Kellan and I are two geeks who are in-between conventions and are just worn out from the travel. In this episode, we compare notes on our favorite conventions… from STTC, SDCC, Phoenix Fan Fusion, Emerald City, Soonercon and even a local library con. We also take a deep dive into why geeks get into things like classic TV sitcoms/dramedy and how it relates to our scifi fandom. Prepare for lots of cosplay talk.
