Pop Culture Conventions Help us Escape Reality (But Please Bring Deodorant)

  • Summary

  • This week, What the Hype?! looks at the vibrant world of pop culture conventions! Tapping into our personal experiences attending cons like SDCC, NYCC, Harry Potter fan events, Star Wars Celebration, WonderCon, we share the highs and lows of con-going, and why so many people see it as an escape from reality. We also talk about the sense of community and escape that conventions provide, as well as memorable moments from our own con trips (Warning: Do NOT touch Andrew's light saber). Later, we chat about paying to meet and receive autographs from celebrities, and if it feels like fans are being preyed on (Don't be like Eric and take out a cash advance!). To wrap up, we share a list of tips to help you have the best con experience possible.
