A more perfect video of the DraconCon convention in Atlanta, Georgia does not exist. These are the exact events of what transpires at the con, and the same dreamy feeling you get from the music is equivalent to the fantasy state you are in whilst walking around gazing at all the amazing costumes. There is also a 20-minute Director's Cut (check it out under the cut!) which is definitely worth watching. I have already spotted a couple of the people we have met, including a quasi-Yi, although our 5-group League of Legends costumes did not make the cut. I can't really blame them, it would take a Director's Cut that is hours and hours long to contain the majority of the cosplayers that attended. It is perplexing that we never ran into the film-makers, there were only about 46000 attendants!
Are you in it?

Honda Civic Tour
Matt and Kim, My Chemical Romance, and headliners Blink 182 rocked the Verizon
Amphitheater a couple of weeks ago. It attracted an audience which I call the UNCC crowd, meaning mostly college-age people and a minimal amount of adolescents and older people. It was an energetic and fun show for
everyone there, except for that one guy that laid down on the lawn and took
a nap until the headliner. Seriously who does that? First of all he did not care at all for the openers, and secondly how can you toss and turn on a filthy lawn with all that loudness and energy all around you?
Matt
and Kim's energy was fantastic. I love when a two-person band has such
chemistry. Kim is my new female musician hero. I wish I could play drums
My Chemical Romance had a roller-coaster set, playing really old stuff, and some really new things I
have not even heard. I'm an oldschool fan, and I just can't picture the
lead singer as anything else but the goth boy with sunken eyes and black locks of old.
I never was a die-hard fan of Blink 182, but it was fun to
reminisce about being an angsty youth; my companions were enjoying it very much. The stage banter of the group only added to
that feeling. I enjoy a good amount of stage banter when I'm in a position where I can clearly make out what is being said, or am not yet drunk to the point where anything I hear doesn't get processed.
We overheard some kid say "Yeah let's leave, Blink 182 is my dad's music."
Kids these days...

Open Shimmy Night 2

| Bellydancer Neesa |
The NoDa bellydance show happened again! Instead of the Salvador Deli lot, it was held inside Dolce. It was so packed that the belly dancers hardly had much space in which to dance around, but they pulled it off pretty well. Check back for future Open Shimmy Night dates! Pictured is my friend and old roommate Neesa.
