Sunday at Dragon*Con really threw me off, being used to a 3 day convention, having a solid second day of con threw me off.

The Marriott is over 40 stories tall, and immediately triggers my brain’s “AHHH I’M REALLY HIGH UP AHHHH!!!” sensations.  Its also structured in such a way to really feel like you’ve been eaten by some sort of large animal..

A friendly and creative homeless man was trying to sell flowers to girls for a dollar a flower, or three for five.. (flowers he probably picked up from a random shrubbery..)  I actually gave him a dollar for one, because he was persistent, and fairly friendly in how he tried..

Sunday night brings out all of the casual (and not so casual) costumes.

This young man really worked his lightsaber in the open areas at the Marriott.

I didn’t shoot too much, since I had my lightweight rig and there were plenty of people out there taking photos already.

The con itself?  I’ll post some more photos later, but it was fun.  Hanging out with everyone was good, though I very much find myself wondering if the cost of attending the convention is worth it.  I think if I *were* to go back, it’d have to be because the right batch of people were going.  I’d like to see some places in Atlanta, didn’t have the opportunity to do so this time around.  Also really *don’t* know how to NOT be staff..

Anyhow, decent weekend.  Sleep time tho.  Very very tired, as usual.  *faint*
