I may be getting older. Convention recovery has moved from a one day affair to an almost week long malaise. I'm finally getting back into the normal routine of life and work now. I'm going to do a write up on Colorado Anime Fest soon. Later, I'll start editing the podcasts in order to post them starting next week. For now, let's talk about what I've been doing in my recovery free time.
Read MoreIt is almost mid-March, and that means con season is starting to swing up for the year! The first convention that we are going to be attending this year is Colorado Anime Fest now in it's third year. Being held between March 23 - 25 at the Renaissance Denver Stapleton Hotel (same location as previous years) has 7 guests this year, plus the boat load of content that continues to expand each year.
Read MoreWe're at the Gunbarrel Brewery Pop-Up Comic-Con today. Come on down and check out what these artists have on offer. It's located at 7088 Winchester Circle near Boulder. Have a great day!
The first Daku Con is in the book folks, and it has been immortalized in photos!
Hello again. We are coming again to the end of the convention. I hope everyone has had a good time at this new convention. Due to short opening hours today, I only had time to get to two panels, but I think they were both highly informative. And, we finally spent some time looking at the other artists' booths. Let's talk about some panels first.
Read MoreHello again everyone! Here's a report from Saturday at DakuCon. The convention is maintaining its small size, but is definitely busier here today. The attendee level feels appropriate for the size of the venue and people seem to be enjoying themselves a lot. I attended some more panels today, so let's talk about that first.
Read MoreHi everyone! The first day at DakuCon is drawing to a close, and it has certainly been a fun time so far. First year conventions are always a bit of an unknown and a risk, but the staff here seems very organized and prioritizing the attendee experience.
Read MoreWow, can you believe it is already November? And with the second to last month of the year comes the last (or at least the last I am aware of) convention of the season, Daku Con. What is Daku Con you might ask? Well it is a first year geek convention that is 18+. The convention is going to be held at the Radisson Hotel Denver Southeast (I-225 and S. Parker) on 11/10 - 11/12.
OK, so now you have the base details. Your first question may be, why an 18+ convention? To answer that question I am going to reference the front page of the Daku Con website.
Read MoreLast weekend Dreamhack hosted their first event here in the Mile High City. And it was a blast. Games were played, prizes were won, it was a great time. A full write up is coming soon, but I managed to finish getting pictures up first, so huzzah! The full gallery can be found here.
Read MoreHey, what are you doing this weekend? Going to relax at home, play some video games? Sounds like a pretty chill weekend. But what you could do is buck off that non-social stigma that people like to think gamers have. Instead of playing games in your home alone, play them at the National Western Center! That is right, DreamHack is this starting at 9:00 AM for BYOC load-in and running to Sunday at 6:00 PM. That is pretty much 3 days of solid gaming.
