It’s that time of year again, on June 19th to the 21st the East-Coast will have the opportunity to experience Wizard World in Philadelphia PA.

Being from Philly, I can talk about the first-hand experience of going. You could either drive through lousy Philly traffic then pay an arm and a leg for parking and risk your wheels and sanity, OR you could take the Elevated Train and give Septa (the Transit authority) a couple of bucks to listen to some crazy preaching to you for a half hour. Fun huh?!

So after getting there, you have to survive a …

Another weekend, another convention.  This time it was for BotCon 09, the official Transformers convention held in Pasadena, CA.  This was my first BotCon experience and I really enjoyed it.

Saturday:

We arrived at the Pasadena Convention Center around 1:30 and grabbed a quick bite at Rubio’s Mexican Grill across the street (the taco burger was great). As we were heading back to the convention, we noticed several Transformer’s standees in the shopping center. We took a picture with the standees and a Hasbro employee gave us a Decepticon promo piece that we can …

Zayco, from the Spawn forums is sharing his Australian Pop Culture Expo experience with us.  Highlights from the report include meeting Spawn creator, Todd McFarlane and encountering Heroes’ Hayden Panettiere.  Let’s just say she wasn’t happy to be there.

Here’s Zayco’s full report.

Friday 4/3/05 – Preview Night:
I went to the preview night where they had a charity auction, which was… an experience.  So many greasy sweaty obese nerds dressed as everyone from The Crow, to the Merchant from Resident Evil 4, to Anime Characters.

Saturday 4/4/05
First and most importantly, I approached Todd McFarlane… …

Yes, after months of hibernation, we’re back to bring you yet another NerdSociety video. Anime LA, our first convention of 2009, was held at the LAX Marriott. Originally we planned to host this video on Youtube, but due to the company that owns the music used in this video, we weren’t able to publish it there. Anyway, it was a lot of fun to film and I would like to thank all the sexy cosplaying ladies out there for helping us out and the guys too! And of course, a special thanks to everyone who helped with the making of …

The first con of 2009! Anime LA was held at the LAX Marriott near the LAX airport (I never understood why they chose a place near an airport and a XXX Live Nude Adult store). I was excited to attend the con because it’s our first one in a couple of months. As we were heading into the parking garage, I noticed that there were several cosplayers walking around the area. YES! This won’t be as bad as PMX. Once we’re in, we register, paid $30 per ticket and picked up our badges, took a total of 10 minutes.…

Pacific Media Expo (PMX) is similar event to Anime Expo (AX): experiencing Japanese pop culture, especially Anime. Both events have cosplayers. But this is where the similarities end. While Anime Expo has become a huge event every July 4th weekend, Pacific Media Expo is on its last legs. But just because PMX is on its deathbed, didn’t mean I didn’t enjoy it. …

PMX 08 was small but I enjoyed it for the cool and friendly people we met. Report will be up tomorrow. For now, enjoy the pics! Glamour Con was also holding an event at the same hotel, so we also took some pics of the babes. More pics after the break!

Earlier this month I had the opportunity to attend a local convention by the name of Autumn Dream, at the Lancaster Fairgrounds Poppy Pavilion, October 18-19.

Due to work I was unable to stay the whole event. I will brief you on some quick history of this convention. In previous years this convention has gone by the name of Ani-magic and was held for a typical con period(a full weekend). Due to some unknown force and situations this convention had to be revamped and redone to the current conception.…

Well Blizzcon was an excellent event, better than E for All, that’s for sure. Stay tuned later this week for the convention report. Click on the link below for the gallery.

Thanks to BitMaster for the pics.…
