Dragon*Con

Another good place to watch for updates is here:
http://dailydragon.dragoncon.org/

It's a blog of various updates to the convention. As it gets closer, there will be updates every single day (hence its name). Though, at the moment, it looks like there's barely a trickle.

Not to derail the thread, but is there any sort of skeptic thing going on at Gen Con Indy next month?

I don't know for certain. But, I doubt it. It's more of a specialized convention (gaming). Whereas Dragon*Con is much more generalized.
 
Yeah, I did a quick Google search, and it looked like there was a skeptic track over the last couple of years but nothing this year.
 
They also added Neal Adams. I already confronted him, once, about his "Growing Earth theory". (I asked him to give us a prediction from his "theory", he gave me a rasberry sound effect.) I am wondering what I should do for a sequel. (aside from filming it, this time.)

Derek and I have entered the entire Skeptrack schedule into Lanyrd here. You can find the Twitter handles of all the speakers, other people who are going, and so on. There's a mobile version of the website and a smartphone app you can download, and you can sync it into your calendar.

Dragon*Con as a whole has their schedule in their own Smartphone app as well, but we wanted to have a nice focused place for just the skeptic stuff. As blogs, videos and so on are posted I'll link to those in Lanyrd as "coverage".

where did you find the schedule to enter? I can't make any schedule come up just on my computer. This is the first I've seen it - links don't work from the DC site

I started with the schedule that is in the official Dragon*Con smartphone app, then I got Derek onboard and he entered the latest changes.
 
Since there doesn't seem to be any great demand for avatar badges, I might just skip them, entirely, this year. :( If you REALLY want me to make one, let me know, though. I might make a small one for myself.

I've met sooo many celebs at previous Dragon*Cons, I feel like I barely need to do so this year. But, there are a few on my list:

Ellen McLain (the voice of GLaDOS!! :eek: )
Adam Baldwin (Jayne from Firefly. For some reason, I never met him, yet.)
Gillian Anderson (X-Files, duh! Yes, she re-confirmed her appearance.)

Maybe Adam West and Burt Ward, if the line for them isn't too long.
 
I'm going to my FIRST Dragon*Con. Mark Edward has something like 5 appearances in the Skept Track. Super excited.

Can someone add me to the list!
 
I'm not all that active on the forums here (moreso in skepticsrock irc channel), but in any event, I'll be at the Star Party and DragonCon. I went last year and had a great time, but didn't actually spend all that much time in the Skeptics Track. I'm planning on being in there more this year, I think.

FWIW: I've just been told that in addition to one panel I am on, I will be speaking at 1pm on Monday at Dragon*Con Skeptrack.

See you there!
