TWiT @ Dragon*Con!September 1

TWiT’s going to Dragon*Con, the world’s largest sci-fi and fantasy convention, this weekend in Atlanta. Be there with us live!

TWiT’s Brian Brushwood and Tom Merritt are headed to Dragon*Con in Atlanta Georgia, September 3-5, streaming live from one of the biggest SciFi/Fantasy/Geekfests in the world. They’ll be streaming the parade of costumed awesomeness, walking through the hotels talking with cosplayers, and sneaking into parties where nobody should probably bring a camera.

If you’re going to be in Atlanta, be sure to head to our meetup on Saturday night at 6 PM Eastern at the Sundial Restaurant in the Westin Peachtree Hotel.

Coverage begins Saturday morning at 10 AM Eastern/7AM Pacific at live.twit.tv. Here’s the full schedule

Live on TWiT

• Friday September 3 7 PM Eastern/4 PM Pacific NSFW Show Live – Brian Brushwood and Justin Robert Young bring their Internet madness and hilarity to Dragon*Con. Expect the unexpected and special surprise guests. (1 Hour)
• Saturday September 4 10 AM Eastern/7 AM Pacific Dragon*con Parade – ever seen 20 wookies walk through the center of a major metropolitan area? Followed by a battalion of Stargate Officers, who are being chased by a dozen Boba Fetts? Well, then you haven’t seen the Dragon*Con parad

Live Coverage of Apple Event Coming UpSeptember 1

 

Great news: Apple will be streaming its event today live at apple.com – finally. Unfortunately the stream will only work with Apple products: iOS 3.0 or better devices or Safari. I suspect that’s because Apple wants to show off its new http streaming capability – perhaps related to an announcement they’ll make today.

We’ll do our own breaking coverage and analysis of the event starting at 12:30p Eastern/9:30 Pacific/1630 UTC at http://live.twit.tv with Andy Ihnatko, Alex Lindsay, Tom Merritt and me. Live coverage will be followed by MacBreak Weekly immediately after Steve leaves the stage.
