It's All About Highlander

So you're in Atlanta and thinking...there's more to Con then Cosplay. I want to get out of downtown and do something local....enter the Highlander. Mentioned in Food Networks: Diners, Drive-ins and Dives.  Ahhhhh we luv, luv, luv the Highlander. Deep fried tater tots smothered in cheese and sour cream, mmmmmmmm
So let me introduce you to our first waitress( yeah we were there a while), let us call her Blue Panty Girl.

We call her that because of her Dragon*Con story. She did not know what Dragon*Con was last year but her boyfriend was a vendor and told her to come down. Let's see, there was lots of drinking in a hotel the first night, half sobering somewhere but not remembering where she started, getting a cop to buy her some food, I forget how she back to where she started...anyway I digress. So the second day....apparently she didn't know this was multiple days, she realized she had no change of clothes but that apparently half naked women running around was ok soooo she ran around the rest of Con in her....you guessed it, blue panties.


So several hours later( and several/many pitchers of beer....) enter our second waitress.

If you have ever been to Highlander than you know all the wait staff has a three tattoo and two piercing minimum. Luv the people, Luv the food. We will call her Babe cause that's all Darkchilde remembers calling her. She helped us to more pitchers of beer,  our second supper and shots all round. And lamented that she needed to work all weekend so couldn't attend Dragon*Con this year. We will carry her with us this weekend in spirit.

And we can't forget the shout out to Jeff the owner.  Who, yes Annette, did give Darkchilde his Highlander glass. Apparently he spent too much money last year at Con and said he couldn't afford to do it again this year....then something about saving for a nursery and having to act like adult...blah blah excuses...

So after stumbling to bed at 2 or 3 in the morning we will all dream sweet dreams about Dragon*Con because, what is now today, is badge pickup day and the fun can really begin.
