Smoky Mountain Fan Fest 2026 Review: A Slew Of Brilliant Decisions
For a few reasons, I had to skip Smoky Mountain Fan Fest for the first time last year. However, this year I returned, but I had one lingering concern as I ventured to this convention once again. The last time I was here, the Meadowview Convention Center was cramped and challenging to move around in.…

Momocon 2026 Review: I Feel Like The Guy In Spongebob That Says “My Legs”
Momocon is an event I’ve attended several times before, and often because it has someone I really want to see. This year was no different, as it featured the cast of Critical Role, and Matt Mercer was someone I really wanted to sign my Fire Emblem poster. The main difference in this trip was that…

Lexington Toy and Comic Con 2026 Review: A Lot Of Fun, But The Crowd Is A Problem
I took a hiatus from this event a year ago due to the price, but after looking at the changing dynamic of conventions, I’ve come to realize that there’s simply a new normal for convention budgeting. So, factoring that in, I decided to splurge and return to a convention that I’ve attended more than any…

Bluegrass Gaming Con 2026 Review: An Incredible Event For The Local Board Game Community
Convention season is here, and I’ve attended my first event of 2026. Wanting to change things up a bit, I ended up going to the first year of a board game convention, which was, fortunately, close to home. I’ve played board games at conventions, but have never attended one entirely devoted to them, so this…

Vendor Spotlight: Chunky Tomato Art
One of the things I love about traveling to conventions far away from home is the ability to meet all kinds of new creators. One of the ones I met in my trip to LA Comic Con was an artist named Chunky Tomato. Now I was familiar with their Vtuber persona prior to the trip…

Convention Rankings 2025
Once again, it’s time to rank the conventions that I went to. However, this year we’re going to see some major changes. First, we have a large reduction in the number of events I attended. I think last year I went to 15 conventions and only about seven this time around. Everything is fine, I’m…

Yama Con 2025 Review: A Slew Of Changes Both For The Better And Worse
Yama Con has quickly become a bit of a comfort event for me. It’s a great way to meet up with friends while getting some anime merch and spending time at local attractions. I went into this thinking I’d write another review similar to the last two; however, with an owner change, we have some…

Waifucon 2025 Review: A Successful Debut
Here is an event that has a couple of firsts. It’s the first year for the convention and my first ever 18+ event. Wanting to try something new I decided to make the five hour drive (because if you’ve been following awhile you know I don’t fly to first year cons anymore). I went into…

Convention Story: Ming Rides Again
Another year at Chattanooga Comic Con means another wild and crazy adventure with Ming Chen of Comic Book Men. At this point it becomes a question of how do we keep raising the bar on these adventures. We’ve traveled the streets of Chattanooga on a Trolley and enjoyed movie quality pizza with stars of all…

Chattanooga Comic Con 2025 Review: I Conquered Everything But The Bull
Chattanooga Comic Con is an event that consistently treats me very well and is close enough to home to make this an event I attend every year. Even after deciding to cut back on the number of events I go to there was never any doubt I’d come back here. Speaking of number of events…
