Mont Belvieu, TX
Since all of my time last month was dedicated to Thirty-One Days O’Horror, I didn’t get to tell you wonderful folks about some other events that I attended in October. Today I will play a bit of “catch-up” on one of the events and later on I’ll address another amazing event that I attended. Today’s focus is on Nerd Con, which took place in Mont Belvieu, TX on October 21st.
Nerd Con was a one-day, absolutely free event to attend that, in all honesty, offered a lot more than many pop culture conventions that do charge admission offers fans. There were artists, writers, voice actors, and two actors that starred in some of my favorite 80s and 90s shows and films. There were also panels, fan groups, collectibles, and tons of other things to check out at the event.
I met two of my favorite actors in the world at Nerd Con. Keith Coogan (Don’t Tell Mom The Babysitter’s Dead, Adventures In Babysitting, The Fox And The Hound, Cheetah) was an amazing dude, taking silly pictures with fans and amping up the nostalgia big time! Marc Price (Skippy from Family Ties, Trick Or Treat, The Rescue) was also an amazing guy. We talked about Mt. Rainier, Bigfoot, and, of course, Family Ties. I also had a great time chatting with John Morris, Andy from the Toy Story films. All three of these guests and everyone else that I talked with were excellent.
The venue where Nerd Con was held was also wonderful. The Eagle Pointe Recreation Complex featured ample parking, beautiful scenery, and some excellent food as well. Oh, and since I was in that part of Texas (and literally fifteen minutes away), I had to go to Buc-ee’s in Baytown! I even got to meet the beaver himself!
All in all, this was a great event that I intend on adding to my regular schedule. Be sure to visit their website and if possible, attend the event next year! I’ll definitely be there!
Thanks for checking out my post. I’ll have another this weekend!
