There’s a good chance I’m going to DragonCon this year. It was sort of a sudden decision between Cath and I… she can’t go with us to either Animazement or Otakon, so I brought up dragoncon… it looks *really* cool, with a lot of really neat guests and events. I was thinking of costumes… right now I’m working on Xiaoyu…
