Convention Confessional
Welcome to Convention Confessional. My name is Katy Hunt and for the last 20 years, I have been either going to or working for multiple conventions across the New England area. Some have been very successful and some... well. That’s what this podcast is for, sharing the good memories and the not so good memories. The goal is to bring on guests to share their own stories and hopefully a few Special Guests from time too time to talk about their own run ins.

This week we rant about how to pack a bag for the convention. How things change through the years. From the first con where you have to bring half of creation with you, to 20 years later and you bring pills and underpants to get you through it all. We give some tips, some things you have to pack because it's the rules and some ideas of how to keep yourself organized. We'll see you at Anime Boston 2025!
