This weekend, I will be playing at the Lexington Comic and Toy Convention at the Lexington Convention Center in (are you noticing a pattern yet?) Lexington, Kentucky.

FandomFest 2016 wrapped up an incredibly fun weekend. I first want to think Ken and Myra Daniels for putting on a top notch event. Something this massive is not an easy thing to pull off, but they make it seem like a walk in the park. From our perspective. Thank you. Huge shout out …
