--- Quote from: Stiletto on August 31, 2010, 12:18:44 AM ---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.

Check out the program. There are panels for all of those movies and shows just about every day. Most of them aren't real serious.
Any changes to the schedule should be posted online at the Daily Dragon website. They also print copies at the con and pass them out at the information booths. (There's one in each host hotel; be warned, they go fast.) Sometimes they're a little behind. For example, all the Buffy cast panels have been canceled due to James Marsters having to drop out today due to his new TV show starting production early.

If you're really into writing, A.C. Crispin holds a writers workshop or two. But there is an extra charge for them. And it might be too late to sign up for them.

There's an overflow room with a large projection screen. It's usually in the Hyatt in rooms Regency VI-VII.
Mousekabob:
Oh, if you are in any of the main hotels, do catch DragonCon TV, it's great. That's one big thing I'm gonna miss about not having a hotel room this year.
Stiletto:
Wow, Mercedes Lackey will be there too. I thought she didn't do conventions, but I'm happy to be proven wrong.

Masquerade will be shown live on large screen in the Atrium Ballroom at the Marriott. I watched it there last year and the room wasn't even half full. I know there's a tv in the con suite(a little known room on the second floor of the Hyatt that provides free sodas and snacks throughout the con), but I don't know if they show DC*TV there. It seems likely they would have the tv on the DC*TV channel during the con.
