Lazy Dragon Con

Lazy Dragon Con was a three-day relaxacon held in McKinney, Texas, a northern suburb of Dallas in both 2007 and 2008. Lazy Dragon Con was sponsored by Lazy Dragon LLC, dealers of blades "From Pocketknives to Broadswords," and was not related to the Atlanta-based Dragon Con in any way.

Lazy Dragon Con was a party-oriented convention with informal/minimal programming. This programming included gaming, contests, a dealers' room, video room, parties, and more. Organizers describe the event as "a weekend-long party with friends." The convention provided a relaxed environment for people who enjoy science fiction to meet new friends and talk about their interests.
