[QUOTE="Clueless, post: 4010490, member: 11802"] Agreed - Gencon is all about the gaming, DragonCon is all about the socializing. It is a more grown-ups con, but in that "weird side of the family that still loves you" kind of way. Smaller, and warmer in feel. Which is to say - if you get in trouble, don't be surprised if a klingon and a stormtrooper wearing a browncoat pop up to a) help you, and b) turn out to be registered EMS. The LARPs at DragonCon tend to be really fascinatingly fun. And by fun I mean - the year I got to play one, we had GWAR show *up* in the Star Wars LARP in costume and the Empire ceded the sector. There's a number of excellent artists who just get punch drunk silly the longer the con runs. Wear a kilt - I guarantee you'll meet one of them... Hang out in the lounge late night, chances are decent you'll get closeup time with con guests. There's also some pretty nice LAN games running as well usually. [/QUOTE]
