Had a great time at Dragon*Con this year. Although we didn’t stay down there this year and expe­ri­ence our usual 3 days, we had a blast. While I wanted to see the vis­it­ing Whe­do­n­verse folks, we made this year’s trip short and sweet. We went down on Sun­day and spent the day sift­ing through the dealer rooms for good­ies. I found some old Uni­ver­sal Mon­ster movie posters and my son snatched up some Liv­ing Dead Dolls. Waaaay cool.

When we reg­is­tered, we chose how our names would read on our badges. We went with a Stephen King motif. My son’s read “It the Clown” and mine read “Beep-Beep Ritchie”. Both are from King’s “It”.

We did man­age to visit the Brown­coats, which is a tra­di­tion for us each year. My son has got­ten to “that age” where he doesn’t want me snap­ping pic­tures of him every few min­utes. I did man­age to get his pic with the Joker and Harley! After all, who could say “no” to good ol’ Mr. J? I also got his pic with a few char­ac­ters from the Rocky Hor­ror Pic­ture Show. We had a great time, as usual, and are already plan­ning to be there for the whole week­end again next year.
