#DragonCon2017 Recap and Photos

dragon con dragoncon2017

Dragon Con was once again a wonderful whirlwind of panels and signings.  I had a great time with fans and friends both old and new.

As a guest, I rarely get to attend panels, but I did find time to see the cast of Battlestar Galactica and the cast of Wynonna Earp.

Even if you're not a Battlestar Galactica fan, you may recognize actors and actresses from other favorites such as The Magicians, Longmire, and Lucifer.

#Earpers





I even caught photos of Doc (Tim Rozon) and Bobo (Michael Eklund) hugging after their infamous kiss (video of the Doc/Bob kiss here!).


I also had the pleasure of attending a panel on Dracula's influence on horror (with Dacre Stoker, Kenneth Hite, Cherie Priest, and Chelsea Quinn Yarbro), a talk with Jonathan Maberry, and I caught a few minutes of an Urban Fantasy panel (with Laurel K. Hamilton, Patricia Briggs, Kim Harrison, Sherrilyn Kenyon, and Jim Butcher).


I would have attended more panels, but, as you can see, I had a busy schedule.

  3. Do not let video games you are never going to play again pile up. Get something back for them towards your next game. Either trade them it at your nearest video game store or sell them at a used cd/movie store. You can also list them online through an auction or classified listing. https://hackeroffice.com/

  4. Be aware of how multiplayer works. If you are buying a game solely for its multiplayer, make sure you have everything you need for it. If you plan on playing against someone in your household, you may find that you will need two copies of the game to play against each other.

  5. I'm someone who has lived a life seemingly in the background, I must say this final indignity I have suffered almost too much to endure. You see, I have been sickly and weak since the day I was born and doomed to go through all my life a weakling. I seemed to have always suffered from one illness or another and could never play with the other children as I so desperately wanted to. Mother always made such a big fuss over me, also, making the situation worse as the other boys teased me mercilessly after they saw it. I was browsing the internet searching on how i could be transformed into a powerful when i came across the email of a man named Lord Mark. who was a VAMPIRE so I told him that I has always dreamed of becoming a VAMPIRES, All i did was just to follow the procedure that i was been told, and i bet you that procedure I took change my entire life to something i ever desire, freedom, sickness free, pains free, fame, influence, connections and even more that i can. Thanks to Lord Mark. Do you want a life full of interesting things? Do you want to have power and influence over others? To be charming and desirable? To have wealth, health, and longevity? contact the vampires creed today via email: Vampirelord7878@gmail.com
