Atlanta Becomes The Capital of Strange

Once a year, over the Labor Day Weekend, Atlanta, a city near Roswell, is the Capital of Strange in the Southeast, perhaps the United States in its entirety. Almost 30,000 comic book fans, science fiction fans, anime fans, Goths and just plain partiers converge on several hotels in Atlanta's downtown for Dragoncon. They dress up as their favorite media characters, or in the case of Goths and partiers, wear their very best club clothes. Strangely enough, they all go very well together. It's always a fun, friendly event where you can have fun just sitting in the lobby and watching the parade pass by.

I'll post an article with a lot more photos when I have that website up, Real Soon Now.
