Ahh, Dragon-Con; that enormous gathering where we can all just let our hair down and take off our clothes. Er, I mean, that is, SOME people take off their clothes. But not us. We'd never do that. Anyways, here's a list of what we thought were the best and worst of the convention, and these are only our own opinions so feel free to disagree!! Best food - Gibney's Pub inside the Peachtree Station Mall...
Costume you'll never forget - Tiger in a loincloth
Best vintage costume - V Best group costume - The Chudley Cannons (Harry Potter) Weirdest costume - Nice Package (you might be glad we don't have a pic!) Best cheap costume - Big Nosed Pinocchio with an "I'm NOT looking at your breasts" t-shirt Best "COOL" costumes - original Steampunks and Dr Who Dalek Friendliest celebrities - Lani John Tupu (Farscape), Richard Hatch (Battlestar Galactica ), Barbara Luna (Star Trek, Buck Rogers ), Paul McGillion (Stargate: Atlantis), Richard Hatch (original Battlestar Galactica), Fat Momma, Major Victory, and Feedback (Who Wants To Be a Superhero?) In all fairness, nearly ALL of the celebrities were fantastically nice and friendly; these are just our picks for the nicest!! Best panel host - Kevin Sorbo (Hercules, Andromeda) Best book people - TOR!!! They even brought a HUGE box of assorted freebies for the Tor Panel attendees, plus they promised to keep coming to Dragon-Con with more and bigger stuff each year! YAY!! Best food - Gibney's Pub (so good they've made the list twice!!) Rudest people - parents who refuse to take screaming toddlers OUT of organized panels & events!! I spent a small fortune to come down here, and it's not like there's a pause button. Could you not just hire a babysitter for the afternoon?? Rudest celebrity - in the interest of not running off future interviews, we'll leave this one blank for now, but yes there are some candidates!! Rudest celebrity agent - see above!! (wink wink!) Worst parenting - dressing your knee-high little daughter in sexy harem-girl style attire. Seen numerous times and definitley NOT COOL!! Weirdest moment - seeing the well-dressed homeless guy asleep on a pair of Nike's nicer than my own shoes!! Most popular costumes - Pirates, Princess Leia, The 300, assorted Harry Potter characters Costumes we wanted to see but didn't - Farscape characters, Andromeda characters, Wraith, Ori Best hotel if you'd rather leave the party behind at night - The Georgian Terrace
