A Nerd Turns Forty

On Top Of The Hill And About To Go Over I recently turned forty years old.  It’s something that I highly suggest all people do at least once in their lives.  For some it’s just another trip around the sun.  For others, it’s an opportunity to reflect on the life that they have lived andContinue reading “A Nerd Turns Forty”

T-Minus One Month And Counting…

Space City, Houston, Texas A few years ago I decided to go on a solo adventure to the Galleria in Houston, TX for a first year convention that featured such guests as Nichelle Nichols of Star Trek:  TOS, Bonnie Piesse of the Star Wars prequels, and Joseph Gatt of Game of Thrones, Thor, Star TrekContinue reading “T-Minus One Month And Counting…”

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!”

Southern Geek Fest!!!

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!

It’s Con Season!!!!

Lake Charles, LA Sure, sure, plenty of folks have already turned on their geek in 2016 at Wizard World New Orleans, but for me, con season doesn’t really start until April 2nd, whenever myself and tons of other geeks meet up for the first ever Southern Geek-Fest put on by, you guessed it, Southern Geek. Continue reading “It’s Con Season!!!!”

End Of The Year Review

Adios, 2015 This post is going to be long, so be prepared.  It won’t bother me one bit if you jump ahead to the stuff that interests you the most.  Feel free to do so. 2015 was a pretty good year for me.  I met a myriad of awesome people (celebs and plain janes likeContinue reading “End Of The Year Review”

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)”
