Paul Previews Dragon Con
Dragon Con fun takes over downtown Atlanta
It's beginning to look like a sci-fi movie in downtown Atlanta and tens of thousands of fans are geeking out about their favorite TV shows, movies, comics and games.
What happens when you invite 75,000 science fiction and fantasy fans to downtown Atlanta for Labor Day weekend? You get Dragon Con — the massive, and we do mean massive, fan convention that transforms five major hotels (Hyatt Regency Atlanta, Marriott Marquis, Hilton Atlanta, Westin Peachtree Plaza, and Courtland Grand Hotel) into a pop-culture playground through Monday.
Cosplayers, gamers, writers, and performers from around the world converge for the annual event, first launched in 1987. Attendees can either soak up the sights or map out a full weekend with fan-created "tracks" — themed schedules of panels, workshops, and events ranging from animation and puppetry to horror, gaming, and, of course, blockbuster universes like Star Wars and Star Trek.
