"I stab you because I care" (and other snippets overheard at DragonCon)

Have you heard of DragonCon? I hadn't before recently. It's a Science Fiction convention in Atlanta that attracts around 30-40,000 people annually; people dress up in bizarre and interesting outfits and attend panels and film showings. I went with a huge group of like 30 people; here are some shots from that long Labor Day weekend:

Overheard at Dragoncon:

(Overheard at a steak house)
"I'm sorry, we are out of steak."
"Why do you hate my freedom?"

"Dude, the term 'laundering money' is
just supposed to be an expression."

"This elevator can hold ten people... or three Americans."

"I haven't spoken to you ALL DAY and the first thing you say to me is 'Angela's [unmentionable]'???"

"I stab you because I care."

"I woke up in a robocop outfit with two hot chicks next to me. But it wasn't MY robocop outfit. And the chicks said they couldn't figure out how to take it off! So yeah, nothing happened."

"I thought there might be a corset in my future until I realized they cost more than my plane ticket."

"I do believe that is a used condom. Well, at least if someone had to have sex in the hallway, it was safe."

"Ok, so, an Irishman walks out of a bar...
(loooooong pause)
...and so that's the joke... The Irishman doesn't actually ever leave the bar..."

You - WOW blond wizard. Me - ancient wizard. You were pressing awfully hard into me during our photo. Just wondering if there was a lingering interest. Put your robe color in Subject Line of first email.

I can't figure out why I left without getting your contact information. I know your name is Dan, and you make leather jackets. You were the best Wolverine I've ever seen. We talked for a while, just standing in the crowd. I wish I could find a picture of us. Hopefully, I'll see you at another convention soon. :)

Alien vs Predator Interstellar Swinger Party (Dragon Con - Sheraton). Full Alien or Predator costume required. All single women and couples will be accepted. There will be limited spots for single men. I will send out the time and room number to all who qualify.

Tomorrow I'll dig up some of the really neat short films I saw.
