Dragon*Con had plans. They aimed to join the Guinness Book of World Records on September 6th, 2009. It was to be spectacular. It was to be geek-gasmic. It was to be untold numbers of people getting together to dance to Michael Jackson’s “Thriller.” Then MJ’s birthday rolled around and 12,000 people flashmobbed Mexico to dance the Thriller.
Those are some big shoes to fill, D*Con. You must recruit every Inu Yasha, Soul Reaper, Captain Jack Sparrow, goth fairy, 501st Stormtrooper, Umbrella Agent, Indiana Jones, Bad Ash/Good Ash, Jayne Hat wearer, steampunker, Cobra agent, attention whorer, Mad Hatter, Marvel/DC superhero, Transformer, whatisits, vampire, Harry Potter wizard and, of course, zombie you can get your hands on. If that’s not enough, you’re gonna have to turn to the furries.
Gods be with you when this happens. That’s the kind of help you’ll never live down.
