The scene at the 2008 Dragon*Con parade

Rather than fight the football crowds in Athens today, I rambled over to Atlanta for the annual parade of Dragon*Con attendees and guests. I still haven't attended that convention, but this was a chance to check out the fans in costume strutting their stuff. My favorite moment was probably when the legion of Firefly fans, the Browncoats, marched by singing "Hero of Canton" from one of that show's memorable episodes. Needless to say, there was a lot of eye candy:

Adam West. Superstar.


Captain Marvel, X-23, Captain America, Hawkgirl, Lois Lane, Hellboy


Green Lantern Corps


Frank Miller's 300


Firefly fans love Jayne Cobb (and his hat)


Alien nation


Who you gonna call?


They hope you will enjoy the show


The love bug


Still can't aim for shit


Porkins loves you!

Dragon*Con continues in downtown Atlanta through Monday.
