DragonCon – Day 3: Jedi, Tolkien, and Tor
Sunday began with Saber School for younglings, just like last year. On the trek between hotels to find the tower that is part of a hotel but actually a different building – the source of much confusion, of course – where the New York Jedi were holding lessons, we passed Dean Motter, illustrator of The [...]
DragonCon 2010 – Day 2 and World of Warcraft

A 2007 Draconian Experience By: Sandy Lender From the Great Flying Spaghetti Monster to Cookie Monster, from Peter S. Beagle (The Last Unicorn) to Margaret Weis (DragonLance), from Douglas Arnold (BSG) to Michael Shanks (SG-1), from shamefully vacant author readings to standing room only celebrity panels, from both impromptu and incredibly organized all-night gaming sessions [...]
