#DragonCon2025

So volunteers get access to a couple hidey-holes on the convention grounds, and I’m just so tired today that, after the 10 o’clock Muppet Mayhem panel, I’ve been hanging out in one of them reading a book. Almost finished!
A chair. Placed in the chair is a thigh rig bag and a copy of System Collapse by Martha Wells. A backpack, heavy with enamel pins, sits half open on the ground.

Behind the scenes at #DragonCon2025. Vendor LILO, running the cargo elevator to the sounds of James Taylor.

Got woken up at 4:30 this morning and had nothing better to do besides wait out a tornado.
A screenshot of some text. “Hi, this is Anthony Gilberti of Peachtree City, GA, zip code 30269, currently calling you from inside my scenic bathroom. It’s a small, windowless room in my 3rd floor apartment, and is probably the safest one available to me during a tornado warning, like the one Peachtree City’s currently under. This warning, this attempt to keep me safe, was issued by the NOAA, one of the many government agencies that Trump and Musk are trying to gut. If the (Representative/Senator) was looking for what direct impacts cutting funding for government agencies could have, well, I can definitely think of one right about now. “Thank you for listening to my concerns.”

Huh. May have spoken too soon.
A snowy day in Peachtree City, GA.

Love this kind of weather, actually. Too bad it most likely won’t stick around.

Joined just after a million, for what it's worth.

About 1/10th of the line of people trying to get into the vendor’s area. #dragoncon
A parking and service area under America’s Mart 2 in Atlanta, with a queue of people waiting to get inside the building. This is just part of a line that is currently encircling the block.

Well, that took a lot less time than I was expecting. #dragoncon

Ah, the great, time-honored #dragoncon tradition of waiting in line for a thing. In this case, my badge.

I've got a backpack I wear for DragonCon. It's covered in enamel pins. By this point, it's probably a bad idea for me to walk next to any deep water while wearing it, and @glitchprod.bsky.social's not helping in that regard! 😆
