Seek the Wolf in Thyself!
I have been involved with convention fandom since 1989. That’s nearly 30 years of going to conventions as well as running them. The biggest I ever attended was DragonCon and I continued my patronage of that convention until I started having multiple kids and focusing on that part of my life. Through those years, I…
… and why I don’t miss it. It is that time of year again. Any fan or geek that is knows anything in the Southeast knows that Labeor day weekend means one thing – Dragon*Con. If you don’t know, it is basically the comic-con of the Southeast. At one time, I looked forward to this…
There was considerable doubt to whether we would go to D*C in 2007. We knew my wife was going to be pregnant again and money in general is tight. I also was not sure how Taylor would handle it. She was 1 when we went in 2005 and handled it OK. However, we had a…

2003 marks my 10th trip to DragonCon. From the enjoyment standpoint, this year was like every other year – I had a great time! However, things were definitely different at DragonCon. Change is good, though and I can easily see DragonCon continuing to grow even after I get too old to go. This year is…
8/29/2003 – 9/1/2003 – Watch for the Carolinas Con Party brought to you by ConCarolinas, StellarCon, Trinoc*Con, MACE, and RoundCon.
This summer I attended the X-files Expo in Atlanta, Phenomicon in High Point, and worked HeroCon in Charlotte. I saw several stars from X-Files, and chatted with Jason Carter from Babylon 5. This summer for Cons, and for sci-fi fandom in general was intense. I gamed more than I have in a long time, and…
The Mother of all cons gets a tan and the convention in a sardine can. MOC was over a few months ago, but I decided to wait so that I can get the full perspective. Well as I reflect, there was some good things and some bad things, but the overall feeling is that things…
