April 21st-23rd, 2017, two women took to the road in a Toyota Corolla with a mission: to do as much badass stuff as possible at Silicon Valley Comic Con in San Jose, California. They saw the likes of John Cusack and Buzz Aldrin, learned about NASA and SETI, interviewed professional cosplayers Wasteland Exports, Abby Darkstar, and Kit Quinn, laughed at the tales of Robert Englund's villainous exploits, revisted the skies with Gina Torres, and creepily fangirled over Nichelle Nichols from a safe distance. We were those two women. Boost your Con Karma by listening to this episode of The Ladies of Nerditude.

What's all the hype about? Why does everyone else love this thing?! Sometimes, you try to get into a show, fandom, universe, film, or book, but you end up just not liking it.
