Baltimore’s Universal FanCon was supposed to be one of the biggest fan conventions of the year. For its inaugural event, not only was it crowdfunded through Kickstarter, but it had some majorly awesome programming, guests, and vendors slated. But today, just one week away from the event, the convention was abruptly postponed, leaving attendees demanding […]

Comic conventions are a thing we cover here, but we haven’t covered one quite like Fan2Sea before. This 4-night con has a surprisingly robust guest list for a first year convention- oh, and did we mention it’s on a cruise ship? The entire convention takes place on Royal Caribbean’s Brilliance of the Seas, a ship […]

Better Cup – Facebook – Twitter – Website When I noticed the Better Cup project I was immediately intrigued. If it’s one thing we know well here at the Geekiary, it’s that us geeks can be very socially conscious and politically active about the causes that are important to us.  Combining the two activities seems […]

For a long time, Kawaii Kon was the only geek convention on the island of Oahu.  Though the convention is anime focused, it attracted geeks from all backgrounds as it was the only game in town.  This year we got not one, but two first year “Comic Cons” aimed at other subsections of Geekdom.  The […]

Later this summer – on Saturday, August 8th from 1 PM to 5 PM, to be exact – the Anderson, South Carolina, library is holding its first ever “Comic Con”. Dubbed Electric City Comic Con (based on Anderson’s city nickname), the organizers are referring to it as “EC3”, and they hope it will be the […]

This is the year that myself and many others involved with Ice & Fire Con finally understood one very important thing – we’re less a convention and more a weekend camp for Song of Ice & Fire/Game of Thrones fans. Ice & Fire Con 2015 was version 3.0, and we definitely stepped things up a […]

There’s been increasing controversy around Australian pop culture expo Supanova’s decision to invite outspoken GamerGate supporter Adam Baldwin to conventions. It was announced that Baldwin, who is credited with creating the GamerGate hashtag, had been invited to attended conventions in Sydney and Perth in June, 2015. In response, a petition was created to “Revoke Adam […]

Looking back to the great San Diego Comic Con of 2014, the Exhibit Hall was the most wonderful place. The Exhibit Hall is my favorite area of the SDCC, where dreams come true. Also a place where friendships begin, mighty contests, long hunts, great rewards, rare sights happen. This year, the area was also a place of […]

Here below, are the last of my cosplay pics for the San Diego Comic Con 2014. These are from Sunday, arguably the most crowded full day of the SDCC Exhibit Hall. There was Doctor Who panel (Hall H was line-less and accessible for much of the day), adding to the crowds of people seeking last-minute deals/swag/signings. […]

Supanova Expo in Sydney is always one of my favorite weekends of the year. Sure it doesn’t have the name recognition of events like San Diego Comic Con, but it’s always well organized and a lot of fun. This year was no exception – not only were there a bunch of awesome fans in attendance, […]
