This past weekend I attended Nostalgia Con Anaheim 2026 as an Artist Alley vendor, and honestly, it was one of the strangest convention experiences I've had. From talking with fellow artists and vendors who struggled throughout the weekend to some unexpected interactions with celebrity guests and actors, this convention left me with a lot to think about.

In this vlog, I share my full Artist Alley experience, my first IRL streaming attempts, what I learned from the event, and why many artists walked away disappointed. Was Nostalgia Con simply too big this year, or am I overreacting?
