Dragon*Con 2011 Interview with Shannon and Todd

Can’t see Player?

Ever wanted to know what goes on at Dragon*Con but were too afraid to ask. Dragon*Con is the largest multi-media, popular culture convention focusing on science fiction and fantasy, gaming, comics, literature, art, music, and film in the universe! Here we have interviewed two people that have been there and survived to tell their tale. Todd is from San Diego and we met him at our first San Diego Comic Con in 2008, we have kept in contact ever since. This year when we returned to San Diego for Comic Con we met up with him and his girlfriend Shannon. Shannon was the organiser of the Apocalypse Rising Track at Dragon Con, as well as being a genre fan, she had an insiders perspective of how fan conventions are run. It was great to get both points of view of this amazing Fan-Run Convention that is a mecca for all types of fans and we thank them for allowing us the chance to interview them.
