Flopcast 018: Dragon*Con 2012 - Glowing with Geeky Goodness

Kevin and the Mayor of Chickentown are back from Atlanta, with a full Dragon*Con report to share with Kornflake and with you! This extra-long episode (sorry) starts with some nice calm day-by-day reports of encountering folks like The Amazing Randi, Alice Cooper, LeVar Burton, Nichelle Nichols, Adam West and Burt Ward, and yes, Freezepop. But then the show descends into chaos, as we head right into the middle of the Dragon*Con late night party scene and encounter some, uh, colorful characters. Hang on, kids; this one gets a little weird...

Show Notes

Before we get to our Dragon*Con photos, you must check out Deena Roth's wonderful song & video "Last Dragon*Con," which somehow manages to capture quite a bit of the fun and awesomeness of the convention. (Upon viewing, Felicity declared, "I want this girl to be my new best friend.")
