044: SBC Anime Festival Road Trip Review

Originally Aired Sunday, July 22nd 2018For this week’s podcast, we did a special “Road Trip” recording review of SBC Anime Festival. Because of the setting we were not able to use our typical recording equipment so we apologize for the lack of sound quality. Click the player below to hear the YouTube version or find our podcast “Comm Talk by Geek Devotions” on Apple Podcast, Google Play, Stitcher, TuneIn Radio, and Podcast Garden.
If we had to summarize the event into a few sentences it would be this:
SBC Anime Festival was a fantastic event for anime fans across the Ark-la-Tex. We loved the family-friendly atmosphere and most of all we enjoyed seeing fellow anime geeks in their environment.  Places and events like this are far to rare for us. While it’s not as “big” as other Cons it is certainly one that needs to be supported by the local community.  The more that these things are supported the more our local Geek Communities can grow.
