Convention Confessional

Ever attend ConnectiCon?  Remember those trailers that aired for all the big events?  Bet you didn’t know I was involved with filming them.  And Ryan was there as well!  Leading the line of our little group of Masquerade HQ.  This week is all about the trailers for the shows and we decided which ones were our favorites and which ones were our least favorites.  You can catch (almost) all of them on the YouTube page:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9g0XhZfOj_vT0HJY25Njww

We're back with some more 'bad' roommate stories.  First, about roomies that disappear in the night.  But not without trying to burn the hotel down and second, a tale of what happens when you try and put too many people in one room.  We still don't think anything beats our first bad roommates episode, but we'll let you be the judge of that!

YOU GUYS WE DID THE THING!  After two long years, we went to our first anime convention and we wanted to tell you guys ALL ABOUT IT!  From working, to roaming around, it was just like coming home.  Thanks to everyone that made Anime Boston 2022 special and came to our first (of we hope many) LIVE shows!

Is it perfect?  No, but we still wanted to share our first live show with everyone!  Thanks so much to Anime Boston for having us and thanks to those that came out to share!  Wait till you hear the one that won... we might just need them on to give us more than the five minute version.

Lantis is back in our right before the convention episode!  Where neither of us really have time, coming off meetings, working full time jobs, but hit that level of pre-con insanity that recording just felt right.  We talk about troubles and woes in traveling and everything going on this weekend for ANIME BOSTON!  Make sure to come to our live show FRIDAY NIGHT!

We're back this week after our 'week' off... three weeks off... OKAY WE'RE SORRY!  Life comes at you pretty fast and with moving and moving and well, you get the picture, we thought this week we'd talk about some packing woes when it comes to packing for the con!  Also, we have the information for our LIVE SHOW at Anime Boston next weekend!

Ken Irons is on this week to talk about our time hosting masquerades together. Favorite costumes, favorite moments, which turned into talking about Critical Role and meeting voice actors, friends of those voice actors and Ken thinking that Sam Riegel is his biggest fan.

Rob is back for the continuing story of the next year at Anime Boston, cosplaying as Lynx from Chrono Cross.  Because for your second costume, you learn full prosthetics, large weapon making and... who am I kidding?  Of course that's normal.  It also just happens to be the 20th anniversary of the game being released this year!  (Not Sponsored)  We also got into artist alley tables and a web comic.  Yes, there used to be  web comic.

Xan from Xan Spiraken Review Podcast came on this week with some tales of his own!  Everything from bad roommates, waiting on an engagement ring, Lupin the Third cosplay, panels, panels, panels and going to a police station in zombie make-up!  Phew!  So much going on this week, make sure to tune in!

It's a short episode this week, but we were so inspired by another interview we did talking about hosting and conventions coming up, we thought it would be a great idea to share a few quick stories of some of our past hosting experiences!  Plus a special guest star popping in to say hello this week.
