A Family Exploring the World of Fandom Together
The Nola Nerd Couple attends Comic Cons whenever and wherever we can. We love reporting on them from a fan’s point of view. We have also created a new series called ComicCon-ing 101 aimed at fans who are new to attending these types of conventions. While we tend to focus on the Gulf Coast and Houston areas for our conventions, we have done cons in California, Illinois, and the United Kingdom.
In 2018, comiccon-ing drastically changed for us when we had the Nola Nerd Baby. Strollers are great for carrying items but terrible for walking around on a busy day. Also, now that she is mobile, walking around with her brings a new set of challenges. So now our reports on specific cons will have a section dealing with these issues.

One of our favorite pastimes at Star Wars Celebration is seeing people cosplay. From the thrown together ones to the extremely detailed, they are all done with love of a true fan at heart. We love the mash-ups and the by the book accurate. Here are the pictures we took…
Star Wars Celebration Orlando has come and gone. We had some amazing experiences and frustrating ones as well. We talk about all the things we love and the things we didn’t like at Celebration. Luckily, the bad things didn’t ruin it for us (even though I’m not sure that was…
Our first two days of Star Wars Celebration were spent just getting autographs. It was a tiring, grueling, and often frustrating experience. By Saturday, we needed a break from the long lines and the disorganization (more to come on our podcast comprehensive review of Star Wars Celebration). This also meant we…
