Dragon con is about 6 conventions that all happen in the same place at the same time. It’s HUGE, no bigger than that. Which ever sub group you’re in, gaming, SF, fantasy, horror, movies or books, there’s plenty for you to do. Of course the real freak community subsection of fen (like say the furies) also tend to be very well “represented”. Before the recent rise of San Diego ComicCon Dragon was the big fish in the ocean, it’s lost a bit of luster but it’s still freaking huge. I’d probably train the kids up with some smaller local action, nobody that hasn’t spent time in the fen community is emotionally prepared for 40,000 freaks spread over 5 hotels, not the 13 year old and probably not even you.

I plan on getting prepared. I am up to a three second view time on this image before tossing my peas.
That should have it covered on the Horror front.
Will work on this for fantasy ;)
Fair and Balanced, y'know ;)
