There’s something special about discovering a new hangout that takes you back to the days of being a kid, finding that one place where you could spend hours having fun, meeting new people, and making memories. That’s exactly the feeling you get when stepping into Foo Bar in Charlotte, North …

Over 250,000 attendees joined me in celebrating the 20th anniversary of New York Comic Con, the biggest comic celebration on the East Coast. While this isn’t my first NYCC rodeo, this is the first time I attended all four days: Thursday through Sunday. Most conventions have pretty rinse-and-repeat schedules, yet …

Nightmare on Strip Street is exactly what it sounds like—horror’s biggest icons, thrown into a blender with burlesque, comedy, and just the right amount of chaos, and somehow makes it all work.

Getting the chance to attend and experience everything this event had to offer has been …

Documentary Troublemaker – Antoine Fuqua gives us an emotionally turbulent but honest look over the life of Nelson Mandela.
