Blown Out At Dragon*Con?

Blown Out At Dragon*Con?So you're in your best Stormtrooper gear at Dragon*Con in Atlanta the past weekend. You think you shared a moment with one of the Slave Princess Leias. But which one? It's so hard to tell through this damned visor. There's only one solution… to CraigsList Missed Connections with you! Let's see if Bleeding Cool can help spread the word…

Sep 10 – DragonCon at Trader Vic's – m4w – 28 (Outside)

I told you a morbid story about my family. You had a Watership Down tattoo. I was a little too shy and now I regret it.

Sep 8 – Girl w/nerd shirt & glasses at Dragon*Con! – m4w – 99 (Dragon*Con)

Looking for the really cute girl who was wearing a shirt that said "Everything I touch turns to nerd." I talked to you very briefly at the Walk of Fame, and then we came across each other a few times around the Pulse bar in the Marriott (I was dressed in a suit, and you were looking for your brother.) I wanted to come talk to you while you were hanging out with 'Richard Castle' but didn't want to interrupt.

Sep 8 – Dragon*Con, met at the Time Traveller's Ball Sunday

Well, this is a long-shot, but I'm having trouble Googling the lovely lady I met at the Time Traveller's Ball Sunday night in the Westin, because Google doesn't index punctuation so that hyphen in your first name gives it trouble. Really wish I could remember your last name. *facepalm* Anyway, to narrow this down without putting in names, you were originally trying to introduce me to your friend in the Mystique outfit, which didn't go quite as planned. Just wanted to say Hi but haven't been able to find you.

Sep 7 – Dragon*Con Marriott Sunday night – m4w – 31 (Marriott valet parking bench)
Hottie from New Mexico drinking New Castle… There's a Falcons' fan who'd love to chat more than 45 seconds.

Sep 7 – Dragon*con – Hyatt bar Saturday night – m4w

I ran into you during dragon*con on Saturday at the Hyatt Bar. You were talking to Neil Grayston when I walked up. I'm the Asian guy you kept hugging. Thought we were hitting it off and me being stupid didn't keep the conversation going! You are a web developer from North Carolina. Please email me the college you attended. Hope you read this!

Sep 7 – Blond/White dom at the Marriot bar – m4w – 28 (Dragon*Con)

Sep 7 – Dragon*Con; You were Wolverine, and I was Poison Ivy – w4m – 25 (Marriott, Atlanta, GA)
I can't figure out why I left without getting your contact information. I know your name is Dan, and you make leather jackets. You were the best Wolverine I've ever seen. We talked for a while, just standing in the crowd. I wish I could find a picture of us. Hopefully, I'll see you at another convention soon. :)

Sep 7 – Save the cheerleader – Dragon*Con – m4w (Mariott, second floor)
My friend and I were standing around taking pictures of costumes Saturday night when you walked past. I mentioned "Save the cheerleader" to my friend and you must have heard me. He said you were looking back at me but when I turned around you had disappeared into the crowd. If you remember me and are interested, drop me a line

Sep 7 – Cassie, let me know if you're interested – Dragon*Con – m4w (Sunday night rave)

I really enjoyed talking to you while we walked to the rave and getting to watch you dance was amazing. I loved how you were always smiling, as if you were somewhere safe while you were dancing. I thought I saw you outside our hotel when I checked out this morning but I couldnt tell if that was you sitting in the white car across the parking lot.

You didnt seem interested in me "that way" but I'd like to stay in touch and watch you dance again next year.

Drop me a line if you're interested.

Sep 7 – DragonCon – WOW wizard – m4m – 42 (Downtown)

You – WOW blond wizard. Me – ancient wizard. You were pressing awfully hard into me during our photo. Just wondering if there was a lingering interest. Put your robe color in Subject Line of first email.

Sep 6 – Spencer, I need a hug. – w4m – 28 (Dragon*Con)

If I had a TARDIS, I'd go back and make myself ask you to dinner. Temporal paradoxes be damned.

Sep 6 – Hottest guy at Dragon Con! – w4m – 27

Captain. Jack. Sparrow. I hit on you (in front of my date) at the Hyatt bar. Please reply to this if you'd be interested in hearing what I *didn't* get to say…

Sep 4 – You were in a blue dress watching the DragonCon parade – m4w – 30 (Atlanta)

I saw you from across Peachtree St. during the parade. You were wearing a blue dress…..it looked like it might have been a one-piece outfit. You were with a friend who had dark hair, and you were standing very close to one of the Peachtree Center MARTA station entrances. You were also wearing brown footwear.

Your energy was amazing…….you were having so much fun, laughing, dancing, and just seemed so alive and vibrant. And you were cute too :) I was going to talk to you but when the parade ended I lost you in the crowd as people started swarming all over the street. By the time I arrived at your spot on the curb you had vanished into the crowd.

If this is you, please email me. Tell me what kind of footwear you were wearing and what color your hair is. And maybe send a couple of the pictures you took of the parade. I'd love to have coffee with you, listen to you tell your story, and bask in that incredible, vivacious, joyful energy you seem to emanate…… :)

Sep 3 – To the Burly, hot Mario at Dragoncon – m4m – 30 (Dragoncon)

You are awesome, hairy, and thick. You were dressed like Mario with a muscle shirt. Just wanted you to know that my boyfriend and I want to fuck the shit out of you.

Of course, some people didn't bother with all that "missed" stuff and decided to find their own at Dragon*Con. This link and this link are initially safe for work. Any further links you click to from there, especially the ones with pictures, are really not.

But at least you get an idea of what is really going on at conventions these days. It's true, it's not about the comics – or about the films, games and toys either. It's all about the shagging…
