Thought I'd post an SU about my experience at Dragonsteel! It was my first-ever convention and it was tons of fun—I'll be back for sure
Day 1:
Spoiler- We (my dad, who's also a Sanderfan, and I, who worked hard to convince him to take me :D.) decided to arrive at the convention about half an hour before the first event and we felt decent about being a bit early. Oh how wrong we were! We were in line for almost 90 minutes waiting for our badges and completely missed the first panel—but we got to hang out with some really cool Sanderfans and discuss our theories about TLM the whole time
- My badge number was number 2100 which was super cool! I felt really lucky
- We saw a presentation from Isaac and Team Dragonsteel about all the merch that's coming in the swag boxes next year! They said that the nightblood letter opener was originally too big and would've been legally categorized as a weapon so they had to shrink it down so they weren't investigated by homeland security . Also apparently they were going to do a full-sized shardblade (!!) but it didn't fit in the package.
- I met Daniel Greene and got a photo! Anyone else a fan of Mr. Goblin?
- Saw a live recording of Intentionally Blank with Dan Wells and Branderson himself! Wow I love that podcast
- BRANDON ANSWERED MY DUMB QUESTION ABOUT THE COGNITIVE REALM VIDEO LATER IN SU
- Dan Wells did a breakdown of the movie "Crazy Rich Asians" and it was actually so cool. He talked about characters and arcs and introductions and when we only got through six minutes of the movie in the first half an hour I knew we were in trouble :P.
- Got my event copy of TLM!!
Day 2:
Spoiler- Convinced my dad to let me get a Dragonsteel shirt and Bridge Four hat. Totally wearing those all the time now
- Stormlight 5 theorizing was tons of fun—there were some insane theories that I could barely even wrap my head around. But I'm sooooo looking forward to the future!!
- I got to see a live recording of Shardcast with the some Shard Mods! Extremely interesting! They talked about my question from the previous night which was super super cool.
-
Got to see another panel with Isaac, Peter, and Joshua (Brandon's agent)! The editing process is fascinating.
I WANNA BE A BETA READER - Talked with Dan Wells and got one of his books signed!
- Watched a very cool cosmere parade. There was a "I am a stick", a Syl, a Koloss, Lightsong, basically everyone you can think of
- Chaos (way too scared to ping him ) was supposed to be a panel member for a couple events but he didn't make it unfortunately. I was going to make him sign my Shard Bookmark: "@chaos"
- Oh yeah I got a 17th Shard Bookmark!
- Release party was AWESOME Brandon is such a good public speaker
- Thousand person cosmere kahoot was pretty cool!
- Woke up at 3:30 AM for my flight the next day yay!
