When Nerds Travel 2017
Another year of traveling with big nerdy glasses on.
The nerdy universe is vast and ever-expanding. Each year is filled with an eclectic combination of comic-cons, fan fests, spectacular events and flat-out nerdy places. Come with us as we revisit our trek through a small slice of this nerdy universe.
January
The year of nerdy travels began very early in the morning at the start line for runDisney at Disneyland and then off running to nerdy places all year long.
March
The Wonderful World of Comics Convention, as WonderCon was originally named, was back home in Anaheim in March.
NERD HOLIDAY
Pi Day, March 14 (3.14)
May
May was the nerdiest month of the year for 2017 with three nerd holidays and a plethora of conventions. Whovians and comic fans gathered in Minnesota for CONsole Room and MSP ComiCon and creative cosplayers flocked to Phoenix Comicon.
NERD HOLIDAY
Star Wars Day, May 4
Free Comic Book Day, May 5
Towel Day, May 25
July
July is the apex of the nerd calendar. In 2017, not only Comic-Con International: San Diego and all its grandeur but also Disney’s event for its fan club. D23 Expo was more than mouse ears with properties like Star Wars and Marvel in their portfolio. Always sights to be seen at CONvergence, where all forms of art and fandom meet.
September
Jaw dropping skill of artisans in costume design and execution everywhere you looked at Dragon Con.
November
November’s convention locations were nothing short of breathe taking with Indigenous Comic Con in beautiful Albuquerque, New Mexico and Supernatural Convention in Honolulu, Hawaii.
February
President’s Day weekend was busy in California in 2017 with cons up and down the coast. Gallifrey One, a staple on any Whovian’s calendar, got the party started. Then a road trip down to San Diego Comic Fest for a Mock trial on mutant rights, with a stop at Long Beach Comic Expo along the way.
April
April saw George Lucas, Mark Hamill and Harrison Ford on stage together at Star Wars Celebration. And Buzz Aldrin urging us to Occupy Mars at Silicon Valley Comic Con.
NERD HOLIDAY
International Tabletop Day
June
Off to Los Angeles to see Nerdy Places in June. First, pondering the universe with Albert Einstein at the Griffith Observatory and watching the International Space Station pass overhead. Then, exploring the maze of books at the Last Bookstore in downtown.
August
August and September were bookended with Hawaiian conventions Amazing! Hawaii Comic Con and HawaiiCon with Dragon Con in the middle straddling both months.
October
Fall was in the air in October with both Fall ComiCon in Minnesota and Harry Potter Festival in Wisconsin. Back into the sunshine at the end of the month for Stan Lee’s Los Angeles Comic Con.
December
December nerds everywhere spent time at the movie theaters, enjoying a bit of Star Wars again this year. Also, a stop was made to the Little Tardis Library to drop off some books on the way to see Doctor Who on the big screen.
