There are many fantasy and sci-fi conventions across the world and then there is Dragon*Con. First launched in 1987 Dragon Con has to be the biggest SFF convention in US if not in the whole world. Each year DC attracts more and more visitors, who by now are counted in tens of thousands. Each year there are contests, shows, performances, sales and hundreds and thousands of people simply having fun. This year is no different.

Dragon*Con 2010 is still more than half a year away but it already has a number of prominent guests confirmed, including two of the StarTrek: The Next Generation stars: Jonathan Frakes (William Riker) and Marina Sirtis (Diana Troy), as well as two Twilight actors: Ashley Greene (Alice Cullen) and Kellan Lutz (Emmett Cullen). Did I not mention that a chance to meet the stars was one of the perks of visiting the convention? :-)

Dragon*Con 2010 will be held Labor Day weekend (September 3 - September 6, 2010) in Atlanta, GA. To learn more about the convention and to sign up go to Dragon*Con website.
