will just have to be something that I rectify next year =)
Goodness gracious that place was insane...

All I can say is wow... This was my first con experience. It both lived up to my expectations and exceeded them =) I had a great time, but missed out on some of the things that I really wanted to see/do, but I'll be better prepared for next year. From almost getting lost in the shuffle for the Mythbuster panel to spending way too much at the vendors... Ahhh, my calendar is now measured in days to DragonCon '08.

I had a blast! It was so wonderful to meet my fellow Browncoats and put faces to the names. I am still recovering. I think I need to sleep for a week.

Oh oh oh did I have fun, but it went by too fast. I think I'll be on an emotional hangover for a while.
I missed you, Whimsy! I'm glad you had fun.

Had a great time!
This being my second D*C, I was a little more prepared. Met a whole mess of folks, JediSix, Citizen, Sid, the SEBC gang, Akin the Finder, and more!
Oh, and in that vein, I have to apologize for my wife pulling me away from a group of Browncoats...I *think* there was a Frank and maybe a Magdelena and my memory is too fuzzy now...but if someone reading this is the people I got pulled away from in the Hyatt lobby, please note that I searched for you all weekend to apologize. I was not being rude! My wife dragged me off to the side and when I turned around, I had lost you in the waves of bodies. Please email me and we can get to know eachother!
Being in the parade was awesome, plus, being the only Browncoat trooper NOT in the 76th, it helped me stand out just a little bit more, just like Mal. ;) Still, I hope to march with them next year!
Ron and Mark were awesome, as usual. Got them to sign blown up versions of their BWAH! cards, and Ron loved my Jayne costume. They both loved the t-shirts and Southern Ohio Browncoat(SOB) patches I gave them, though Mark's T was too big, so he said he'd let his kid use it as a sleep shirt (which to me, being a father myself, was so very shiny!).
All in all, a fun time. I got to escort a D*C rookie around and she snapped pics like crazy. We got invited by Lloyd Kaufman himself to go see a private screening of Poultrygeist, the newest Troma film, and it was as funny as it was disgusting! So that was fun, also slummed in the Buffy 'verse a while by going to see James Marsters & Juliet Landau and company's panels. They were great too!
Bought too much swag as usual, but since most of it went to the SEBC, it's cool. Especially when I found out there is a pic of me in the Browncoat Yearbook! (bottom of page 33, if you are wondering, immediately above the <33> )
:)
And now I am home and tired, sore, but very satisfied.
BWAH!

Missed the Con this year, but I was there in spirit. Living here in the ATL, it was nice to hear much positive talk across the cortex. ( local t.v. and radio ) From the FM stations to the sports talk folks on the AM side, the word was out that DC was on. 
Can't wait to hear all the stories and such the Con folk have to share.
People love a happy ending. So every episode, I will explain once again that I don't like people. And then Mal will shoot someone. Someone we like. And their puppy. - Joss

Oh honey, that was nothing! You should have SEEN some of the stuff floating around out there after the sun went down. Midday too come to think about it.
