Jim at Dragon*Con 2010
Heather H.:
Hey everyone!
This is my first post, woo!
I was at Dragon Con and went mainly for Jim. I haven't read all of the pages of this thread but I have skimmed a few. I was part of the group of people who didn't get the chance to meet him, which I understand is a pretty large group? Haha. I was the third person behind the cut-off in line at his autograph session, then followed down to his supposed second autograph session that got canceled even though it was never really official? I managed to make it to his CSI panel and his interview, and really enjoyed them both. Missed all the others, though.
I hope he's at Dragon Con next year...this was my first time at a convention of this nature and I quickly learned that in order to get a decent spot in line you need to show up three hours early!

I know! But I figure with next year being the 25th anniversary, it's probably gonna be nuts. Well, more nuts. LOL. Better to lose a $188 deposit due to unforseen circumstances than be madly scrambling to find someone's floor to crash on.

I was planning on splitting the cost with a friend, but she had a family emergency come up, and wasn't able to go, and I wound up with a double room at the Sheraton all by myself. It didn't work out too bad, though. I got the Dragon*Con ticket early at the $40 price, and used some Skymiles for the room, so the major cash outlay was the $21 per day parking charge. Not counting gas, parking, beer and meals ran me less than $90 for all three days I was there.

I was at the Westin, I got a deal though hotwire for $69 a night. We had the Browncoat and Steampunk tracks in our hotel, and everything else was only a block away, so I feel Like we got a good con experience from the hotel without having to deal with the headaches of the main 4 hotels.
Stiletto:
Ok, I paid WAY too much for my room, obviously! :'( I did kind of do it last minute though, and there was hardly anything left.
Honestly, I don't think I'll go to DragonCon next year. It was just way too crowded for me, and crowds are not my thing. I had a nice time, though, so it was worth it...just not going to repeat.
