Episode Ninety Eight: The Art of Convention Packing

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!
