Ep. 58: Moon City Con with 417 Gamers

It’s rare we get to geek out with our favorite local con, but Rick Bagwell from 417 Gamers came by to give us a rundown on how a convention is built from the ground up. The man also has a fine nose for beer, so we predictably got along quite well.

Moon City Con 2019 goes from Sept. 6-8th. Get your tickets here: https://www.mooncitycon.com
