Alex on the Road, Atlanta Edition

Oh yes, it's dragon*con time again!

First costumes of the con - the Hilton paid these actors to kick off the weekend. They had a Toto dog and piped in instrumental version of somewhere over the rainbow.

We registered on-site for the first time ever in order to avoid the badge pick up line that pre-registered attendees have to stand in. This was our line - took us 15 minutes start to finish

This was the pre-reg line. 2 hours and 15 minutes to get through.

Friday is supposed to be the "light day" but it's already crazy crowded.

Costumes can be lovely.

Or completely disgusting.

Dinner Wednesday at Woodfire grill was sublime. There's a reason Chef Kevin Gillespie was Top Chef Season 6 runner up. It counts as one of the best meals I've ever eaten.

Best item of the meal - pork belly appetizer.
Have a great weekend!
