Convention Confessional

Pat D showed up for today's episode and understood the assignment.  For Spook-Tacular month, we talked about the original con plague, random patriotic conventions and you won't believe who... well.  You'll just have to tune in to find out the craziest convention story we've ever heard!

Ryan is back again to talk about working haunts during the Halloween season, as well as attending horror conventions to promote!  The story this week is wild and a lesson in keeping your hands to yourself.  Cosplay isn't consent, kids whether you're working in a haunted house, or roaming a convention hall.  People are crazy...

This week, we're kicking off Halloween month with writer and director of the horror short film Cottonmouth Danny Salemme!  Before he was writing about things that go bump in the night, he was a cosplayer.  We talk about first cosplays, working at events at conventions together, while bringing up memories from the past.

On this episode of Convention Confessional, we finally get to sit down with Reüben Mahar, as we talk about PortCon, Moxie, our favorite other podcast Anime Cons TV and an old YouTube show, Reading Ranch.  Many laughs were shared and stories to be told this week!

Colleen aka Mini Mal Cosplay aka Mini Mal FX aka one of the coolest people we know is on this week to talk about cosplaying as a little person, meeting amazing celebrities in costume and their first guest slot at Granite State Comic Con!  They want to stay humble, but we'll fix that real quick.  Have you set up home plate at a Red Sox game in a Wicket costume?  Stories galore!

This week, we've got the lovely Theresa on to talk convention to us.  We touch all kinds of topics!  Cosplay, the past, the present, the 'scandal' of Portcon this year.  As well as some other wonderful moments running around in costume.  And, our host has a special announcement to make! 

Doug is back with us this week to talk about panels!  Hosting them, going to them, trying to go to them and finding out you're about to be running one!  So many tips for people that might want to run a panel for themselves someday in the convention world.

Rhode Island Comic Con, big convention for the tiniest state and boy does it have some amazing and not so amazing moments.  This week, your host shares some experiences which include meeting guests, being trapped in the convention center, and lines for days.  I mean, big name stars, comic creators and... wrestlers you've barely heard of, all in one place!  Tune in for our experience!

This week, we dive into the past with our friend Jim Searle, talking about good times at Connecticon in Hartford, Connecticut.  Tales of wild lines, opening ceremonies and inspiring conversations with voice actors.  Don't worry, there's more where that came from!

We love to talk to new friends and we love talking about conventions that we've never attended before.  However, it is sad to hear some of these cons no longer exist.  However, the stories remain and this week, we welcome out guest Stephen Daugherty to talk about Kraken Con!  So many topics we don't even know which was our favorite!
