@dragoncon-hub
Hey guys! Sorry I've been so quiet. I'm still working on the new chin piece for Ronin, but hey, I'll be guesting at @dragoncon-hub this year! Here is my schedule for Dragoncon, and I hope to see you guys at my panels!
Sounds like great panels! Just to let you know though, Iâm just a fan page for the con, NOT the official event. I donât believe they have an active page here. Regardless, enjoy your con and I hope your panels go super well! đđ
Well, thatâs a wrap everybody! I hope you all had another amazing year at Dragon Con. Safe travels everyone! In the next few days Iâll be rounding up photos and posts from attendees, so if you have any photos or stories to share, send them my way and theyâll be featured here. Iâd love to see what youâve got!
Itâs Saturday! My personal favorite day of con. Thereâs just so much to do! Have fun out there today everybody!
Itâs Friday! Remember to pace yourself everybody, youâve still got 3 days to go! That said I hope everyoneâs having a fantastic time. If you have anything you want to share from today, let me know!
Happy Thursday everyone! Seen anything cool today? Iâd love to see your pictures and hear about your day!
Itâs the final night before the con officially begins! I hope everyone in attendance has a wonderful con. Iâm currently stuck in Rhode Island so I wonât be attending (this is the 3rd year Iâve ever missed đ˘) so feel free to come by and fill me in about how itâs going! Stay safe and have a good time everybody!
And remember your 3-2-1 daily minimums: 3 hours of sleep, 2 meals, 1 shower. Every day of con. You can do more, but give yourself at least this much self care per day.
I second all of that advice! Itâs easy to get wrapped up in everything and forget, but taking care of your body is the most important thing. You only get one of those you know!

The app is fully updated and live! Itâs go time people!
The app is live! Sort of! Only if youâre really interested in hearing about Norwegian moose! In related news, I look forward to meeting Gilliam Terry this year. All 11 of him.
I, for one, would LOVE to meet Gilliam, Terry. :)
I mean yeah, same! I just find it amusing they swapped the order of his first and last name haha. They are quick to note that heâs not actually coming this year though đ

Thanks to Wayne Bates on Facebook for this awesome resource! If you need a guide on navigating Dragon Con, look no further. I always forget how separate from everything else the Sheraton is!
This is a great resource, but there's a few details missing that I would have liked to see included.
The first is the habitrail (skybridge) that connects the Courtland St. parking garage (between the Sheraton and the Hilton) to the Peachtree Center food court. The downside is that unlike the other Habitrails, this one has no air conditioning. However, it's usually much less crowded, making it one of the quickest ways to get from the east side of the con to the west or vice versa.
This is that habitrail, Saturday afternoon in 2019. The photo is kind of a cheat as it wasn't completely deserted like this, in the other direction there were about 6 people, but still, for the busiest day and time of the con that's spectacularly unpopulated, and so a great way to bypass crowds.
The other thing I think belongs on a map like this is the SunTrust Plaza Food Court, aka the âSecretâ Food Court. At one time, only a Friday thing, in recent years they've taken to staying open all con.
It's another habitrail, this one sort of a right turn on the way to the bridge when you're going from the Marriott to the Hyatt.
Yep, these are great additions too! Thanks for mentioning them!

