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.

More Guests Announced! Last week, I started to write an update to Celebration. During the middle of it, I had to bend over in pain. A hernia has made an appearance. This has made it hard keeping up with Star Wars Celebration. In fact, I said I was taking off…
