From Paris to Chicago, it’s been a crazy week. I find myself at one of the largest cons in the Midwest on its busiest days! This episode takes you to the heart of Hall 2A at C2/E2, even though we started in parking lot B. 

Even with some jet lag and a more subdued schedule I still managed to run into some old friends and make a couple new ones. One the program:

Returning guests:

Victor from @Fandads

Nicole Marhenke from @Peaceloveandfandoms 

Todd Hoffman from @bigtlilt & @wstrmedia

And new to the program: 501st Star Garrison member 

James Clevenger  @cl3v3ng3r. 

We wrap by talking about a newer con in Joliet that has its second show later this September, FAME. We speak with Angelos Storino who’s with the Digital Media Studio of Joliet public library
