My First Time at @FlameCon ( @GeeksOUT ) from @kleffnotes

Katherine Kleffner

This past weekend  I had the pleasure of attending FlameCon for the first time ever. I won’t get into to much detail about my full trip to New York in this article, but I will say that I was in the city for about 24 hours and was only able to attend Saturday of the convention due to scheduling commitments back home. As someone who has never attended Flame Con before I went in knowing just the basics of this year’s convention: it had moved to Time’s Square for this first time and that a number of guests, a number of whom were comic book connected, had been announced. Krista, my girlfriend and writer for StarryMag, had been tapped to do some press and had urged me to also apply to go. I decided I would just roll with whatever happened, since the trip would be so short, and even though I wasn’t there long I had an amazing time.
