Connecticon is in full swing! The Connecticut Convention Center is currently flooded with otakus from every corner of the geekdom. From gamers to anime enthusiasts, there’s something for everyone. There’s even a Kid Zone where you can spare your children of the embarrassment of watching their parents dork out over some dudes spot on Star Trek cosplay.

I also had the pleasure of sitting in on a couple press conferences with voice actor Courtenay Taylor as well as actor/stuntman Martin Klebba. I will be writing separate articles about those meetings. But for now I will let you know that they are incredible people with incredible stories.

This Sunday is the last day of Connecticon. So I highly recommend hauling a** over here and geek out with the rest of us!

Well, it’s officially March which signifies the unofficial beginning of Spring! That means convention season is upon us.

From coast to coast, and country to country, geeks and nerds alike are gearing up for anime events that will make or break their favorite series. From early Spring to late Summer, cons and expos are a dime a dozen. Conventions are the ideal place to find information that you need on current as well as up and coming anime. Questions such as, “will there be a season 2,” “will the movie adaptation live up to the anime or manga,” and “which voice actors will lend their talents to the dub,” may be answered.

These conventions are also incredible platforms for up and coming manga writers as well as animators. So, if you believe that you have an incredible idea to share, attending a convention or expo is the way to go. Anime expositions as well as conventions allow creators of every experience level to showcase their talents to the public.

An added bonus to attending one of these geek infested soirées is that you may make new friends and form lasting relationships while fighting through the (usually large) crowds.  So, if you’re looking for a convention near you to attend, look no further! You can find a list of conventions here. God speed and geek out!
