Take Me Up To The Ball Game!
Last year’s partnership with the Atlanta Braves was a success and helped
us raise over $1,500 for the GA Chapter of the ALS Association. This year
we plan on something even more special and very official – Dragon*Con
Night at Turner Field. The Atlanta Braves are hosting Dragon*Con Night
against the Cleveland Indians on Thursday, August 29 with a portion of the
ticket sales going to the 2013 official Dragon*Con charities: Noah’s Ark
Animal Sanctuary, Georgia Conservancy, and Marcus Autism Center. Tickets
start at just $7. First pitch will be thrown by a special D*C guest and
in–game entertainment will be “geeked up” all night. Come dressed up
because all costumed guests are invited to join in a pre–game parade
around the field!
Bus transportation will be provided from host hotels starting at 4:30pm
with the pre–game parade starting around 6:00pm.

Dragon*Con is almost here and the hotels are filling up faster than a
vampire at a blood bank! The below hotels still have limited availability
but rooms are going fast.

2013 marks the 10th anniversary of Aspen Comics, and the 15th anniversary
of their flagship title “Fathom”. Dragon*Con is proud to announce that
Aspen Comics will be returning to Atlanta this Labor Day weekend, and is
planning to celebrate their milestone year with a truly special event –
The Aspen Comics Beach Party, taking place during Dragon*Con Night at the
Georgia Aquarium!
Attendees will not want to miss out as the artisans behind “Fathom”
– the best–selling comic title that plunges fans into the mystery and
enchantment of the world beneath the ocean’s surface – dive LIVE with
the incredible whale sharks of the Georgia Aquarium! No other venue could
be more “Fathom”–centric or provide a more breathtaking backdrop for
the Aspen team as they explore the captivating underwater environment of
this spectacular Atlanta landmark.
Featuring DJ Spider and an Aspen–themed costume contest (with fantastic
prizes from the creators of Aspen Comics’ top–selling lineup of
titles, to be announced soon), this is an excellent opportunity to enjoy
the amazing Georgia Aquarium while commemorating a special calendar year
for one of the industry’s most respected and beloved comics publishers.

It’s Not A Myth! Look Who’s Coming To Dragon*Con!
Psst…we have a secret for you. Dragon*Con members will now receive $10
off their tickets to see MythBusters: Behind the Scenes Tour (restrictions
apply). What’s better than hearing Jamie and Adam share their hilarious
stories and saving money while doing so? Remember there will only be one
panel at Dragon*Con with both Jamie and Adam and it won’t be the same as
the official tour so if you are a fan and want to make sure you hear all
of the behind the scenes antics, be sure to get your ticket before they
are gone.
Workshops, Workshops, Come And Get Your Workshops!
We are happy to announce six spectacular workshops that are sure to offer
