DonC and I do not share the same feelings on the Dawn contest, though I do have to stand on line for at least 2 hours to get in to that one and get a decent seat. I've done it most years and enjoy the show and variance in the various contestants costumes, everything from professional dancers to ladies who put way too much into their armor. That said, I may skip it this year though since there is a conflict.

The costumes (and the ladies) are beautiful, but the one time I went I wound up near the back and couldn't see a thing. I'm sure it didn't help that I showed up like 15 after the event started, though. I had an event directly before it.
As for the masquerade, if you do go and are going to want pictures of the contestants, then I recommend sitting near the back. After the contest, they have a photo shoot in the back of the room. They partition the room off and have the contestants walk across a small stage. This fills up very fast, though. And the con will take away your badge is you try to shoot photographs in the Hyatt before midnight. (It's a fire marshal thing.)
Postie:
Jim's auto's are up against a Scott Bakula panel (which will be huge given that he has never been to D*C, doesn't do a whole lot of Cons, and is only in ATL on Friday & Saturday.) Since I have had the pleasure to meet Mr. Bakula before, I will be lining up to meet one of my favorite authors of all-time.
My hardest decision will be what book I actually want Jim to sign. :)
DonC:
Yeah, I actually have three different things I'm trying to do at 1pm, Saturday. I'm hoping to get out of Jim's signing as early as possible, then go catch the tail end of the Star Wars costume contest. After that I'm supposed to meet a group of friends for our annual Dragon*Con lunch.
Stiletto:
I'd sort of hard for me to say what I'm interested in - I like a lot of things, but I'm not sure if I like them enough to see events on them. I like Star Wars, Star Trek, Eureka, BSG, Buffy, Angel, and a lot of sci-fi/fantasy authors. I'm not into "hard" science... I'm fairly interested in the writing track. I haven't written anything for 10 years or so, but am curious, I guess, and thinking about trying to write again - would like to learn more about it, at least.
I guess I'm mostly interested in humorous panels or events, regardless of topic, with a slant towards writing/author panels.

Will they have a public tv at the Marriot or elsewhere that anyone can watch on? I'm in an overflow hotel so no DragonCon tv. :(
