Hello Dragon*Con Fans<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Dragon*Con<\/a><\/p>\n

This was my first year attending Dragon*Con<\/a> and I have to say that I immediately decided I had to go again next year. I arrived in Atlanta on Thursday \"Click<\/a>(without any airplane problems) and was able to pick up my registration after only waiting in line for about an hour and a half (a very<\/em> short time). After that it was just exploring the various hotels and waiting for people to arrive.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Dragon*Con<\/a><\/p>\n

Friday brought about the first official day of Dragon*Con and with it two Stargate<\/a> panels and lots of waiting in line. The first panel I attended was Exploring Other Galaxies with Paul McGillion<\/a> and Martin Gero<\/a>, a great panel with just the two of them.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Martin<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Funny<\/a><\/p>\n

Both were incredibly funny and were very happy to be there; Especially Martin Gero, who was great at answering all the questions thrown at him and Paul. He is quite a funny and easy going guy.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The second Stargate<\/a> panel was aptly named “Back to the Beginning: SG1<\/strong>” with Ben Browder<\/a>, Christopher Judge<\/a>, Martin Gero<\/a>, John de Lancie<\/a> and Corin Nemec<\/a>. This was the only panel that Christopher Judge was a part of and he definitely made his mark. There was a lot of joking and laughter had by all the panel members and the audience.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Corin,<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Corin<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Chris<\/a><\/p>\n

During the down time between panels I did a lot of wandering and people watching. Some of the costumes that people make and wear are absolutely outstanding. I really could not believe the time and effort thousands of people in to their costumes. Here are a few of my favorites:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Gumby and Jabba the Hut<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Gumby<\/a><\/p>\n

It was quite funny watching Jabba run after Gumby so he could get a picture taken with him!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Rita Repulsa and the Green Ranger<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Rita<\/a><\/p>\n

This had me VERY excited! Wonderful Power Ranger costumes!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Men In Tights cast<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Men<\/a><\/p>\n

Great cast photo, especially Blinkin!!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Jurassic Park cast with myself & Pip<\/strong> (dannysgirlsg1<\/a>)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Tara<\/a><\/p>\n

Saturday came with one Stargate panel in the early evening so there was a whole lot of time to get autographs at the Walk of Fame. The Stargate panel was titled “Letters From Pegasus & Beyond<\/strong>” with Michael Shanks,<\/a> Lexa Doig<\/a>, Ben Browder<\/a>, Jason Momoa<\/a>, Paul McGillion<\/a>, Alaina Huffman<\/a> and Martin Gero<\/a>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Michael<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Martin<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Jason<\/a><\/p>\n

The panel was, again, a lot of fun, made all the better with the addition of Lexa Doig, who was not supposed to be at that specific panel.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Saturday evening I attended a special screening of Kevin Sorbo\u2019s<\/a> movie \u201cWhat If\u201d. The movie was absolutely brilliant and Kevin was amazing. If you get the opportunity to see this movie, I highly recommend it. It is currently showing in several cities and you can request a showing at The What If Movie<\/a> . After the showing all the attendees were able to have their photo taken with Kevin and get his autograph. All in all, it was a wonderful experience.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Kevin<\/a><\/p>\n

Sunday morning I attended my first non-Stargate panel, Andromeda<\/a>, with Kevin Sorbo<\/a> and Lexa Doig<\/a>. The panel was a lot of fun and it was great to see Kevin and Lexa together again and hear some of the behind the scenes stories and what they\u2019re currently working on.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Lovely<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Kevin<\/a><\/p>\n

A few hours after the Andromeda panel was another Stargate<\/a> panel, “A Three Gate Circus<\/strong>“, with Michael Shanks<\/a>, Lexa Doig<\/a>, Jason Momoa<\/a>, Jewel Staite<\/a>, Paul McGillion<\/a>, Alaina Huffman<\/a> and Martin Gero<\/a>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Jewel,<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Paul<\/a><\/p>\n

Monday brought the last Stargate<\/a> panel of the Dragon*Con, Multiverses, with Ben Browder<\/a>, Paul McGillion<\/a>, Jason Momoa<\/a>, Jewel Staite<\/a> and Martin Gero<\/a>. The panel was at 10 AM, so needless to say everyone in the room, from the actors to the audience, were a bit tired. It was a wonderful way to end the weekend with a wonderful panel which included some quoting from Ben about Farscape and Jewel discussing her time with Firefly.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Martin,<\/a><\/p>\n

My first experience with Dragon*Con<\/a> was an overwhelmingly positive one. The hotels were great, as were all the people and guests. It was a lot of fun attending the panels and meeting people I\u2019d only ever talked to online, as well as, people I\u2019d never met before. It truly is amazing how \"WormholeRiders.<\/a>conventions bring people together. It was also wonderful to meet the guests in the hallways or elevators and have them genuinely pleased to meet you. This wa<\/span><\/span>s absolutely wonderful and I will definitely be going back next year.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
