Episode 51: MegaCon Weekend (aka Daughter of CCONNNN!!)

In this episode, Sandy & Jade provide a convention report on the three conventions that they attended over two weekends --- DundraCon (a gaming convention), GallifreyOne (a Doctor Who Convention), and Stitches West (a fiber art convention).

We recorded an extremely long episode, which we've broken up to Episode 51 & 52. Stay tuned for Episode 52 very shortly! You can find Jade's written con report on her blog for both GallifreyOne & Stitches West 2014!
