In this issue of David, we are amping up for the upcoming Dragon Con, taking place on Labor Day weekend. Dragon Con fandom has long provided queer people with a place to explore identity, community, and self-expression, and Dragon Con’s embrace of that culture is particularly meaningful in a city with such a strong LGBTQ+ presence. We also welcome Scott King back to the pages, and in this installment of The Land Before Time, he bridges the gap between gay life before and after the Internet by discussing the simple art of... going out! And finally, we take a Pride Journey with Joey Amato to Walla Walla, Washington, where we're served wine, welcome, and a little bit of metal. That and so much more in this issue of David.
