Ten years. Eight seasons. Several weddings. Near countless deaths. And hey, that ending was…something. Here are our thoughts – the good and the bad.
Panelists: Myself, Andrew d’Adesky, Chloe K, Van Allen Plexico
Each year the High Fantasy track chooses an overall theme, and this year was “The Hero’s Journey”. This panel focused on how GRRM uses the traditional Heroes Journey to subvert reader expectations.

With all the hype surrounding Red Dead Redemption 2 this past year or so, I needed there to be an RDR2 panel. Thank you to the Video Gaming track for taking a chance on me (having never worked with them before) and letting myself and my buddy Dean host one!
Panelists: Myself, Dean Newbury

First, this area map was originally created by another attendee to show where photoshoots would be…I made edits to it (removed the yellow photoshoot markers, essentially), but sadly did lose the link to the original (to be fair, it originated from 2013). All that said, there are a lot of downtown Atlanta/Dragon Con maps out there, but hey, here’s another one!
When I first wrote my Dragon Con maps post in 2013, I also gathered screenshots of all the hotel room floors, so keep “reading” to check out those 🙂
Continue readingThis post is quite a bit later than usual, but I was waiting on the final word for several things and only finalized my full Dragon Con 2019 schedule – panels, events, and cosplay – this past week.

CHEERS!
This SDCC 2019 ASOIAF/GoT fan panel focused on fan feelings surrounding season 8, the future of the fandom, and a general Q&A.
You can also read about our panel in the SyFy.com article “Game of Thrones fans air their grievances about Season 8 at SDCC 2019”!
As a huge fan of the Red Dead Redemption games, I was very excited when I heard that Roger Clark and Benjamin Byron Davis would be attending MomoCon in Atlanta. I spent the weekend cosplaying Red Dead (Sadie Adler, specifically, along with my buddy who does an amazing John Marston) and made sure to attend both the Saturday and Sunday panels featuring the actors. This podcast features audio from both panels, though I did remove some repetitive questions/stories to make it…well, more cohesive, sure, but also shorter (and it still clocks in at just over an hour and a half long). Whether you attended the con/these panels or are simply a Red Dead fan, I hope you enjoy – I know I did!
(Side note: I do apologize for the fact that there is some annoying ‘foreground noise’ at certain points. Unfortunately, being in the audience meant that I couldn’t control the noise the people around me made, and I didn’t want to lose too much volume on the moderators and actors when they were speaking.)
