Louisiana Comic Con 2024!

Lafayette, LA

I’ve honestly lost count on how many times I have attended Louisiana Comic Con. What I do know is that every time I’ve attended this event, whether as an attendee or as a panelist, I’ve had a great time. This year’s event featured DJ Qualls, Kim Rhodes, Kevin Nash, Cerina Vincent, Nakia Burrise, and many, many other actors. It also featured some amazing artists and wonderful vendors. The panel lineup was awesome as well.

I attended the event as a panelist and as a representative of Filmsquatch. I arrived early on Saturday morning to set up my table and then made one quick pass around the event to get my bearings for the weekend. When the doors opened on the convention center, wave after wave of attendees came crashing through the fan group area located on the second floor. There were some amazing cosplays by attendees and pros alike, and I cosplayed (I’m using that term loosely) as Pugsley on Saturday and as Charlie Brown on Sunday.

My panel on Saturday, The Cinematic History Of Batman, was the most attended panel that I’ve ever presented. I don’t know the exact number of attendees, but almost all of the chairs in the Mardi Gras Ballroom were full. The audience interacted well with me and appeared to really be enjoying themselves. My Sunday panel, Max Fleischer: Animation Pioneer, had a lighter crowd, but that’s most likely due to the fact that Fleischer is a very specific topic to cover. Those that did attend that panel, however, offered up some great questions and seemed to like the panel. The response to my panels this year have taught me a lot, and I plan on using that information to make my panels better in the future.

Since Saturday was so busy, I didn’t get to leave my table very often. Sunday, however, gave me the chance to cruise around a bit more and I checked out the vendor area. There were so many things that I wanted to purchase, but I settled on a Creature From The Black Lagoon ornament and a Creature air freshener for my car. I also snagged a few books and some cool freebies from the other fan tables. I also did a little networking with other podcasts and hopefully you’ll be hearing the Filmsquatch guys on other podcasts in the near future.

Louisiana Comic Con was awesome this year! They’ve already announced the dates for next year, March 8-9, and you know that I’m gonna be there! I hope that you can make it out as well!

Oh, and props to Liquid Death for providing drinks for panelists!
