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.

A First for Us Well, the unthinkable happened. During the summer, Star Wars Celebration tickets went on sale. We didn’t purchase any. For the first time since Celebration IV, it looks as if we are missing Star Wars Celebration Anaheim 2020. We don’t want to miss Celebration, but a combination…
