Description

Welcome to Convention Confessional. My name is Katy Hunt and for the last 20 years, I have been either going to or working for multiple conventions across the New England area. Some have been very successful and some... well. That’s what this podcast is for, sharing the good memories and the not so good memories. The goal is to bring on guests to share their own stories and hopefully a few Special Guests from time too time to talk about their own run ins.

So ends the trilogy. Rob is back to talk about one of the bigger costumes he made from a little show called FLCL. And in pure Rob fashion, that costume was a giant robot, Canti! Sounds easy, right?

Episode Eighty Four: Dance Shorts Aren’t Optional