I guess with the con coming up itâs time for my yearly post about this. Hi all! Iâm Kat, and I have attended Dragon Con for my entire life. Seriously, Iâve only missed two years! I created this blog to help hype up the event and to answer any questions you may have about the event. I canât promise I know everything, but Iâm more than happy to help where I can! Letâs all get ready for another awesome year at this awesome con đ
Only 31 days until Dragon Con 2022! Can you believe itâs so close? I canât! What is everyone looking forward to the most this year?
DragonCon Gothic: 2021
(Sequel to this.)
-Loki is everywhere.
-You keep saying âlast yearâ but you mean the 2019 con. Everyone understands. Everyone else is doing it too.
-Scooters clog the sidewalks. You hate them. You are tempted by them.
-A ducky squeaks nearby.
-Most people are in masks, some begrudgingly, some casuallyâsome have incorporated masks into their cosplay so beautifully the costume is incomplete without it.
-A battalion of stormtroopers pass. You wonder if their helmets are CDC approved face coverings. You imagine wearing a mask under a helmet. Youâre glad youâre not a stormtrooper.
-You ask a question at a panel. The panelist looks you in the eye and says, âNo, you should just kill people.â You canât help but agree. This is a writing panel.
-You can tell exactly who spent all quarantine working on their cosplay. You know they still finished it last night.
-You are in a panel. The person in front of you is dressed all in the Marriott Carpet, from facemask to shoes. You cannot remember how long itâs been since the Marriott had that carpetâyou know many con goers now have never walked upon it. You cannot remember what the carpet looks like now. You are in the Marriott. You look down at the floor. You look up again as the panelist speaks. You have already forgotten what the carpet looks like now.
-There is a family of Marriott carpet dinosaurs. The dinosaurs are in cosplay.
-You are waiting for MARTA. You are not at Peachtree Center. You are in full cosplay. Down the platform is a girl with pink hair. And a sword. You catch her eye, she nods. You nod back.
-You are waiting for a panel. Nearby, a track leader is arguing with another member of staff. Rooms are down to 2/3 capacity. According to the hotel, the room your panel is in holds 300. Itâs set up to hold 82. The track leader keeps insisting that 2/3 of 300 is not 82.
-You have seen 5 shirtless male cosplayers within 3 minutes. Only 2 are characters who donât usually wear shirts. Maybe itâs just summer in the South and the cosplayers have gotten smarter, or maybe the men really have gotten sluttier over quarantine.
-A mother is dressed as Misty from PokĂŠmon, her baby is togapi strapped to her chest. Ash follows behind them with a diaper bag.
-A father is Din Djarin, the Mandalorian, his baby is Grogu strapped to his chest. Cara Dune follows behind them with a diaper bag.
-Apparently, everyone dyed their hair blue over quarantine.
-You have never seen so many men in the Starfleet minidresses. They really did get sluttier over quarantine. Youâre happy for them.
-A woman in an extravagant ballgown walks into the bathroom with three other people. They are there to hold her skirts.
-You are at an audience participation panel. The moderator calls on Loki. The eight Lokis in the room all look at each other before asking for clarification.
-Harley Quinn rides by on a scooter.
-Walking through the food court is Weirdâ˘ď¸.
-There are several plague doctors on the train. Two are in bird-nosed masks and hoods. They are going to the con. The rest are in scrubs and N95s. They are going to work.
-Every panel starts with âwelcome back.â
-Itâs been two years. Youâve forgotten your hard learned lessons. You wear the cool looking shoes. You relearn your lesson.
-Spider-Manâs suit rips. He summons a Cosplay Medic armed with needle, thread, duct tape, and battery powered Ryobi hot glue gun. Four more people with cosplay problems descend on the Medic. He fixes everything, using materials in ways they are not intended to be used.
-A man in a brown trenchcoat and Converse approaches a man in a red cape and blue scrubs in a skybridge. âDoctor,â the man in the cape says, nodding. âDoctor,â the man in the trenchcoat says.
-The shawarma place is covered in Avengers memes, as it should be.
-Someone is dressed as the Evergiven. They are blocking the skybridge. Youâre not even mad.
-At least a dozen Harley Quinns pass by in ten minutes. Theyâre all going the same direction. You wander what the group noun for Harleys is.
-The group noun for Lokis is a mischief.
-There is no wait to get into the dealers room. Itâs Weirdâ˘ď¸.
-A small child cries, overwhelmed in dealers. The child canât be much more than a year old. Theyâve probably never seen this many people in their life, of course theyâre overwhelmed. You havenât seen this many people in what feels like a lifetime. You are overwhelmed. You buy a plushy.
-Two Lokis pass on the street. âHi, me!â greets one. âVariant,â the other says with disdain, then smiles.
-The Hard Rock is by reservation only.
-You see an amazing cosplay. You desperately want to compliment it. You cannot remember the name of the character. The cosplayer walks away before you can call it to mind. You walk the opposite direction. You remember the name.
-The moderator attempts to begin the panelâthere is immediate squealing feedback. Everyone cringes so hard you can see it through the masks.
-There is someone in a sportsball jersey and a Joker mask.
-You do not have the Con Crud. Through learning to guard against COVID, you have learned to defeat the Crud. Your cosplays will include masks from now on.
-Monday, in some ways the con begins to die down, in other ways it goes on. Feathers, badge ribbons, and a surgical mask tumble down the street. Life goes back toâŚ.whatever passes for normal these days.
-You are so glad to have been back.
Thatâs a wrap everyone! I hope you all had an incredible time at Dragoncon 2021. I know I did! Until next year, dearest friends. Much love to you all đ
Wow, the reg line is nuts tonight. Godspeed to everyone stuck in it right now! Iâm right there alongside you. Speaking of which, if you see a ginger in a glowing skirt, feel free to say hello!
