Freaks Have More Fun
Plans for this Labor Day weekend may actually be confusing for some Atlanteans this year with so much going on around town. But if you ask me, the place to be is Dragon Con, the biggest freak fest anyone could ever dream of. Itís the one place that Trekkies and Storm Troopers can convene in harmony, along with hobbits and elves.
On Saturday morning at 10AM, forget about breakfast and get over to the Atlanta Mariott Marquis for the Dragon Con parade. Yes ñ this is your one chance to see Storm Troopers marching down Peachtree St.! Then you can head back over to the hotel to hang out with ìBuffy the Vampire Slayerî creator Joss Whedon or the cast of ìSerenity.î Although heading to this convention will set you back up to 85 bucks, I think itís worth it to see all the sprites, dwarves, aliens and space warriors. Besides, you might land a chance to be in a Dragon Con commercial!
I feel the need to point out that (a) hanging out at the Hyatt Regency/Marriott Marquis/Peachtree Center and having lots of fun at D*C attendees’ expense is free; (b) this is all very accessible from MARTA (Peachtree Center station).
