CyPhaCon 2014!
Lake Charles, LA Deep in southwest Louisiana, in the growing city of Lake Charles, there is a convention that takes place every year that is something of an anomaly. It’s called CyPhaCon, and it has done something that very few fan-run cons in similar (and in some cases, larger) markets have achieved: It’s thriving and growingContinue reading “CyPhaCon 2014!”
The Discount Dark Knight Rises (At 3Topia)

Looking Like Thor By The Summer
Lake Charles, LA Thor is a character that I’ve loved since I was a youngster. He’s never really been the it hero for me, but he’s always flying around with Mjolnir in the background. What’s not to like about the guy? He’s a little bit cocky yet still has a down to Earth (technically I thinkContinue reading “Looking Like Thor By The Summer”
