• Convention Stories: I Believe I Can Fly

  So more often than not I drive to the conventions that I go to but in rare situations, I do book a flight because some trips are just too far away to easily do in a car and I only have so much vacation time.  Now most of these flights actually wind up going very…

• Convention Stories: Friend Nearly Got Us Into a Car Wreck

  So this was a fairly recent story and involved our return trip from Anime Weekend Atlanta 2022.  To set the scene my friend was driving because we made an agreement that if they didn’t have to spend anything for the hotel then they drove to the event.  Which normally works out very well but unfortunately…

  For this story, we go back to Anime USA 2019 and at this event, they held a family feud-style panel. Now I wasn’t sure what was supposed to happen but to my understanding, it was supposed to be volunteers versus each other and then the guests, but what actually happened was for one round a…
