At Dragon Con a few weeks ago, I was delighted to catch up with voice actor John DiMaggio (a.k.a. Bender from Futurama) once again. John was at the con for several voice actor and Futurama panels, and also to continue spreading the word about his new voice actor documentary, I Know That Voice, which I…
As I’ve mentioned before, I’m a big fan of The Dresden Files, so it was awesome to get to sit down and chat with author Jim Butcher about the series while at Dragon Con last weekend! The Dresden Files, as you may know, is a series about the wizard Harry Dresden, and follows his adventures…
By the time you read this, I’ll be winging my way out of Atlanta and back home; but as I write, I am still in the thick of the exciting events of Dragon Con! I’ve had some great fun this weekend, and it’s not even over yet! So, what the heck have I done this…
It seems like just yesterday I was getting back from San Diego Comic-Con…and now in less than two weeks, heeeeere comes Dragon Con! Another adventure! Believe it or not, I still have some things to report from SDCC (yeah, I got a little behind, oops), but even though I’m still catching up from the last…
1. It would be carry more weight if the Dragon Con Director of Media Relations would not use the asterisk in his job title. 2.They’d get more search engine optimization if they got rid of the space too. As Patrick Nielsen Hayden pointed out, this is a great way to show that Dragon Con no…

(Dragon Con) in a cash-out merger. Led by…
One great thing about Dragon*Con is that sometimes it inspires me to check out new shows or genre fiction, and sometimes it inspires me to re-visit a past favorite. After this year’s Battlestar Galactica panel I had a super-cravi ng to go back and watch the show again; thanks to Netflix I’ve been re-living the…
Last week, I wrote about the awesome folks of Warehouse 13, whom I was lucky enough to meet after attending their panel at Dragon*Con. But they weren’t the only fantastic people at the con, oh no. In fact, Dragon*Con is always so packed with amazing guests that I never get to see or meet all…
If you follow my columns on ComicMix at all, you know that I’ve posted about attitudes towards women at cons a few times, and that I tend to get a bit, shall we say, heated about some of the gender and entitlement issues I’ve encountered in the context of cons and fandom. When I sent…

Chicon 7 and DragonCon attendees will be able to sample the flavor of each other’s events through a series of program…
Dragon*Con is right around the corner, and if youâre going and you like to costume at cons, that means youâre probably scrambling to finish up your costume(s). Well, okay, thatâs true if youâre me, at least. See, Iâd like to plan really far ahead, but Life just doesnât make that possible sometimes, which is how…
