The PopCulteer
September 1, 2023
Your humble blogger has been a bit wiped out and buried under other work since returning from his epic road trip three weeks ago, and I’m just now getting around to editing more photos from that cool trip to JoeLanta in Atlanta and PowerCon/MEGO Meet in Columbus.
The trip was exhilerating, but exhausting, and I feel like I didn’t really get to enjoy the full experience of either toy convention. I will likely never try to do anything like this again.
Don’t get me wrong. I enjoyed the hell out of the trip, but I hope the convention organizers NEVER EVER AGAIN schedule their shows at the same time…maybe not even in the same month.
I basically sprinted through JoeLanta and my photos are blurry because of it. I will still probably squeeze one more photo essay out of JoeLanta next week. Likewise, I was dead on my feet by the time we made it to PowerCon, and many of the exhibitors had either left early or sold out of the stuff I wanted to buy long before we got there. I will also have some bonus photos from PowerCon next week, too. I apologize in advance for the image quality.
However, today I’m giving you ten photos from each show, which you can see below this video, which I posted last Sunday when nobody was reading the blog. Here’s the trip video, and then our photo essay…
