The 6th Annual Dragon*Con Parade kicks off on Saturday at 10:00 AM. The 2007 Grand Master is Eric Estrada, and you can expect to see the heroes from Who Wants to be a Superhero, Michael Winslow, Nichelle Nichols and 1200 participants. This year promises to be the biggest and best yet! And last but not least, the Space Simulator is back, thanks to George Tyson and his crew. Provided free of charge, it will be located again this year between the Hyatt and the Marriott on Peachtree Center Ave. We hope you’ll stop by and check it out. With the passage of time as well as continued growth every year, change is inevitable. For you old timers here are the changes this year: I t ’s hard to believe that this year we are celebrating 21 years of Dragon*Con. I have often compared the Dragon*Con experience to stepping into another world for four days. Welcome to the World of Dragon*Con! This year we celebrate 10 years of the Dawn Look-A-Like contest with the cover of the program book and an exclusive litho print available at the Linsner.com booth in the Hilton Ballroom or at the Dragon*Con store in the Salon at the Hilton. We are pleased to be screening the following movies for you! The World Premiere of Lady Magdalene, starring Nichelle Nichols on Sunday at 10:00 AM, in the Centennial Ballroom of the Hyatt, and Jack Ketchum’s The Girls Next Door, starring William Atherton, on Friday night at the Cine’fest Theater. Busses to Cine’fest will depart from the back of the Marriott (Courtland St. side). Come and join the stars at each of these screenings for a great experience. • Gaming is moving into the Marriott. • The Walk of Fame is also moving to the Marriott. WOF and the autographing will be in the Imperial Ball Room. • The Exhibit and dealers hall are in the Hilton. The dealer hall will include the comic artist alley. Be sure to visit them for a true shopping extravaganza. • We have moved band and other performer tables in the Hyatt to the Exhibit Level (one level below previous years). • The traffic flow in the Hyatt will be different this year. The plan is to close off access to the back stairs of the Hyatt during peak hours, and route the traffic through the ADA ramp that comes out in the conference center. • Tribe Track has become the Apocalypse Rising Track. For you newbies, Delete the words associated with “move” or “moving” and substitute “is” and “are”. Getting accurate information to you is important to us. The Daily Dragon, published Thursday through Monday morning and distributed at the Information Booths, will reflect the inevitable scheduling changes and information. Also, check the Information Booths, located in each hotel, where our staff is available to answer questions. If you’re staying at the Hyatt Regency, Marriott Marquis, or Atlanta Hilton, you’ll have the advantage of also checking updates through our in-house cable channel (which will also feature a live broadcast of the Masquerade, as well as a delayed broadcast of the Costuming Contest and the Dawn Look-A-Like Contest). In closing I want to remind all of you fans to please respect the privacy of our guests and stars. Allow them to enjoy their Dragon*Con experience too! They will be available for autographs in the Walk of Fame, not on the convention floor. On behalf of our 1200 member volunteer staff, we wish you a wonderful Dragon*Con experience. Pat Henry Chairman • We have split the Space and Science track and the Science Fiction and Fantasy literature track into two rooms. • Buffy Track has now become Whedon Universe Track. 3 Vital Information IMPORTANT NOTES Baker Street Closed Due to the rennovations at the Marriott Marquis, Baker Street will be closed to during Dragon*Con between Peachtree Center Avenue and Courtland Street.

And as we all know you can’t have a good Apocalypse with out such fandoms as Jeremiah, Jericho, The Tribe, zombies, and more! Programming all weekend will look at apocalyptic themes in movies, television, books, and music...even prophecy, theology, and mythology. Art Show Forums and Workshops (ART) Director: Heidi Wallace; Location: Hanover FG (H) We have many exciting events for the 2007 Dragon*Con Art Show including the 7th Annual Iron Artist contest, a large canvas on which all the artists can work (which will be sold at auction), an art salon, making art with live models, live music, demos, how-to’s, and other wonderful events. Autograph Sessions (AUTO) Director: Geoff Wingard; Location: Imperial Ballroom (M) Each year, Dragon*Con assembles many of its guests for scheduled autographing sessions in one area.

Limitations on number and type of items may be made, generally at the request of the signer, and sometimes due to time considerations. British Sci-Fi Media (BRIT) Director: Caro McCully; Location: Cairo (H) Britain has inspired every aspect of American modern culture.

Returning favorite panels include Live Journal, Hacking 101/201/301, and Web Cam Girls. Filk Singing (FILK) Director: Tom Smith; Location: Inman (H) Filk Singing began life as a typographic error of “Folk Singing” in a convention program book back in the early 1960’s. Instead of correcting the mistake, a new form of music called “filk” was created. Filk songs come in two varieties - parodies of popular songs with an SF theme (or fantasy or horror, etc.) and original music with the same themes.

It should prove to answer some of the obvious questions and help both the new and veteran convention gamer as you plan your adventure with us. The friendly staff at Gaming Registration should also be able to answer any questions you might have or help you find the answers you need. Gaming Registration will be open Thursday evening for you early birds, and at 8:00 AM each morning of the convention. In order to play in most events you will need an event ticket. Most event tickets cost $3.00, but there are some free demonstration games and a few are more expensive. You can also purchase generic tickets that are usable at any event. If an event is sold out you can show up for that event with a generic ticket and if anyone with a “real” ticket for that event does not show up you will be able to step in. This is particularly true for the larger events where there is more of a chance of a no show or cancellation. The purpose of ticketing is to insure attendance of events. 58 Dragon*Con still uses four hour sessions in an effort to maximize the number of games each player can experience during the convention. The four-day period is divided into 14 gaming sessions as follows: Friday Saturday Sunday Monday Session 1 Session 5 Session 9 Session 13 9AM-1PM Session 2 Session 6 Session 10 Session 14 1PM-5PM Session 3 Session 7 Session 11 6PM-10PM Session 4 Session 8 Session 12 10PM-2AM Ideally tournament judges will manage their time so that each game is finished with fifteen minutes left in the session allowing everyone time to get to the next game. Large tournaments in some of the gaming areas do not follow this patter, and some games run over one and a half or two sessions which is usually noted in the description area for that event. When you are looking at events in the listings, you will see that events are typically referred to by their session numbers and not the day or time.
