DC Passes Near Final Price Increase
The final price increase for DragonCon 2006 hits next week, so now's the last chance to get discounted passes before the event. Memberships are $70 until July 15, and then $85 at the door. In the last few months, the guest list has grown to include George Takei from Star Trek, Erick Avari from numerous science fiction roles and many other guests. We're also about to order tickets for some of the other Atlanta area attractions in the days leading up to the convention, so let us know if you'll be in the area and want to hang out. Each summer the CIC staff and a bunch of Wing Commander fanatics have a good time at one of the world's biggest science fiction conventions. The biggest hurdle for most people to attend are travel and hotel arrangements, so feel free to ask in our DragonCon Forum if you have questions about that. You can check out our pictures from last year here.
Most of us don't pack lightly. The first shot shows us circling the wagons after checking out of the hotel in 2005. LOAF is performing for the webcam in the middle picture, and the final image was a quick snap taken while we were preparing for the parade.
