One cool thing 9-3-2020 Dragoncon goes virtual.

Every Labor day, myself and 85k geeks descend onto downtown Atlanta and revel for five days across five hotels, a convention center and even the entire streets during a Saturday parade, Sadly covid claims another victim this year but the fine folks at Dragoncon have set up three full rooms of virtual programming, a virtual dealer room , a discord and more.

You can find the entire list of events at Dragoncon

One Cool Thing 7-30-2020 Drunken Dragon Hotel

Today in the mail I got a neat package from  The Drunken Dragon Hotel

For those who know the history of the Marriot Carpet and it’s relationship to the con, this site is the place to get your tiki shirts ordered.

But what made the package so cool other than the fact that it came in a gold foil package (classy) was the effort put into the mailing. I got a letter from the front desk welcoming me to the hotel, a lanyard for next con, a do not disturb sign for the hotel door and a blue postcard for memories of Dragoncons past.

What a fun way to jazz up a shopping experience. Check into the Drunken Dragon Hotel

One Cool Thing 7-29-2020 Dragon’s Nectar

Dragoncon like everything else this year is canceled. But the fine folks at Monks Meadery in Georgia are still releasing their Dragoncon branded Dragon’s Nectar this August and you can order it online here .

There is even a sampler pack with the other offerings by Monks Meadery. I’m looking forward to trying the Butter Buzz. I know I’ll be cracking open a Dragon’s Nectar this labor day as I mourn this years con cancellation.
