The Bi Line: Flame Con 2019 Recap from @kleffnotes

Katherine Kleffner

This was only my second year at Flame Con, but just like last year my weekend visiting the convention was a bit of a whirlwind. For the first time I was actually able to travel with Krista, she also covered Flame Con for The Nerdy Girl Express this year, and we left ridiculously early on Saturday the 17th and we left very early on Sunday the 18th. While she and I both live in New York state now, we had very specific trains to catch in order to get back to where we live, which is practically in Canada.

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.
