Greetings, and welcome to Lazy Dragon Con,

A science-Fiction / fantasy themed Party con

being held at the Quality Inn (formally Holiday Inn McKinney) in McKinney, Texas (North of Dallas).

July 18-20, 2008

"Due to the increasing price of gas, we have extended our Pre-Registration until June 1st to give everyone a chance to save a little money.  Also take advantage of our Great Hotel Rates to save money by staying at the hotel for the convention.  Thank you."

Lazy Dragon Con has again chosen The Breast Cancer Research Foundation as the charity to support at our event.  We EXCEEDED OUR GOAL for 2007, so we are trying to beat that now!

Please visit all of our SPONSORS who graciously support our convention.

A big THANK YOU to EVERYONE who came out to the 2007 Convention and to all those who helped out but couldn't be there!

If you have pictures from the convention, please share them with us!  Email Ben with the pictures or link to where they can be seen.

FEEDBACK from the 2007 Convention:

Dear Friends,

Thank you for having me participate in a great weekend.  I felt incredibly welcomed and well taken care of in a very friendly, caring, lively atmosphere.  I know your con will continue to grow and become even more prosperous.  Kudos and great big THANKS to you, your staff and volunteers!  Looking forward to seeing y'all in the future.

Warmest regards,

Bill (Johnson)

Thank you so much!  It was the funnest con I have ever been to.  I had a really good time and the merchants were all neat people.  I'm glad we were able to make it out.  Thanks again for the hospitality.

We had a great time this weekend and would do it again sometime. It was fun.  I think you've hit the right nerve to build on.  There's lot's of renaissance folks around and they need a convention.  Thanks for inviting us.  Also, I bought a load of pulps which I will treasure.

Cheers, Peter and Angie (Mayhew)

Hey, thank you right back for inviting me! I hope you guys thought it was worth your while to do all the work to put that together for the rest of us.  Everyone working there was helpful and patient, I had a blast talking with folks, made a couple of sales to cover my costs, and even picked up a few pointers from some of the other artists on the photoshop stuff I'm trying to learn. So, all in all, I had a great time!

I had a great time at the convention and met some terrific new people! Thanks for having me. I especially appreciated all the extra little things you did for the dealers such as having lunch brought in and the breakfast tickets, and having the nice cold water in the dealer’s room. Very few cons do that so it  was a nice extra touch.

Thanks!

The first year was positively fantastic. Sarah and I definitely want to return next year. Thank you so much for inviting me in the first place.

Anyway, it was lots of fun, and I'm looking forward to next year. Thanks again!

Thanks so much for your hospitality!  It really was a success. Maybe next year we will make money - but I did make enough to cover my expenses.

Hi Folks,

We, too, had a great time. We look forward to the next one.  Thanks for having us be a part of your event.

Thanks for putting the con together, y'all!!!!!  I know organizing a con is a ton of work, and often a thankless job.  But I had a GREAT time there!  I was fortunate to learn about the con only a couple of days beforehand and -- wow! -- I got to meet Burton Gilliam and James Hampton!  Didn't get to talk to Peter Mayhew much because we kept missing each other, but it was tons of fun anyway.  I especially liked Half Price Books having a table in the dealer's room.  Can't wait for next year!!!!

It was a very well organized convention.  Though I have little experience with this kind of convention, I attend a lot of huge conventions as a costumer.  Thanks for inviting me to vend.  I met a lot of really great folks.

 Best regards,

BTW, I've been meaning to tell you that I really enjoyed the con, and recognize all the hard work you guys put into setting that up.  I really had fun and am looking forward to next year....  Anyway, thanks again for all the work you guys put into Lazydragoncon, it was a real hoot.

Lazy Dragon Con was too much fun to believe. I did well (shock and amazement and joy), and can't wait for next years con. Overall it was a giggle and a half and I loved it.
