Convention Confessional

Episode Fifty Six: Someone Gave Me Underwear

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.

Episode Fifty Five: Somewhere, Doug Is Screaming

Reüben came back  for another week of chatting it up!  We talked about power moves with meeting guests, fake birthdays and when they're not appropriate, a secret Disney character mafia and then rattled off some wrong Star Wars facts.  Sorry, Doug.

Episode Fifty Four: I Wanna Be Where The Cosplayers Are

We're kicking off our second year on the air, with our lovely friend Jeannette!  She's been cosplaying for almost two decades and came on to share cosplay plans, her love of Chocobos, stories of competing in Masquerades and more!  But also, Blaze.  Also how stoked we are about Anime Boston coming up for the first time since the panorama started. 

Episode Fifty Three: One Year, Twenty Questions

IT'S OUR ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY!  And we wouldn't be anywhere without a little help from our friends.  We've brought back Jess, Elizabeth, Doug, Patrick and Rob to play a game of 20 questions: Convention Edition.  Some more sage advice from people that have been through it and a little tea, because who doesn't love some gossip?  We also announce the winner of the 3,000 downloads contest!  Thanks to everyone who has kept up with the show and listened a whole year.  We're just getting started!

Episode Fifty Two: And I Am Here For The Food

Amanda Graves comes on this week and we're super excited about going back to Anime Boston this year!  We work together in the Cosplay/Masquerade Department and talked about helping people navigate through their judging and going on stage.  We also talk about massive costumes we've seen in the past and how excited we are for all the food we've missed out on the last two years- I MEAN CONVENTION THINGS.  All the things!

Episode Fifty One: RBF That Rivals My Own

Jason Kiss is on this week and we're talking about some less than ideal convention circumstances, basement dwellers who never cosplay making people feel bad about their costumes, working together on a show on YouTube and conventions we don't think we've heard about.  He also mentions a great organization he works with, Las Vegas Cause-Players Alliance.  Make sure to go support them and check out all the great work they do for the kids in their area!

Episode Fifty: Give Me Something To Sing About

Don't say it, sing it!  It's a musical!  This week, Ryan has come back to talk about that which was the Connecticon Musical (not affiliated).  What worked, what didn't work, people just trying to have a good time and way too many directors.  Truly a good, bad and ugly story if we've ever heard one.

Episode Forty Nine: TB-15000

Doug's back and it's all about Star Wars cosplay!  Doug is a member of the 501st Legion, New England garrison and when he's not helping at charity events, he's at conventions or out in the snow almost getting trapped on Hoth without a Tauntaun.  Bad guys, doing good.  This is the way.

Episode Forty Eight: East Coast Vox Machina

We're so excited for the release of The Legend of Vox Machina this weekend, that we couldn't help but share some of our favorite moments in Critical Role cosplay.  We talk about meeting voice cast members, dressing up as our favorite characters and just what a wonderful community this DnD show has created and brought together.  This episode is NOT sponsored, but if you're listening to this Matt Mercer, our DM's are open.

Episode Forty Seven: Masquerade Bingo

La Vie Cosplay, Elle and Ashlyn came on the show this week to talk about midwest conventions, hosting events and masquerade, cosplay, being the US reps for ICL for the last two years (thanks COVID) and their podcast Sh*t Cosplayers Say!
