CyPhaCon 2016!

Lake Charles, LA CyPhaCon celebrated its sixth year in 2016 this past weekend and, as usual, it was an excellent event.  Although I spent most of my time at the USS Lafitte table, I managed to attend two panels, hosted one panel, and also got to meet the wonderful Nana Visitor of Star Trek:  DeepContinue reading “CyPhaCon 2016!”

Hattiesburg, MS Over the weekend I took a road trip to Hattiesburg, MS for the first ever Southern Geek Fest.  It was an excellent event put on by Rafe White, Tim Nicholas, and a wonderful group of local and not-so local volunteers.  There was an excellent mix of vendors, authors, comic artists, celebrities, and cosplayers.Continue reading “Southern Geek Fest!!!”

Southern Geek-Fest!!!

One Month Away!

Disney World!!!!!

The Happiest Place On Earth!

Louisiana Comic Con 2015 (Lafayette Edition)

Lafayette, LA For a city that has been growing rapidly over the past few years, Lafayette has yet to attract a solid pop culture convention.  Sure, there have been a few fan-run conventions, but they seem to be primarily focused on anime (LouisiAnime is a prime example).  While there’s nothing wrong with having an anime-centricContinue reading “Louisiana Comic Con 2015 (Lafayette Edition)”

The Coast With The Most!

Live Long And Prosper…..

The Final Frontier In my life there have been very few celebrity deaths that have affected me in any way.  Sure, many famous people have died whose deaths shocked me, saddened me, or made me reflect on their careers and personal lives.  A couple of deaths deeply saddened me and almost made me cry.  DeForestContinue reading “Live Long And Prosper…..”
