Dragon Con Diary: Day 2

I survived my first full day at Dragon Con! Although I stumbled back to the train station tonight in a bit of a daze (Dragon Con involves a LOT of walking, and you WILL get tired), I had an awesome day and can’t wait to go back tomorrow. It’s so

Movie review: Was ‘Incredibles 2’ worth the wait?
