There was no shortage of things to do in Atlanta today - college football at the Dome, Braves at the Ted, Nascar at the Speedway, and Dragon-con, the largest fantasy/sci-fi convention in the land. Since early season college football doesn't interest me and I already had plans to see the Braves on Sunday - plus the fact that I nearly fell over when I realized the race would cost me over 5 bills to take the kids - we settled on the Freak Show. And what a show it was!
