Every year geeks flock to Dragon*Con and WorldCon and many other cons, while more geeks are left at home wishing they could go. Three years ago a joke on twitter between @BrandG, @SVallie, & @Nlowell became a haven for those of us left out of the con club. Dragon*Cant, the virtual con, the un con, the all the con with none of the crud has grown and flourished over the past three years.
Through the magic of the internet (Ustream and Google Hangouts) we are able to not just host or attend a panel but to participate in them. Not only are the panels but meeting in the bar in between panels. With Twitter and Google hangouts over the next few days you can interact with geeks from all over the world, some your friends, and others friends you haven’t met yet. Both prior Dragon*Cants have brought me new friends I had never met before and gotten me closer with people I had only just seen on twitter.
Last year I hosted a panel on Pop Art, this year on Sunday, I will be hosting two panels and The Clockwork Doctor (our intrepid GunGeek columnist) will be hosting a panel of his own.
