  • The Good, The Bad, and The Nerdy: Keycon 42 Recap with SeanGeek and FastFret

    The Good, The Bad, and The Nerdy: Keycon 42 Recap with SeanGeek and FastFret
    May 25 2026

    Join us as we dive into the vibrant chaos of Keycon 42, where we had an absolute blast with our buddy James! We kick things off by sharing our thoughts on the hilarious "Hilarious House of Frightenstein" documentary, which took us on a nostalgia trip back to our childhood. The pros of the convention? Tons of cool panels, engaging discussions, and just the right amount of quirky interactions that make cons so memorable. Of course, we also chat about some of the not-so-great aspects, like the occasional hiccup with organization and the missing big-name guests that left us wanting. But hey, that’s part of the charm of these gatherings, right? So grab a snack and settle in as we recount our adventures, sprinkle in some laughs, and reflect on what makes these events so special!
