My fellow Atlantans, the time has come again – [tag]Dragon Con 2009[/tag] is here.  This year, friggin WILLIAM SHATNER will be in attendance.  Seriously, if you have not gone to this event (at least the parade) you are completely missing out.  There are not many days of the year in this city when you can see a wookie, a fairie, Batman, Catwoman, a stormtrooper, and Harry Potter walking together on the streets of Atlanta.

And this year brings even more fabulous surprises.  On [tag]Sunday, September 6th at 7pm, Dragon Con peeps will be attempting to break the WORLD RECORD for the most people dancing simultaneously to Michael Jackon’s Thriller[/tag].  I mean, seriously.  Nothing – I mean, nothing can prepare you for this event.  My mom is visiting this weekend – and she will be attending for the first time (much to her dismay or happiness!)

Brutus ALWAYS gives this event 4 massive paws up. (Last year, he got so excited, he fainted during the parade…)
