They are doing trivia and just generally smashing it. We are in Cincinnati, we are at a comic Expo with some pimp ass Victor Fries Press Passes, Chris has just met Miriam Margolyes, There is awesome cosplay and we are witnessing first hand the History of Bad Ideas podcasting live (its not that impressive really). BOOOSH!Īt this point, on the Friday night, it still hasn’t sunk in. Then it was time for the Expo… Time to walk the Expo floor, meet HOBI, check out the cosplay and take in some celebrity panels.Ĭhris couldn’t help himself… On day one he got a photo and autograph from the legendary Miriam Margolyes. The Expo was not going to be opening ’til the afternoon on the Friday so we decided to visit a local museum – the museum of Freedom, about Slavery and the Civil War (and things). We woke surprisingly fresh and decided to head for breakfast which it turns out is not so easy in Downtown Cinci.

However we only had access to American Netflix, no Rick and Morty :( Let me tell you people for a lower end of the budget Hotel the Millennium was spot on for us. As a way of saying thank you for the lift we asked Jeff if he would like to join us in our favorite British Past-Time. We were met by Jeff who took us to the Cincinnati Millennium Hotel which is actually attached to the Duke Energy Center (where the Cincinnati Comic Expo was taking place). We made it safe and sound and got through Trumps customs with no bother. We had a two hour lay over in JFK before we got on this tiny bucket of bolts plane with actual propellers, hahaha. We wont get into coming home just yet but it was hellish. Okay then lets get into this… First off, the travelling there was actually not too bad, we didn’t have movies on the plane but it didn’t feel like it took that long. Special shout out to Jeffrey Nau for being our chauffeur.

Meeting them face to face was honestly something i thought would never happen. Also to the History of Bad Ideas lads who made us feel so at home, as if we have known them for about 20 years instead of the actual 2 and a bit.
