The ICCC or Imperial Commissary Collectors Convention is a sci-fi and pop culture convention that brings a lot of great convention aspects in a package that’s easy on the budget. Moved out of Nashville where they were busting at the seems, they landed at the Farm Bureau Expo Center just east of the airport in the city of Lebanon which is now where you find the Tennessee State Fair.

The Expo center, formerly the Wilson County Expo, is a 275 acre complex that allowed this hotel bound convention room to grow, having a large center complex for vendors, artists, droid and prop builders as well as large convention set pieces, separate areas for large celeb auto and picture seekers, plus whole buildings devoted to panels, podcasts, covered areas for live bands, lots of food trucks and well there was a demolition derby and helicopter rides. I don’t think you would have seen anything like this at celebration.

I was able to get a press badge from ICCC which gave me some access to the Friday VIP day and was able to talk to a lot more people, over the three days, May 26th to the 28th.

If you are familiar with the podcast, you know then that these types of shows feature guests in small interview portions, since people got stuff to do. I couldn’t talk to everyone, and it seemed like I was gonna try, but I hope with this you get a flavor of the event
