Convention Stories: Line Mishaps and Memorable Moments
So I haven’t done convention stories in a while and thought now would be a good time to fix that, but I wanted to do something different and tell a variety of stories all relating to a specific topic. These stories are interesting but not enough on their own to warrant their own post so…

Convention Stories: Not One But Two Earthquakes
Given that it’s 4th of July weekend and I haven’t done a convention story in awhile I thought now would be a good time to do one. I wanted to tell a story that happened around this time but Anime Expo was the only convention I went to that occurred on this weekend. Luckily I…

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.

Convention Stories: When Someone Thought I Was Famous For Two Seconds
So this story happened at Anime Expo in 2019 and in order to explain all the context to what happened here I need to explain this story in three parts. The first part of this story takes place right before the convention began. Due to errors with security I went through the security checkpoint in…

Convention Stories: Anime Impulse the Amazing Convention That I Almost Missed
So it’s no secret that I had a fantastic time at Anime Impulse. It was perhaps one of if not my most enjoyable experience at a convention to date. After all, no convention has indulged my favorite fandom of Fire Emblem anywhere close to this one. What a lot of people don’t know is that…

Convention Stories: My Worst Convention Experience
So if you read the first Convention Story you found out that I obtained a flyer for an event called Fandomfest. Being new to the convention scene I had no understanding of how conventions were ran and this one taught me a valuable lesson on what happens when one is ran poorly. I went with…

Convention Stories: What Started My Love For Conventions
So I’ve been considering doing something like this for a while. After talking about it with a friend of mine on Twitter, @arennorman, a really awesome person and I highly suggest following him and watching his podcasts, I decided on making a part of my blog devoted to specific stories that occurred during my convention…
