Shout out to the people I meet at
Cradle Con.
|
| |
Visted Cradle Con on Saturday May 14th. It took place at the Cradle of Aviation Museum. I recommend visiting this museum when you have a chance, It's an amazing place to learn about the history of aviation. It was a fun afternoon with lots of cosplay, artists and collectable toys.
Check out the new directory of gaming stores I have created. When you ask yourself where can I buy Magic The Gathering cards, play a game of Commander (EDHREC) or buy a retro video game console you now have a place to go.
