A Family Exploring the Worlds of Fandom Together
Welcome to our Pensacon coverage!
Founded in 2013, Pensacon has become the premier comic book and pop culture convention in Pensacola and the Gulf Coast, known for its welcoming atmosphere and incredible variety. Every time we attend, we’re blown away not just by the amazing guests, creative cosplay, and multi-genre events but also by the inclusive, community-driven spirit that sets Pensacon apart. Their mission—to create a safe, fun, and all-inclusive environment for every fan—truly shines through.
Our Pensacon coverage shares highlights from panels, guest encounters, and unique experiences both at the con and around beautiful Pensacola. Whether you’re a seasoned attendee or planning your first visit, you’ll find tips, stories, and local recommendations to make your Pensacon adventure unforgettable!
These are the panels you are looking for… While we started going to fan conventions to collect autographs, the part of the con I truly love is panels. Our autograph collection is large, so I don’t have to spend as much time in the autograph rooms as I used to.…
Cancellations Happen One problem every convention has to handle is cancellations. It’s hard for fans because they are the main attraction for lots of con goers. However, these people also have to pay rent. While most love going to conventions, it supplements their income. Acting is still what pays the…
Pensacon has grown over the years into a full-featured pop culture experience, and one of our favorites. For one weekend in February, it takes over all Downtown Pensacola. No matter how big Pensacon grows, it always remembers comic books help start the fan festival craze. So, today, we are going…
Pensacon is a fantastic pop culture convention. We love it. It is a small regional event. Yet, it functions as smooth as any huge convention in any major city (more about this in a later write-up). Their line-up is stellar. The schedule is non-stop. Today, we will look at cosplay…
…Indiana Jones. I always knew someday you’d come walking back through my door. Indiana Jones is one of my favorite movie trilogies. That’s right I’m ignoring the Crytsal Skull – how is a movie with Cate Blanchett bad? I digress. The Indiana Jones Guests at Pensacon 2019 is stellar. No, of…
If you read the blog, then you know that Star Wars is our #1 fandom. But did you know that we like other fandoms too? Crazy, I know! Two of our favorite fandoms will be at Pensacon 2019! Doctor Who and Harry Potter are two other huge franchises that we…
Star Trek Officers at Pensacon 2019 Star Trek at Pensacon 2019 has two of the biggest names from the Star Trek series. In fact, it will have a Captain and an Executive Officer. William Shatner will be at Pensacon! The best part about Shatner at a con is the stories…
Pensacon and The Nola Nerd Baby If you are a reader of our blog, then you know that last year, the day before Pensacon started, I gave birth to my beautiful daughter. Needless to say, my husband nor I were able to attend (although we did send our correspondent, Nola…
Monthly, we try to update you on the cons in driving distance (These are the cons we know about….let us know if we are not covering a con that is near New Orleans!). Louisiana Comic Con (The CajunDome, Lafayette, October 6&7): New guests for this con include: Comic creator: Tone…
