Photo gallery: Dragon Con 2015 descends upon downtown Atlanta
[Yes, I am aware that only a small part of Dragon Con is music-related. But since I'm a fan of the event, this blog has served as the landing page for DC content the past couple of years. ]

It was a familiar scene in downtown Atlanta Friday evening -- Princess Leia wandering around toting a JanSport backpack, a guy in a head-to-toe fish costume riding the Peachtree Center MARTA elevator, Chewbacca ( well, the kindly Peter Mayhew ) signing autographs on the Walk of Fame...you know, nothing to see here, move along.
At least that's the thinking during Dragon Con weekend .
More than 65,000 fans of sci-fi, comics, animation and gaming are expected to convene this year - the 29th for the ever-growing event -- so be kind if you pass a sweaty Jon Snow on Peachtree Street.
Here is a look at some of the immensely entertaining visual scenes from Friday.
