Dragon*Con 2009 - Friday
Sep. 5th, 2009 08:13 amAwoke a little before six in the morning and went down to the gym for a workout.
The Nimoy/Shatner panel started at 10. While I enjoyed a envigorating fat burning bicycle ride, people began to line up for the Holy Grail of panels.
Not being insane, I chose to watch the panel in the comfort of my con hotel room.
Friday was not a big panel day for me. I decided to give blood, only to be turned away because my iron was low. Again. I had tried on Thursday with similar results.
I showed up for the LOST Dharma Initiative photo shoot, giant fish biscuit in hand. It pleased many, and random people approached me and thanked me for making it.
Photographs were taken, and I decided a polyester jumpsuit in Atlanta humidity was not the way to go for an all day ensemble.
After the failed blood donation, I followed Jonathan to his first panel. (Jonathan is volunteering with the Science Track this year.)
As we waited to find out why the room wasn't open, I people watched. A man headed toward me bearing a striking resemblance to Michael "Colonel Saul Tigh" Hogan. As he cam closer and brushed my shoulder as he swiftly walked by, I soon realized it was Michael "Colonel Saul Tigh" Hogan. Once he was out of sight, I had my fan girl moment.
Last year, the comic artists' alley was crammed into the maze like lowest floor of the Marriott. This year, I approve of the move to the Hyatt.
I met Jennie Breeden of The Devil's Panties and proceeded to go brain dead fan girl on her. I apologized and told her I was a big fan but all I could think to say was "YOU DRAW GOOD!". I then bought a ton of her graphic novels and a Pretty Princess pin.
Even though it's the first official day of the con, I already know what my favourite purchase is. I stumbled upon a random kawaii and creepy booth in artist alley selling kid robot and like merchandise.
I purchased a two inch long pink bunny sporting a fine mustache. Kid Robot, I don't know what you were thinking, but I approve.
I also met a gentleman from a site called Sugar Ninjas. It's a site where female artists can meet and get feedback and support. After he learned I have a "web comic" he encouraged me to check out the site. I grabbed a business card and thanked him.
Jonathan also had trouble donating blood, so we devoured iron burritos for dinner. Saturday should be the magic day of blood letting.

Saturday's Plans:
Watch the parade.
Autograph session with Charlaine Harris.
Drawing workshops.
Blood donation.
