We’re back, bitches! Back from another epically wonderful weekend at Conageddon, that is. The only bad thing about Conageddon is when it ends, friends, and now I am deep in the throes of post-con blues. The only thing that could quell the pain is if they could go ahead and announce the next one. Pretty please? Zach already said yes, so. Just do it. You know you want to.
Anyway, let’s break down all the fun, via some highlights, shall we? Honestly, I should take notes or something. Also, this year, I am going to direct you to some folks who do a far better job than I do in documenting stuff (the benefit of not being press is not having to, after all)!
For the best compilation videos of all time… GO HERE!
For all the complete panels to watch…. GO HERE!
And now, the tea!
★ The VIP party was great as always! Getting the chance to chat with your faves is just… nothing quite like it! And it’s extra fun because all your besties are there to experience it too! It might be a little pricey but it is worth every single penny, no exaggeration.
★ I did the Chris VIP and 10000/10, would recommend. He is such a gem of a person. We all chatted about how his new thing is cooking, how if he could, his perfect day would be spent reading, pausing for drinks with his wife, and how we got our AIM names back in the day.
★ We were finally graced with the presence of Richard Harmon, after two last-minute cancellations in a row (I know a man’s gotta work but we missed him). Third time really is the charm, and it was one thousand percent worth the wait. One of my favorite moments was him trying to explain seasons 6 and 7 to Chris. Honestly every last thing about Chris and Richard’s friendship gave me life, from their matching sweaters, to whatever this was.
★ In the Thomas and Richard Meet & Greet, Thomas made some… on the spot art, with a conference room table cloth. Richard took his assignment very seriously.
★ Marie and Bob make me tear up every single time. Sorry, not sorry, their relationship is just so beautiful. Honestly, the friendships all these folks have formed are clearly very special, and it is nice to see how much the show meant to all of them, too.
★ Speaking of Marie, homegirl can sing. Honestly is there a blessed thing Marie can’t do? She does all the things, and she kills them! Now, she’s got her own songs! I am mad at myself because I thought I didn’t have $50 in cash to get her vinyl album but then I found extra cash in a cosmetic bag and I want to sob. I missed the pre-order window and now this! I hope she releases some more because I loooove them!
★ Jo always asks the best stuff! Social media posts from 2014, and what they would have changed about their endings. The ladies answer first:
I stand with Bob though, as does my ending, in that Bellamy’s body was not there. Because they would not have let him die. Duh.
★ Zach and Lola were the life of the GA party. I’d never stayed for the whole GA party years prior, because I am old, but I am so glad I did! Idk how Zach has so much energy- man is crowd surfing, and doing conga lines, and all I can think about is falling asleep!
★ I am so glad that I actually got to meet and chat with Jess! I love her ability to just tell it like it is, and just be real. She cracks me up endlessly.
★ Zach is always up for another Conageddon, and he made a “bet” with Tim that if he could beat him in an arm wrestle, we’d have one, so…
★ Marie shared how she landed the role of Octavia.
★ I miss everyone. Yeah, the cast and Jo of course, but all the friends we made along the way! The Amandas™, Lori, Mel, Mary, Kai, and everyone else who made it such a fun, amazing time. May we meet again.
Honestly, it was just another incredible Conageddon weekend with some of the loveliest people in existence. I am begging the universe, the Con Gods, Zach, Bob and Eliza, whoever I need to sell my soul to, for a Conegeddon 6 🙏🙏🙏
Looks like a good time was had by all! Great pictures/vids!
Thank you! It really was wonderful!
“how if he could, his perfect day would be spent reading”
I approve of this Chris person 😉.
Chris is an absolute gem of a human being, you are correct in your assessment!
Amazing that you have so much fun at these cons! Thanks for sharing, and I hope the next one is announced soon!
Thank you so much! I am keeping everything crossed for another!
It sounds AMAZING! I’m so sorry I missed it, and so, so glad you did not. What incredible goodies to catch and enjoy! I bet if you messaged Marie about it, she’d let you into the pre-sale or let you know if there’s another way to get her album. Thanks for sharing all of this! And congrats on your self-restraint in not just taking Chris or Richard home because I would’ve been readying the chloroform. They’re such sweet guys! And I’m so glad you got to reconnect with friends from cons past, too! <3
Aw thank you! I am sorry you missed it too. I seriously bet Marie would send it too if I Venmoed or something heh. If she has any left, that is! Honestly aren’t they just THE BEST? I adore them so much!
Looks like everyone had a great time! 🙂
Indeed, it was wonderful!
I love that you get to go to this and have so much fun! Thanks for sharing all of it with us again.

Aw thank you! I am so in need of a Con6 announcement!
Love that they still do these every year. Hope you get a Con6 announcement soon!
Thank you! I really hope so too!
