In two short weeks, Atlanta once again joins the wizarding world as CONjuration descends and provides a magical weekend for fans of Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and all things fantasitcal!! CONjuration was founded in 2014 and each year the con becomes bigger and better (but without outgrowing its roots or forgetting why it was started in the first place)! The variety of programming, panels, special events, and vendors provides truly does make it a convention for everyone who loves magic and/or fantasy! It is an incredibly family friendly atmosphere that keeps the childlike whimsy, but without being a convention just for kids. I truly love CONjuration and have been every year! However, this past year, I was not able to spend nearly as much time as usual as my wife and I had a three month old child. So, even though I was only able to get just a few interviews, I still had an absolute blast with what little time I was able to attend. So, I hope that you enjoy the interviews, as well as the discussion that Adam and I have about how we would answer the questions I asked the guests.

NOTE: We recorded this episode a few weeks ago with the intention of releasing it prior to the Knoxville Horror Film Festival, which was October 17-20. Things got a bit hectic (work, family, podcast, etc.), so we were obviously unable to post the episode prior to KHFF as intended. There was not as much mention of KHFF as there has been on our Countdown to Halloween episodes, but rather than editing out the information that is there, we decided to leave our discussion of KHFF in the episode to serve as a reminder to start planning for Knoxville Horror Film Festival 2020!!
