Happy 2008 to all our Evil Geniuses and Evil wannabes!

rain and jonnyX have once again entered the realm known as Dragon*Con. We resisted as long as possible, going so far as to have memory blocks in our brains so as not to have to think about anything Dragon*Con 2007 related. Those blocks were programmed to dissipate as of the day of our first Dragon*Con 2008 meeting which took place on January 13, 2008. All those 2007 Dragon*Con memories suddenly flooding through our brains left each of us slightly stupefied but no one at the meeting was able to tell the difference from our normal selves, so we persevered.

There is not a whole lot of new information to pass along at this point.

We have confirmed that, thanks to all of you, we made a success of our split track and in 2008 we will once again have 2 tracks of programming. As in 2007, the tracks will be split into a Space track and a Science track. Of course, we reserve the right to cross program the rooms as need dictates.

There is the possibility that Skeptics will have their own room this year but we won't have confirmation of that for a few weeks. Either way, the Skeptics will be back in 2008 bigger and better than ever. Check back for updates.

We don't know yet where the track rooms will be for 2008. There are rumors that the Hilton will be undergoing renovations this year so our great room locations from 2007 many not be possible. Again, keep checking back. As soon as we know - you will know.

Dragon*Con has grown so much, that even with the Marriott back in full service this year with a new large ballroom, it is expanding into a 4th hotel!! The Sheraton Hotel will join Dragon*Con as a host hotel on a limited basis. There will rooms available at the discount Dragon*Con rate and one of their ballrooms will be used for large events.

So Dragon*Con 2008 planning has begun. The Dragon*Con Official Site has already added information for 2008 and regular updates should be seen going forward. As we have news regarding the Space and Science tracks, we will update the Mad Scientist site as well.

AHHHH!! Dragon*Con 2008 is only 81/2 months away!!
