What's your reason for attending Dragon Con?

Just trying to start some activity here! There is so much happening, which are the things that draw you?

  • One of the biggest things that draws me is cosplay. Both seeing amazing things other people have made or showing off all the hard work are very rewarding, and I haven't yet found another con that's as good for either!

    • Same for me. Making the cosplays has become my new not-staring-at-a-screen hobby. And it’s a fantastic bonus at the end to wear it to a party!

      I don’t think I’ve attended a scheduled event (i.e. a panel) in the last 3 DragonCons I’ve been to haha. Just meandering around with a drink looking at all the cosplays and talking to people. And I’ll try to hit up the little costume exhibition room, the blood drive, and the telescopes on the patio.

      • The blood drive is something I make time for each year as well. I haven’t seen the telescopes, I’ll have to keep an eye out this year!

        • Yeah IIRC the telescopes are on the tennis courts of the Hilton. And some very nice scientists standing by to help you understand what you’re looking at. Highly recommend!
