Hello.
I am here in a downtown Atlanta for the annual Dragon Con.
Every year, Dragon Con has this huge parade
that goes through all of downtown
and everyone is cosplaying in a parade
and people wait for hours for the parade to start.
Right now we are waiting there's already people lined up
and the parade isn't for another two hours.
Just going about their day.
They're gonna go get some breakfast.
I'm actually in the middle of the parade right now.
It's a good thing I dressed up today.
If it wasn't for the cameras people would think I'm part of the parade.
That is amazing.
Wow! that is a lot of ghostbusters.
That's like way too many ghostbusters.
I don't think I've ever seen so many ghostbusters in my time life.
Got any waffles?
Booo! Kylo Ren is better!
OK. That is awesome.
The parade was incredible.
It lasted just a little bit over an hour
and honestly and my only complaint was that there weren't enough Trekkies
and there weren't enough apes.
Aside from that, it was pretty epic.
By the way, not just anybody can walk down the parade
you actually have to get permission ahead of time and apply.
I was just fortunate enough to be a part of it
because I am here covering for Dragon Con.
So, as part of the job I'm able to go into the parade which is so cool
because I've never been a part of anything like that.
This is my first Dragon Con
and already I'm loving it.
Dragon Con lasts 5 days and as soon as the convention starts
it is around the clock stuff to do.
I would let the panel introduce themselves,
and I will start at the far end and work down.
You sir are?
That's good.
Dragon Con is spread out between a bunch of different hotels.
Because the convention is a spread out throughout downtown Atlanta,
it's a little bit overwhelming to know where everything is,
I actually got lost,
and I got stuck in this room for like a good 15 minutes
because there is no way out of the room.
Dragon Con actually offers newbie tours,
so they have walking tours
that will take you to all of the different hotels
and places where things are going to happen.
And I highly recommend it if this is your first Dragon Con
because it was extremely helpful for me.
And even, even though I did the tour
I was still getting lost getting to places.
Plus the expo hall with all the booths and vendors is about four stories high,
so you got to take a lot of escalators and it's pretty unconventional
for a convention.
-So cool. -Thank you.
It is expected that there will be 90,000 people
to attend this year's Dragon Con.
That is a lot of people.
The Hilton is all like Jurassic Park
and there's actually Hilton Park.
And there's actually some parts of it that are Hilton World
like Jurassic World, it's great, it's amazing.
There's dinosaurs everywhere.
I just walked into a Trekkie meeting
and it was full of Star Trek fans
and I went in there dressed up as General Grievous,
which is of course from Star Wars.
I got some interesting looks.
I did not mean to do that by the way.
That's it for this Dragon Con experience.
I hope that you had fun watching this video

and definitely subscribe, hit that little notification bell,

But for now, I'm gonna go.
So, I will see you when I see you, bye!
