		<description><![CDATA[The other day we posted the official Dragon*Con 2010 convention report, which featured just a few of the 500+ photos I took over the course of the weekend. Now that they are all posted, cropped, edited, tagged, etc., I'd like to share a few of personal favorites with our loyal readers. The entire set of 500+ pictures can be found on the blog's flickr account. I got a Nikon D60 DSLR just a week and a half before the convention, so I'm still learning how to use it to its full potential, but I think these turned out okay! (Warning: photo heavy, may take a while to load)]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last year we waited in line to pick up our pre-registration badges at Dragon*Con for more than three and a half hours on Thursday. Fans were outraged over the mess, to say the very least. After the con was over, they took to the forums, LiveJournal community, and other outlets, to make their complaints known. Many made some excellent suggestions, and there was a feeling that someone at Dragon*Con was listening.]]></description>

And your budget’s already stretched thin for gas, tolls, hotel, admission and all the incidentals that add up so fast. What’s a geeky fashionista to do?

I had heard about Inochicon courtesy of Geekadelphia, and decided it would be the perfect opportunity to test out my new DSLR camera.
