So I am hitting Dragoncon this year. Has anyone here gone before? Is it a good place to pick up non-sport stuff. Sadly the Con in Denver rarely ever has any one selling sets or single inserts.

I know there will be at least 2 card dealers setup this year. I went once before and had a great time.

Wee Bee Cards will be there in the downstairs dealers room

Sweet! With all the guests they keep adding it should be a great time!

This will be my third year going. I love this show.

As far as I know Wee Bee Cards, K&J Non Sports, and Junior's Comics and Cards will be there. I've met and done dealings with all three owners of their respective businesses and they are all super nice people. I believe there are other dealers there as well

I won't have my own table but I will be there this year helping out a couple of my dealer pals. I'm looking forward to it. I think.

I was hoping to go to this show. I don't think I can afford it though. I didn't know that there were big name card dealers there. I wonder if there will be a complete list of venders posted.

The complete list of exhibitors/dealers is on the website. http://dragoncon.org/dealers.php
It looks like there will be at least 5 companies set up with non-sport cards.

Only 9 days away now....

I'll attend Friday, and try to remember to take pictures/

Wife and I will be there. Will be in Atlanta Thursday through Tuesday.

Elisha Dushku has been added as a guest!
I'd recommend checking out http://dailydragon.dragoncon.org/ for all the latest info. That's also where you can find the program book/map online.
Looks like I'll be in the Marriott (Marquis Level) ballroom for the weekend. Tables J12-15 for the weekend. I don't think I'll have room to put anything on the table, but I will have some sketch cards (and promos) with me. You'll just have to ask.

I had a GREAT time at DragonCon (and will be posting a full report on the NSU Blog within the next day or two). I picked up a bunch of cards from the 501st and Rebel Legions, saw part of the parade, went to a Warehouse 13 panel, had time to check out the art show/artists alley (and wave hi to Rhiannon Owens), saw TONS of great costumes, survived on less than 4 hours of sleep each day and...had Ashley Eckstein (voice of Ahsoka on Clone Wars) sign my artwork (image below). Ashely's husband David (MLB baseball player) was also there and I had him sign something too). Below are a few photos.

Tom Wright goofing around



Olympic Park (which is just a few blocks away from the convention)




Warehouse 13's Eddie McClintock signing autographs (he designed the t-shirts in the photo and the artwork behind him is also his).

Laura did a great report for the blog, which comes free with a photo gallery. You can find it here:

Dragon Con 2011

Enjoyed the show. Got some promo cards, art, and many autographs.
