A Family Exploring the World of Fandom Together
At Nola Nerd Couple, fan conventions are our passion. We attend fan conventions across the Gulf Coast, Houston, and beyond—including California, Illinois, and the UK—always sharing reports from a fan’s perspective. Our ComicCon-ing 101 series helps newcomers navigate the world of fan conventions with confidence. Since our daughter joined us in 2018, our coverage also highlights the joys and challenges of experiencing fan conventions as a family, from stroller strategies to meeting celebrities and exploring the vendor halls with a curious elementary schooler.

Views: 0April and May are busy times of the year for comic cons and for us. Star Wars Celebration is coming up Easter weekend and in May we will be attending Comicpalooza and MegaCon. Plus, our day jobs are winding down. Since we write extensively about cons that are in driving…
Views: 0Usually, I write these posts as a news item. I might interject some personal thoughts, but mostly I try to keep it formal. Not for this announcement. The Nola Nerd Couple teaches at the same school. So as soon as work was over yesterday, she rushed to find me…
Views: 0 So last week, I highlighted the fact that Rodger Bumpass and Bill Fagerbakke of SpongeBob SquarePants would be attending ComicPalooza. Of course, after I posted that blog, they announce that Tom Kenny, SpongeBob himself, will be attending as well. We are looking at ordering a large poster and…
Views: 0We are really upset we are going to miss this year. Timing was right for us (we do have real jobs that pay money that have to take precedence over we do it because we love it job). The celebrity line up is fantastic and it boasts one of…
Views: 0Star Wars Celebration has added two new people to its ever-growing roster of celebrities that will appear at the convention. Anthony Daniels, the man who is C3-PO, will be attending the con all four days. Riz Ahmed portrayed Bodhi Rook in Rogue One. It’s his character that truly sets the…
