Sci-Fi Conventions come in many sizes and flavors. It is unfair to pit the small against the massive commercial ones so this will be broken down into the five best mega cons and the five best small cons.

This year I went with Buzzy Multimedia to document their adventures at the con and give a “behind the table” perspective. I will try to do justice to their journey, but there are so many little things that happened along the way that there will be a few things left out. Although no one incident will give you a sense of things, collectively, they are necessary to piece together the entirety that is “the con.” (Pictured here is the actual assembled and fully stocked Buzzy booth. “Helper” Ted - a quick witted, boundless supply of energy that was no end of help to us behind the table.)
If you have never been to DragonCon you must go, now, this very year. Beg or borrow the necessary funds but please find yourself there Labor Day weekend for never before has such a celebrity line up been gathered together. This is the con where between 30 and 50 THOUSAND people will attend, it will have hundreds of guests, a dealer’s room the size of a regulation Little League base ball field, another hall dedicated to nothing but celebrities ready to sign autographs for their adoring fans and yet a third hall filled with row after row of art work hung upon walls arranged in a maze like pattern to ensure that you see every selection at least once. Short of your own personal demise there is no reason you should not go to the con this year.
