Biteline: Dragon*Con

While I created Mondo Vampire as something unrelated to my Dragon*Con duties, it is coming up and may be of interest for some of you. Plus, it's what is taking my time right now, and I figured I would ballyhoo it a little bit.

Dragon*Con is traditionally held over Labor Day weekend (September 4 - 7 this year) in Atlanta, GA. I run the Dark Fantasy track, which focuses on horror (largely literary), urban fantasy, and goth "stuff." I do not book guests nor do I book bands. What I do is schedule programming relating "the dark side" of pop-culture, or, as I deem it, "Hex, Blood, and Rock'n'Roll."

We have so many guests attending this year that if I started listing them, I would leave someone out and feel bad about it later. However, my tentative schedule can be seen right here.

Dragon*Con really is unlike anything you've ever seen. Even people who have attended San Diego Comic-Con (which is larger overall) say that Dragon*Con has its own vibe unmatched by anything on Earth.

More details about the convention as a whole can be found at Dragon*Con's official website.
