Its always been odd to me that a private, for-profit corporation runs with an all volunteer labor force. I’ve always wondered how much of the money goes into the Con and how much goes to the handful of shareholders. With that said, I support the decision of both parties (the company and the volunteers) to do this! They are all adults and nobody is forcing them into it.
It takes an army: an army of unpaid volunteers, who are at the heart of what makes Dragon Con a success each year.
57,000 people attended the science fiction and fantasy convention Dragon Con in downtown Atlanta over Labor Day weekend. It’s staffed by over 1,800 volunteers who put in anywhere from 25 to 80 or more hours of work during the convention.

Wizard Atlanta is done and I’m back to work tomorrow. We didn’t break even, but it was a lot of fun and had a good time with friends. Thanks to everybody that came out and I think we may do it again next year!
More later as I get pictures up and get some ideas together. As for now, time for bed.

Because of health and personal issues, I’m putting the strip on hold until further notice. With everything going on, I’m having a hard time even meeting the schedule of two days a week. I still plan to work on various Think Weasel! projects, of which there will be more information in the future.
We have also canceled our table and trip to Phoenix Comicon. While we will sorely miss this event and the friends we have there, we need to cut costs as much as possible right now.
I thank everybody for reading and keep you updated on things.
My life has not been straight, in a line or otherwise
