Michigan Business Beat | Julie Pingston, Choose Lansing Celebrating 2024 Anticipating the Future!

Ayo!!!

Wanna shake that trunk with my verbiage? "AKEOMECON 2024" is a track that will be featured on an upcoming album inspired by my experiences while at conventions. On a personal note, throughout various mishaps, I've been through a massive creative block so what better way than to go out there and experience life. However, while doing so I ended up going to various anime conventions doing various dumb things, while also making friends along the way. 

The project, "SatomiTrinityVT (Music for Cons)" is a project that will not only document some of my various memories during conventions, but also will match the energies of the party life during an anime convention, capturing the youthfulness of cosplays and shots of Malort. Each track is also named after a convention I have attended and the year I have attended said convention, like a musical polaroid. 

Plus, with a collaboration from fellow VT peer, "Satomi Trinity" this track as well as others will hope to get you wanting to blast the bass and C-Walk at whatever Anime Convention you attend. 



AKEOMECON 2024

A long report on a busy weekend trade show. 
In this episode, I talk about the toy trends expected for 2025, and focus on some specific products coming later in summer. It is important to know that the Toy Fair is a trade show, and so it is covered differently than our New York Comic Con or other featured reviews for fans. This is a more business-focused news report, and my hope is that it informs many more people about the current status of the toy industry and what is being done to help it continue to thrive!

Thank you to the following vendors who spoke to us: Incredible Group, Unis Technology, Duncan, Yomega, MyArcade, Bling2o, Bicycle Card Company, Konami Digital Entertainment, Ultra Pro, Bandai, Blokees, EXG Pro, The Noble Collection, and especially big thanks go out to Playmates Toys, Mattel, LEGO, Jazwares, and Spin Master for the private tours.

Garden State Fur the Weekend 2025 SAT 11pm

The boys get scantily clad with the new Marvel Swimsuit edition, reckon with X-Men Evolution Season 2 finale, berate X-Force’s #300, and debate how many twin pregnancies result in vanishing twin syndrome (spoiler alert: it’s 36%). 

Issue 375 - Miles Morales Takes Over the Universe

Every episode we drink craft beer, make fun of each other and recap the week's geeky news, trailers, movies, and TV shows.  With special guests and a different main topic every week, our podcast is always lively, but not for the easily offended!

Nowhere California is a nerdy and, often, off color love letter to pop culture. Nowhere California will dissect every aspect of the entertainment world and deliver their very unique spin on these subjects.
