Welcome to Nola Nerd Couple - A Family Exploring the World of Fandom Together

Nola Nerd Couple is your family’s guide to the world of fandom, sharing real convention tips, travel stories, and parenting adventures from lifelong geeks on the Gulf Coast.

Sharing Fandom Adventures with Fellow Nerds & Families

For over a decade, we’ve attended and reported from conventions all across the U.S. and beyond: from Comic Cons in New Orleans, Philadelphia, Chicago, Houston, and Orlando, to Star Wars Celebrations in Anaheim. We have even attended comic events in London.

We know what it’s like to plan family trips around fandom, wrangle cosplay schedules, and find the best eats near the show floor. That’s why we share family comic con tips, fandom travel guides, and nerdy parenting stories from our adventures across the U.S. and beyond.

On this site, you’ll find:

  • Real-world convention reviews and guides (from a family perspective)
  • Tips for making any con, fest, or fandom event fun and manageable for all ages
  • Parenting and teaching adventures with a nerdy twist
  • Stories from our travels, our NOLA neighborhood, and wherever fandom takes us
  • Our ComicCon-ing 101 helps guide you to having a successful comic con!

For Conventions & Event Organizers

Nola Nerd Couple brings authentic, family-based coverage to conventions and fan events. We earned press credentials and provided in-depth, positive coverage for:

What we offer conventions:

  • Honest, family-focused event reviews and guides
  • Tons of previews from different points of view (kid-friendly (our major focus), according to fandom, etc.)
  • Reviews of the con and often of how it makes us view the city
  • Discussions of what families need to do to get through a convention while keeping their sanity
