The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

Volmae was absolutely amazing. Gothichappiness and I have never been to Dragon*Con before. Volmae has been going every year for the last 7 years. She showed us around the hotels and taught us how to get to the mall and put up with us calling her constantly.



We stayed at Courtyard of Marriott on 175 Piedmont ave N.E. When we got there on Friday they let us change to a smoking room and let us check in early so that was nice. We took a 3 hour nap. We were both exhausted. We walked down to register for the Con. Waited in two lines for many hours with people who do not shower nor wear deodorant. Then we met up with Volmae and her boyfriend and her boyfriends sister. Went to the mall for food. Walked around all over the place taking picture's. Went to the autograph room.



Gothichappiness and I went to see the Buffy Horror Picture Show. It wasn't as cool as I thought it would be but I had fun. Wandered around some more.



Saturday we went to the Con. Took more picture's. A couple of people stopped me and took my picture. I was wearing the purple dragon dress with horns that day. Pretty normal really. GH got a picture of me with the lead singer of The Cruxshadows. One of my favorite bands. GH and I sat in on a robot panel. It was interesting. He stuck around to ask more questions. I moseyed to the dealers room and looked at lots of stuff. Met up with GH. We ate at Hard Rock Cafe with Volmae and her boyfriend and his sister. Saw an acoustic set of Belle Morte and Voltaire. I got a comic book of Voltaire's with his signature. GH and I saw Who's Line is it? That was kind of funny.



Sunday we went to see Frank Fradella do a reading.( me with books ) Bought lots of books and got his signature. It's funny because he lives three blocks away from my parents but apparently I have to go all the way to Atlanta Georgia to see him. :) GH and I ate at Hooters. They had delicious hot wings. Nummy!!! We went to the dealers again. GH bought a lot of games. One about pirates called Plunder. Went out again that night. We went to the drum circle for a little while.



Monday, I had read in the handbook of Marriotts that they serve breakfast on weekends and holidays until noon. I am pretty sure that Monday was a holiday. I went down to get something to eat and the snide lady said "We close at 10am." I explained that I had read in their handbook that on holidays the kitchen was opened until noon. She said "We closed at 10am and WE DO NOT SERVE LUNCH EITHER." She was an ubber bitch from Hell. That got me aggravated.



GH and I went back to the Con. He sat down to play Plunder with the guy who had made the game. I spent lots of money. Bought a pewter dragon. Well it was dragon con after all. Found the Myrrh that has eluded me for the last 5 years. I was so excited that I bought every single bottle they had. Yes, the myrrh will be mine. Muhahahahaa. Anywho, I also got Ted Naifeh signature. *happy dance*



We get hungry so we go back to Hard Rock Cafe. They seat us at the bar where the sun is shining directly in our eyes. We ask for a table to get away from the sunshine. They sit us at a table that the sun is shining in and we still can't see. The waiter brings me unsweetened tea when I had asked twice for sweet tea. GH said that if I wanted the DVD for Dragon*Con that I should leave right then because the Dragon*Con store closes soon. I get up and dash out of the restaurant. Later I found out that the waiter went over to GH and boxed up his food while he was still eating and gave him the check. I guess they thought he might get up and run out too. Don't know but that was kind of rude.



On the airplane ride back they "inspected" my duffel bag. The one I checked in. It came out on the conveyer belt with the zipper totally broken and the entire thing wide open. I have to throw that away and get a new one. Joy.



I was not feeling well the entire time. My stomach is still bothering me. I hope it's better by the time my sister comes down. :( I am sick and tired of feeling sick and tired. *snarl*



I know there are things I am forgetting. Like the Atlanta airport is friggin huge. We were walking to get our luggage and after a good long while we asked an employee where it was at and she pointed saying "15 more minutes that way." Good Lord. Then the voice of Dracula came over the loud speakers. I'm going to have to ask GH what Dracula said because I don't remember. I just remember the walk being very surreal.
