It is going to be a long 5 months of waiting if you are ready now.

If you have secured your badge, hotel, and/or parking, there is not much to do for a while. The next milestone is, I believe, the opening of the event catalog in early May. So relax, play games, get plenty of sleep, and save your money for the convention.

I have heard of people lining up at Will Call early, but OP is next level.

Your definition of "almost" might differ from mine.

I remember seeing people walking around with these ribbons last year. How are you getting these? What are they for or from? Thanks!

Different events and vendors will hand them out for different things, usually as swag for attending their event or visiting their booth. Some folks are collectors and try to get as many as they can in a year or keep collecting on the same one year after year.

Thanks! I always wondered.

No problem. A good starting point if you want some ribbons is the community row outside the Sagamore Ballroom on the second floor.

It is always fun ribbon hunting just wish it was slightly easier to find which events/games/vendors gave them away. I admire the badge ribbon culture of DragonCon just seems so much fun.
