The Bi Line: What I’m Looking Forward To at @ClexaCon Feature from @kleffnotes

Katherine Kleffner

This is my third year going to ClexaCon and the second time that I will be going as press. Last year was the first time my girlfriend, Krista, and I went to ClexaCon together. We met there in 2017, but since we were going as a couple last year we did a lot of intense scheduling and tried to do as much as we could. While some people can survive that I wound up burning myself out trying to do everything I thought I needed to do as press and Krista and I had tried to cram in a lot. This year, while I will still be doing coverage, we’ve decided to tone things down a bit so that we don’t wind up with post con burnout like last year.

Savor the Moment @ClexaCon Special Guest Feature Book Review from @kleffnotes

Katherine Kleffner

Dana Piccoli is well known throughout the queer women community and is a powerful voice within the movement for better LGBTQ+ representation in the media. She is a talented moderator and is a fixture at ClexaCon, having been a moderator there since the convention’s first year and as well as being the voice of their official podcast, UnCONventional.  While not ClexaConning, she is the Managing Editor of Bella Media Channel, but that’s not all. She is now part of the Bella Books author community with her debut book, Savor the Moment. With ClexaCon just next week I sat down and binge read, yes that is totally a thing, so that I could share my thoughts on this sweet and sexy lesbian romance.

Katherine Kleffner

I have mentioned both Ylva Publishing and Sapphire Books on The Nerdy Girl Express, but as a voracious reader I can’t help myself. I just love talking about books and because both of these noted lesbian book companies are part of ClexaCon again this year I wanted to share some of my favorite reads and other books you can find from them to fit any genre.

Katherine Kleffner

For my second Tello Films feature of the month I’ve actually chosen something you’ll be able to see at ClexaCon. As part of the Film Festival they will be screening their short, Alice & Iza. Both leads, much like with Nikki & Nora, have been announced as featured guests for ClexaCon 2019. Mandahla Rose plays Iza and is a returning ClexaCon guest and Guinevere Turner will be there for her first year and plays Alice. This short includes a number of other faces you might recognize including Bridget MacManus, Karmen Kregloe, and so many more.

With ClexaCon coming up next month I had the chance to chat about the convention with the co-runners, Ashley Arnold and Danielle Jablonski. You might recognize these names from a feature I did on ClexaCon London this year. This time we solely focused on the Las Vegas convention and some of the new features that have been included this year. Thank you to Ashley and Danielle for taking the time to answer my questions.

@ClexaCon Film Festival Functional Interview with Daniel Luna and Cheska Bacaltos ( @functionalserie ) from @kleffnotes

Katherine Kleffner

While looking at all of the great web series being screened at ClexaCon I was excited to see some familiar names on the list and jumped at the chance to reach out for an interview. I have chatted with Cheska Bacaltos before about another webseries she worked on, It’s Complicated, and I have seen Daniel Luna in another webseries, which has been featured on this site a number of times, The Leslie. Both of these exceptionally creative people are part of a new webseries that will be debuting at ClexaCon, Functional, and I chatted with them about their parts in the series and what they are looking forward to at the convention this year. All of Cheska’s answers are in italics and Daniel’s responses are kept in standard font.

The Bi Line: Nikki & Nora @ClexaCon Feature from @kleffnotes

Katherine Kleffner

Every year ClexaCon hosts a Film Festival full of diverse LGBTQ+ content and I thought that for my two March Bi-Line articles I would feature some content from one specific company. Tello Films has been a partner and sponsor of ClexaCon since the beginning and this year they are bringing even more content to the convention. This week I wanted to highlight Nikki & Nora, a series that was resurrected by Tello after the original pilot was not picked up by a major network. While this series will not be showing at ClexaCon, the leads will be there. Continue reading “The Bi Line: Nikki & Nora @ClexaCon Feature from @kleffnotes”
