A Family Exploring the World of Fandom Together
Sharing Fandom Adventures with Fellow Nerds & Families
Hey fellow nerds! We’re the Nola Nerd Couple—a family of lifelong fans, teachers, and travelers living just outside New Orleans. For over a decade, we’ve attended and reported from conventions all across the U.S. and beyond: from Comic Cons in New Orleans, Philadelphia, Chicago, Houston, and Orlando, to Star Wars Celebrations in Anaheim. We have even attended comic events in London. We know what it’s like to plan family trips around fandom, wrangle cosplay schedules, and find the best eats near the show floor.
On this site, you’ll find:
- Real-world convention reviews and guides (from a family perspective)
- Tips for making any con, fest, or fandom event fun and manageable for all ages
- Parenting and teaching adventures with a nerdy twist
- Stories from our travels, our NOLA neighborhood, and wherever fandom takes us
- Our ComicCon-ing 101 helps guide you to having a successful comic con!
