Some of you may be aware that I've been a panelist at Dragon*Con the past two years. I usually forget to post about it until the last minute, but I'm trying to get my act together early this year. 
Dragon*Con happens in downtown Atlanta every year during Labor Day weekend. It's a great convention for geeks of all kinds, and seeing downtown Atlanta swarming with storm troopers, furries, elves, pirates, and anime characters is just awesome.
I've sent in my application to be a Guest this year, so I'm just waiting to see if I get accepted. My plan is to go even if I don't get accepted and crash the game developer panels. (It's a common occurance.)
So I have two purposes in posting today: first, to invite all of you to come to Dragon*Con, and second to bounce some ideas off of you for panels for if I do get accepted. I haven't had to submit my panel ideas yet, so if you guys come up with something better, I can still use your ideas.
