Live from the corner of Peachtree and Peachtree

It seems like every street in Atlanta is named Peachtree. As you can tell they even meet up sometimes.

Today was the final day of DragonCon. I did not have much work to do so I was able to spend some time exploring the con rooms. Overall I was kind of disapointed. There was not much going on. I guess panels and side events are what make Dragon special...

After the con, Froggy took is all out to dinner. The Sushi was very good. Afterwords we went to the bar in the Hyatt and bs'ed until the bar closed. Heard an interesting story about the hottie from yesterday.

Had an other interesting cab ride back to the hotel. Turns out our cabby was drunk off his ass and weaving all over the road but I failed to notice since I was behind the driver and talking with th girls... Afterward they told me and I kind of freaked out. I so wish that I had known so that I could have gotten the cab number. I hope he did not hurt anyone.

Go Go Gadget Condom Part Duex

Aparently I accidentally hit send when I was trying to answer the phone...

Stories in correct order of occurance but in reverse of the tease...

My first failed hookup came early in the day and was totally planned on my part. A very pretty asian girl has a very strong crush on me. Surprisingly I actually noticed but then it was quite apparent when she was letting people go before her so that she could have me sell her one of her many photo ops. The nail that complete ruined any chance of her scoring my digits was when she was hanging out talking to me when it was slow, I asked if she had stayed up late drinking the night before and she said she was not 21 yet In other words she was not even born we I graduated High School.

My second failed hookup was totally my fault but mainly because I am as dense as a black hole. I have spent the last three days interacting with a lot of really nice people that are huge fans of the celebrities we are photographing. One of Marsters fans really stood out for me because she was incredible hot. Well this evening she stopped by to pick up her picture from the day and she stopped and chatted. It turns out the she is an actress that has been in all of the Law and Orders, Boston Leagle, and couple of shows and some movies that have not been released yet. In our conversation she mentioned that she has no plans for the evening and that she is here alone. It was not until it was pointed out later by the person that was at the sales table with me that I came to realize that she was totally tring to get me to take her out to dinner. Afterwards I also find out that she had apparently been asking one of the women that was helping at the sales table about me... As Q would say "Still single."

Despite that setback today was a pretty good day. Almost great if it was not for the Cluster becoming a Cluster! when on of the printers broke leaving me to explaing to a bunch of disapointed fans why there photos were not ready.

I did sleep in when I discovered that unles you set it correctly it only makes the alarm sound once...

Got to spend a half an hour wandering the floor and had some awesome teriyaki...

Went to the Harry Potter theamed Yule Ball and once again regretted that I had not charged my camera battery...

Wandered around and explored the night events...

Got a cab that broke down on the highway and spent a very enjoyable hour talking politics with my black, female, republican taxi driver. Not that I want to label her or anything. It was really interesting to here about the election from her point of view...

Go Go Gadget Condom

Is something I might have said if I was not so dense or had lower morals.

Stupid camera or stupid Paul

I forgot to charge the battery of my camera so I am stuck with my crappy cell phone camera to document the freakiness of this place. I have seen some great costumes.

Crappy day working at the cluster. Don't really feel like airing my shit to the world.

Read some more Fantastic Four War Zone hope to finish tonight.

Protecting Atlanta

Busy day...

Aparently my snoring drove out my roommates... Did not find out about this until later, I kind of blame them for heating the room to 80 after I went to bed but they need to grow up.

Got to the con at about 9 and worked my tail off selling shit all day.

Tried to call it an early night but was thwarted by the indesesion of others for 2 plus hours.

Listened to Empire and read some more War Zone. Played some FFTA2 while waiting for the ride to show.

Tomorrow should be busy but I have time to see some of the con on saturday.

Setup for DragonCon

Got up and walked around crappy hotel.

Went to con hotel and helped setup. Made some posters and handed out flyers.

Went to Hooters with the crew. Cajan Spice Wings are freakin' awesome. It makes me sad that Lynnwood Hooters closed.

Read some more Fantastic Four War Zone. Forgot to mention that I started listening to Empire by Orson Scott Card. Still listening today.

Played some FFTA2.

Thing I noticed today. People that can drink today were not alive when I graduated High School...
