This past weekend, a whole lot of people I know were down in Atlanta for DragonCon. It’s an event I’ve been numerous times before and is always an amazing adventure.
I haven’t been there in four years now.
Finances and schedules have kept me from being able to make it back.
This year a bunch of people I know went for the first time.
I’m amazingly sad that I couldn’t be part of that.
Bringing new people along was always a huge joy. Watching them acclimate to the distinct atmosphere of a major gathering of nerds, geeks, freaks, and general fandom weirdness rekindles all sorts of memories and feelings of my own first time.
A lot of other people I know were off on other holiday-weekend-related adventures. End of summer trips, weddings, that one last excursion to the beach, the renaissance fair. I don’t really have a vacation. I have a day off I don’t get paid for. I haven’t had a real vacation… since DragonCon 2010.
Hopefully, I’ll be able to say differently some time before the next decade is over.
Hopefully.
Until then, I just keep pushing onward.
Since that’s the most sensible thing to do.
Lots of feed items spanning a wide variety of entertainment and interest. (Not quite as wide as, say DragonCon, but still a nice collection of stuff, if I do say so myself.)
Here’s the feed.
I blog quite often and I truly appreciate your content.
This article has really peaked my interest.
I’m going to book mark your blog and keep checking for new information about
