In a few short weeks, we will have one of the biggest Florida Conventions in Orlando: Megacon! It will have the usual gathering of geeks under one roof. Every year Megacon, now owned by FanExpo is trying to make bigger and better things. Last year we had an amazing charity event for Equality Florida after the heartbreaking events at the Pulse Nightclub.
This year they are bringing an event that is a lot more lighthearted, but none-the-less amazing!
