Dragon Con 2009 - Sunday
Sep. 7th, 2009 07:43 amAfter approximately three hours, I awoke and went for a run. Bad idea. Sleep good and needed to be productive runner.
I attended a class on Dwarf Runes. It was interesting and I received a Lord of the Rings centric primer and practice guide to further my studies in Geek Languages.
After a pit stop at Starbuck's for green tea and pumpkin bread, I high tailed it over to the Hyatt for the "Stealth Science and Skeptical Thought" panel.
When I arrived, I saw two lines serpentining in parallel. One was for the TAPS panel, the other for the Skeptics.
The line for a panel dedicated to ghost hunting was right next to the line for a bunch of skeptics.
Let that sink in for a moment.
Yeah. I expected a rumble a la West Side Story to erupt at any moment.
Fortunately, nothing happened, at least during the time I waited in line.
Now, as mentioned before, waiting in line at Dragon Con is not unusual. I did not question the length of this line.
Then someone said Adam Savage.
"Wait, Adam Savage is going to be in this panel?"
"Yeah, you didn't know?"
Holy Mother of Pearl, Adam "Mythbusters" Savage. (Adam is the one who does not sport the walrus mustache.)
Pics or it didn't happen? Fine, you're lucky I had to do a photo dump this morning.
Later in the evening was a life drawing session with Dr. Sketchy's Anti Art School.

It was like your typical life drawing class. Only with cabaret dancers. We did a series of 2 minute sketches, 5 minute sketches, 10 minute sketches, and the final boss battle, a 20 minute sketch.
The night ended with me running into the sexiest female Freddy Krueger. There are pictures, but you will just have to wait until I do another photo dump.
Monday Plan:
*Make up sculpting
*Hit up the dealers' room one last time
*ROBOT BATTLES!
