I never went to camp. Well, I went to music theater camp for years as a kid, but that was in an air conditioned theater and I was out by 4 p.m. every day. The whole go out into the woods for summer camp with other kids was not a […]

I Survived DashCon 2014 and All I Got Was An Extra Hour In The Ball Pit
Yes. The rumors are true. I went to DashCon. In fact, out of the four cons I was an official media person at this spring (and the other two I wrote about after attending anyway), DashCon was one of the earliest confirmations I got, second only to Katie Mae of […]

HeroesCon Reminded Me of Why I Love Comics
It really felt like the world was against me going to HeroesCon this year. I was denied for a press pass around the same time Therese and Sam got approval for San Diego Comic Con, WeLoveFine never got back to me about volunteering at their booth for the weekend, and […]

In its 10th year, MomoCon expands into something more
It’s weird to think that there was ever a time in Atlanta that MomoCon didn’t exist. In ten short years, the con has grown to a little free convention put on by Georgia Tech’s anime club to a full blown animation and gaming con that attracts people from around country. […]
