Dragon*Con This Weekend

Well, it's labor day in Atlanta, so that means Dragon*Con is upon us (as well as a shit load of LSU fans to mix things up, should be great!). 

This year, the main guy seems to be Stan Lee.  Seeing as he's 88 and so accessible, I figure I'll spring for his autograph.  The ladies of Firefly will be there, with the exception of Gina Torres.  The schedule has now been published, so I have a couple nights of planning out which panels to hit.   I have to work half a day on Friday, so I should be able to hit the festivities just a bit late. 

I'm thinking of wearing my Sith/Dark Jedi costume, if it's ready in time.  The main concern I have is that it's right smack dab in the middle of where I work.  Is it acceptable for clients, peers and employees to see me dressed as a Dark Jedi? 

I'll be taking Saturday off, as it's the start of college football season.  Hopefully, there aren't any must see panels in that time.  Granted, the Bama game is at 7:00pm, but I'd like to catch Kentucky @ Louisville, Memphis @ Mississippi State, LSU/UNC (although that's being played here, and I could go see it dressed as a Dark Jedi!).

So, any other cats around here heading to the Con?  Anyone going to PAX?

I would totally go since I'm in Aiken, SC. But I can't afford it this year. A couple of friends of mine are going though. Maybe you'll run into each other.

Yeah, I wish the con were a week sooner or something. The last two years, it was okay, because Alabama was playing in the Chick Fil-A game, and I was able to do both. I wouldn't mind going to the game in Tuscaloosa, but it's a 7 hour drive round trip, and being a 7:00pm start, I wouldn't get home until probably 3:00am, which would kill my Sunday at Dragon*Con.
