1st and 2nd year attendees

Hey guys!

This will be my second year attending but my FIRST year actually staying near the convention! (thanks to a little encouragement and help from some of the guys here in the forums) And I wanted to ask a few questions.


1. Would any of you first or second timers want to just kinda meetup and wonder around together for a while? I think it would be fun to get to know some new people and help us get more used to navigating the area!

2. Furthermore would anyone with nintendo 3ds's/3dsXL want to meetup for some DS goodness? I know my animal crossing town is empty! haha

So yeah post in the thread if your interested in meeting up at some point!

Bryan,

If you need some people to hangout with You can chill with my group of friends. (That is if you are of age  ) we drink while roaming around con. However, I will tell you I have had some of my best times at con just roaming around the hotels by myself. People are happy to talk and are very welcoming to new comers.  Just wanted to let you know that.

We will be roam form hotel to hotel and dealer rooms all around. you are welcome to join us. However none of us will have a nintendo ds with us. Too much to carry. Drinks or games, Drinks will win.  lol 

Don't forget to come to the M&G Bryan K!!

Along with meeting up with all of the awesome folks from this forum you might also want to checkout the Dragon Con Newbies Facebook group that I manage.  We have approx. 800 members of the group and we will be doing several newbie related events at con again this year.  Those events should be listed on the official schedule once it comes out.  They include a walking tour of the official con hotels (likely from 5pm to 6pm on Thu) a newbies meet and greet social (likely from 6pm - 8pm on Thu) and an orientation panel on Friday (likely 10am-11am).

You can find our Facebook group here -

We also list several helpful resources for newbies on our website -

So is everyone invited to this shindig? Even if we're relatively new (and don't really know anyone yet)? Sounds like fun!!

Absolutely...that's the whole point of a meet and greet!

Awesome - just didn't want to party-crash if it was something just for the 'regulars'! 

Voidhawk beat me to it. If you're a member of The Board and you post you're a "regular"! We (at least I) encourage everyone to show up for the M&G everyone I've encountered on this forum has welcoming, or I would not have been a member here so long!

**edit: The Drunken Jedi is sort of mean...not sure that he means to be mean but he is...it may be his default setting. #dicehands! 

I'm a newbie too. I'm always willing to meet and talk to new people!

Aww shucks I don't think I"m coming in until late Thursday.  I will try to run into everyone some other time at the con!

There is always the room party and The Drunken Jedi, Miss Sin and I along with a couple of other people are always roaming the Marriott so make sure you keep and eye out!
