Leakycon
Even though Leakycon is many many months away, I am counting down the months, weeks, and days until it’s here. For many years I’ve always wanted to go to the world of nerdgasming fandom, and next August it will be my chance.
In case you have no clue what Leakycon is, it is a conference that is all about Harry Potter. It involves many things that’ll make Harry Potter fans drip at the mouth. These things include some of the cast from Harry Potter, Wizard Rock, contests, panels, games, John and Hank Green (…I mean hellooooo), and a bunch of other stuff.
I grew up with Harry Potter, I’ve been reading them since they came out when I was in the 4th grade. Every summer they came out, I would rush and make sure I grabbed a copy. This happened ever year they came out. As much as I loved the book series, I never really cared for the movies past the 3rd or 4th. So I admit, they didn’t make as much of an impact on me than the many, many fans out there. Basically, when the book series ended..so did my desire and love for Harry Potter. To sum this paragraph up, I basically could not nerdgasm any longer.
Aside from my dying love for Harry Potter, I would definitely enjoy going to this event. My chances definitely sky rocketed when I recently found out that it would be happening in Chicago, IL in 2012. That’s only a 5 hour drive (which is short considering I’ll be taking a 57 hour train ride in an area that shall remain hidden due to certain people who may be lurking my blog)
I am going to fully engulf myself in the world of fandom and the internet since it is one of my many passions (aside from art and traveling). Hopefully I can cough up (insert triple digit price here) in the meanwhile.

If you are so inclined, I might point out that next year’s Worldcon will also be held in Chicago:

I’m pretty certain that there will be at least a couple of Harry Potter-related panels in the program.
