Dragon Con and SkepTrack 2018

Wowbagger · 5th July 2018, 08:26 AM

So, who's going to Dragon Con this year?!

Me, me, me, meeeee!!!

Who else?!

What I like to call "Mardi Gras for Geeks" is not merely about science fiction and fantasy (though, that is most of it). It also includes a track of Skeptical talks, panels, and other events!

It's going on from August 30th to September 3rd, 2018; in Atlanta, Georgia.

More information about the whole con: http://www.dragoncon.org/

More info about SkepTrack at the con will be here: http://skeptics.dragoncon.org/
Though, as of writing, the 2018 info isn't on there, yet. You can see the 2017 content to get an idea of what it's going to be like.

I'll be flying in from a trip to Disney World (and Universal Orlando, but mostly Disney), so I won't have much time for pre-con activities, if there are any, this year. I know that sometimes the local skeptics in the area throw a few things together.

Did I mention Peter Capaldi will be there?

I see what you did there.

If you happen to be a Cakewrecks.com fan, I don't know if Jen and John might be there, but her parents do live in Atlanta. Otherwise, they live in Orlando....

No. The character is simply called The Doctor. You might be thinking of the Peter Cushing character that was named Dr. Who. Or, maybe the person on first.

I will be at DragonCon this year. No clue what exactly I will do there. But signed up and have a hotel room.
