American Express two weeks ago: We need to send you a new card with a new number.
American Express tonight: We declined a transaction from [DragonCon host hotel] because they used your old card number. LOLZ
Me, frantically calling Amex: Can you please, please, please, please let that transaction go through?! If you don't, I will lose the room!
Amex: Sorry. You'll have to get in touch with the merchant.
I might have just lost my #DragonCon hotel room because Amex can't fix this problem.

One of the cats found my collection of stuff that I plan to use for Swag N' Seek at #DragonCon. She really likes the bracelets and keeps taking them out of the organizer bucket. #365Project #Project365
If you’ve spent any time at the Science Track at #DragonCon, you know Trevor. If you can help him out, he’s been going through a lot lately:

Fire dragons are said to be the keepers of the inner fire that lives in every soul. This oil captures that mystical, primal energy and is a powerful tool for creativity, courage and transformation.

I've been on the Fediverse since January 2017. I initially ran a single-user instance of Mastodon. In March 2020 I started to write Ktistec, my own implementation of an ActivityPub server in Crystal (a language with the ergonomics of Ruby but the speed of Go) because I wanted something more supportive of writing. This #introduction was written and published on Epiktistes, my Ktistec instance.
I'm an Engineer by training but now I run teams for companies in climate-tech.
I love #music, #sciencefiction and #fantasy literature (yes, I'm an R. A. Lafferty fan), attend fan conventions like #worldcon and #dragoncon, and do regular #weightlifting. I am also learning to play the #bagpipes, and I'm (re)learning #japanese.
@Alice Do you have any models of the now sadly-beheaded #Atlanta Marriott poop lions? https://YouTu.be/RZf4dbncNlU
Pleased to announce I will be returning as an attending professional at Dragon Con in 2025! Looking forward to seeing you! #dragoncon

#WritersCoffeeClub October 19. Do you go to fan conventions or similar?
I do! I went to one just a couple of weeks ago, in fact. And I'm working toward getting back toward going to #DragonCon as well. Their Hourly Writing track is AMAZING.
We wrap up our Dragon Con review this week with Sci-Fi Court, two roll-a-panels, and a whole lot of Helens Roper! #dragoncon #podcast #esonetwork https://flopcast.net/646.html
Hello friends! I’m still alive! This year has been rough but in late August I had an injection in my spine and it took a few weeks for it to really kick in but WOW the difference it has made.
And my daughter’s help I survived an amazing year at #DragonCon. I will be sharing new art from the summer soon! #art #artist #life
The Dragon Con recap continues! Geek girls run; Freaks eat too much cheese. Plus: trashbag cicadas, TPS reports, and naughty puppets. #dragoncon #geek #esonetwork https://flopcast.net/645.html

#DragonCon is the gift that keeps on giving. Someone in one of my DC groups mentioned they had ribbons left over and did anyone want some? I messaged her and she even surprised me with some cute stickers. The "Remove to expose adhesive" one cracks me up because there is no adhesive on the actual ribbon and I can only imagine how it drove people crazy. #365Project #Project365

@JackbyDev Yes, I remember all the #cosplay #Loki variants at #DragonCon. My favorite was the person with a spiky sphere surrounding their torso: the #COVID19 virus variant
Another shot of the Marriott Marquis Atlanta. This one is more recognizable. (The previous was of a lesser known view.) This is a portrait shot so you may need to open it to see the full thing.
