Registration - Only 2hrs!

Registration at Dragon*Con was supposed to open a 2:00pm, but since they had so many people in the morning they opened early. Or, at least that is what I heard.

My hotel's shuttle took me and two other conventioneers directly to the registration site. Smart guy took us to the back of the line. I got there at 12:30-1:00 and the line was half way around the block. A good 400 people. Surprisingly the line moved quickly. I took us about 2 hours to register, about half the time it took last year (According to George, who with his daughter & her boyfriend, had gone the last couple of years).

There were two women from my hotel in line with me. Beth from New York, who didn't talk much. And Kathy from Minnesota. Kathy is published author and Hugo award winner (best magazine short, I think). You can find her page here.

After a $12.00 off the clock cab ride back to the hotel and a quick post, I'm off to the Braves game.

PS - I have photo's of the registration, but I don't have time to post them.

Here are the some photo from Registration:

The Crowd

You can't really see it, but those girls got so board that they began to play with this guys pony tail.
