    While I am a huge creature of habit and devolved many “traditions” on places I go and things I do each year I’m really feel like it’s gotten to locked in and need to break it up a bit. After the rest of this year I’d like to change course on a few other things as well into 2024.

    I like people who like nostalgia. It means they have a good heart. When you remember things that made you happy, it is likely that you are happy. Or at least have an overall positive/ hill attitude. In this case, Adam’s mind loves the creative side of things. Love it.

      Just seeing that it’s three hours to get into a vendor room. Unless they expand, it’s not worth it. If you have to spend your entire time waiting in lines, it’s an absolute waste. I didn’t see Adan in any panels this year. Why pay a premium price to just wait in lines to spend more money?

They were rushing people through. I could barely say one sentence to him. I at least got out " You were my childhood" and he said "Thank you" and that was it. Michael J. Fox was at the con, too. People were bringing stacks and stacks of hover boards to get signed. It was insane.

    I went to Dragoncon once a decade ago. I think they should move it to a different time of year as I remember I was constantly covered in sweat. As you have to go outside and run from one panel to the next as they are in several different hotels. I never went back as I just didn't like spending the whole day drenched in sweat.

    No more Adam at the Dragon Con, denied. Nice work documenting the vibe of the convention.

    I’m glad I’m not alone in how stressful con was this year
