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.

We spent last Saturday at Bayou Con 2016 in Sulphur Louisiana. Sulphur is about a 3-hour drive from the Nola Nerd Couple Headquarters. Bayou Con was held at the West Cal Event Center. It was a perfect size for Bayou Con, which is a small growing convention. After being to…
Nola Nerd Couple will be at Bayou Con 2016 this weekend in Sulphur, Louisiana. Bayou Con might be a small con but it promises to be a good one.
