CoastCon 2024!

Biloxi, MS

I finally got the chance to return to one of my favorite conventions this year. CoastCon 2024 was a great event and I attended as a representative of Filmsquatch! I arrived on Friday afternoon and quickly set up my table. I got to meet a ton of great folks including many young filmmakers interested in submitting films to the Lake Charles Film Festival (which I’m also a part of at the moment). The rest of the evening was spent catching up with a few good friends that I haven’t seen in a long time.

I went to The Reef for supper on Friday night. It’s one of my favorite restaurants in Biloxi. I had a Let It Riptide drink to “settle my nerves” for the evening and headed to my hotel room at the South Beach Hotel in Biloxi. I chilled out for the rest of the night and woke up refreshed and ready for Day Two of CoastCon! I spent the entire day talking with more folks and managed to squeeze in a little time in the vendor area. I also ran into more friends and got to hang out with them for a little bit.

I hit my favorite souvenir shop in Biloxi, Sharkheads, on Saturday evening and tried Snapper’s Seafood Restaurant for the first time. The food was awesome! I highly recommend the Gulf Club Wrap. I’ll definitely be going back there on my next trip to Biloxi.

I spent Sunday at CoastCon in full cruise control mode. The crowd was really great, especially for a Sunday. I visited with more of my friends, checked out the vendor area, and had a mimosa for breakfast at the convention. It was a very laid back day. That’s what I love the most about CoastCon. It’s a true Southern Gulf Coast event that is laid back, fun, and easy to enjoy.

Another great thing about CoastCon is the fact that it’s in Biloxi! I skipped out a little early on Sunday afternoon and cruised the beach for a bit before the long trip back home. CoastCon was great this year and I hope that I can attend again in 2025!

If you haven’t attended CoastCon, I recommend that you do so as soon as possible. It has gaming, fantasy, science fiction, and more in one convenient and beautiful location. You can catch representatives for CoastCon at multiple events across the Gulf South. They are eager to get you prepared for their next event, so be sure to tell them hello at an event near you!
