In Episode 7 - Louisville Arcade Expo & Cosplay of the Nerd Louisville podcast, we visit the Louisville Arcade Expo 2016 and discuss cos-play with Goldberry Cosplay and Cindy Thomas of ConGlomeration.

This episode was recorded at Nerd Louisville's roleplaying game event Slur Your Role III on 2/21/2016. We talk with Ariel and Brandon, local nerds, about their experience in Mike's game and their upcoming podcast called CouplaNerds. We also get a chance to thank Devon and Spencer from Games on Tap for their donation that went toward our new podcast mixer and they tell us what Games on Tap has been up to since we ran a story about them after their first meetup last year.

We discuss the recent "blizzard" and what gaming we've been doing, especially our new Slur Your Role events. Jake Lovell and Derek Reese from the ConGlomeration gaming track come onto the podcast and tell us a bit about what ConGlomeration has to offer, how to volunteer to run games, ConGlomeration's guests of honor - notably, Jenna Busch, founder of Legion of Leia - and more. To finish things off, Matt teases us about a possible new gaming store opening in March and Nick at Book & Music Exchange gives us the lowdown on a new boardgame group that meet on Mondays at Kaiju. Big shoutout to Role of the Die, our newest sponsor and sponsor of ConGlomeration.

We get together in honor of the release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Matt runs Amber, Jesse, and Mike through a short scenario. We give a shoutout at the beginning of the podcast to Role of the Die for hosting our game and then the fun begins!

In this installment of the Nerd Louisville podcast, we argue about Wizard World, discuss local gaming groups in and around town, find out Jesse's favorite game (hint: it involves a candy cane forest), and Andy tells us his favorite game store in Louisville thus far after the fifth installment of The Definitive Guide to Gaming Stores in Louisville!
