I Was A Fanboy Sex-Slave & Other True Shock Stories: Two Days to Dragon*Con

[jack_babalon]

From across the nefarious underbelly of the Bible Belt they came! Descending upon a sleepy little town called Atlanta to engage in a four day geek orgy of sin known as... Dragon*Con: The RPG Junkies rattling their D20's in a desperate bid to score their next fix of 'Saving Throw'. Sith Swingers eyeballing unsuspecting young Jedi's in the lobby like pimps at a Grey Hound Station. Comic Book ghouls hissing and haggling over mylared kitsch and reeking of moldy pages. Roaming wolf packs of Klingon bikers sniffing the air for a whiff of fist fight. Poorly aged B List actors, with their tanned skull faces smiling mechanically, scribble their name across 8 by 11's for 20 bucks a pop. Shadow Children gather like gargoyles over the hotel balcony, chain smoking cloves through Kabuki make up and refining the aristocratic art of being perpetually bored. Nostalgia Merchants selling relics of abandoned dreams - mint condition action figures, unopened model kits, replica helmets and limited edition variants. A vampire dominatrix huddles at the bar with a pair of office bureaucrats who get off when they cross dress up as pirates. A Subgenius preacher shouts the gospel of BOB to a mob of bewildered superheroes while a Jesus Christ look-a-like bums a cigarette from a cardboard robot.

Somewhere in all this commotion a young lady smiles at a nervous young man. A few drinks later and they close their eyes for that magical first kiss. She see's him as Spike, Captain Sparrow, Neo and Han Solo all at the same time. He see's her in turn as Buffy, Wonder Woman, Seven of Nine and Princess Leia.

Neither one of them is mistaken.

So if you think all this is 'Revenge of the Nerds Redux' then you're in the wrong movie. The truth is that for four days not only has the circus come to town... it's dropped way too much fun on the tongue and now wants to dress up as Darth Vader and make home made porn!

You are invited!!!

I live here in Atlanta (about a five minute drive from the Regency in fact) though I normally crash in one of the Anime rooms if i've had too much too dream at the con and can't be trusted to stagger home.

It's so unfair that I'm trapped in Baton Rouge. Nobody wants to miss Vader porn!
