Find us at No Brand Con 2016!

So we’re heading to No Brand Con tomorrow in the Wisconsin Dells. As per normal, we’re bringing the full show of awesomeness, and Pher and Nick are doing their Otaku Tonight thing too… so yeah it’ll be fun.

And I totally copied that first paragraph from our post about this from last year. I mean, with a tweak to the city name, but still.

All con long, you can stop by the Nerd & Tie Expo table and register for our upcoming convention in Eau Claire, WI. Pher will be there most of Friday and Saturday, and Nick and Trae will be there at various points throughout the weekend. Some of the Nerd & Tie team you never see publicly will be there too — and they want to be your best friends.

Nick and I (Trae) will be scattered throughout the Artist Alley as well, so you should stop by their tables and say hello. It’s fun. But besides random table sitting, we’re doing panels too. Here’s our full schedule!

First and foremost, we know what everyone reading this page wants to know about first.

• Nerd & Tie LIVE! Sat. 9:00pm Panel Room One
  Join Pher, Nick and Trae for a live recording of the Nerd & Tie podcast! Also joining us this episode is special guest host Gen Prock! Just because! Also, Pher thinks he’ll be sober this time around. Let’s find out if he’s right!

Besides the big show, we’re all doing other stuff. Here’s where:

  Want to learn to podcast but you’re broke? Join me for an hour and I’ll teach you how. By the end of it, I’m sure you’ll be at least a little less confused.
   
• Webcomics A to Z Sat. 10:00pm Panel Room One
  Hey, I do webcomics! Hey I want to teach you how to do webcomics too! In a panel that I didn’t expect to be in the middle of the night, join me as I walk you through all the stuff you need to know before you do a webcomic! It’ll be an adventure!

For the few of you who are asking “Hey Trae, where’s Hanzo the Razor?” Well, for those of you who missed last year, I officially retired from hosting the event after last year. I’m told my replacement is pretty great though, so if you know how to execute this year’s secret rice plan, I’ll join you there too.
