Wizard World New Orleans 2016 – Nerd Fu Reporting for Duty

2016 is here and it’s time for our first big convention – Wizard World New Orleans.  We’ve been talking about this one on our podcast for months already and the weekend is finally here.  Steve and Sully, along with our friend Veronica (Roni) from Nerdy Curiosities, will load up and head out across Texas and into Louisiana for a nerdy adventure.

Our goal at the convention is to bring the action to you! We’ll comb the show floor, attend the panels & try to meet some of the celebrities in attendance and share updates to our social channels as the weekend progresses.  We hope you’ll follow along and interact with us along the way.
