Convention Stories: Will Friedle Photobombed my Wife
This is a fun story that goes back all the way to Dragoncon 2016. This was actually the first huge convention that my wife and I went to together and at the time we were just dating and actually got engaged later that same year. One of the people my wife really wanted to see…

Convention Stories: Hotels The Good, the Bad, and the Weird
Hotels are a big part of any convention experience because you want to have a place to stay that is close enough to the venue that you can easily enjoy all the days you plan to spend at the convention. I have had to stay at least one or two nights in a hotel in…

Convention Stories: Comments that Make You go Huh?
When you go to as many conventions as I have you meet a lot of people and I mean a lot of people. Sometimes in passing and sometimes you have full-blown conversations with them and others you’re just a bystander bearing witness to something totally random.

Convention Stories: How Being Kind Got Us a $100 Meal Free
This is actually one of my most recent stories as it took place on the way to Collectivecon 2021. Our group decided to drive to this event and it’s about a 9 to 10 hour drive alone, not including stops and traffic. So needless to say we were going to be pretty worn out by…

Convention Stories: How a Convention Ended With The Police, Trespassing and Lucille.
So this was after C2E2 2018 and oddly enough nothing too crazy or extravagant, other than meeting amazing people, happened during the entire trip. We are about two miles from home at this point and my wife notes that so far nothing odd has happened, to which I agreed. (Big mistake) So when we get…
