Walker Stalker Con 2017- Boston

Convention Experience II
Walker Stalker

Last week I had the opportunity to attend my first ever Walker Stalker Con in the heart of Massachusetts: Boston. Anytime I have the chance to see some amazing events in Boston, I grab at it as soon as possible. So when Walker Stalker Con visited Boston again, I jumped for it. I first heard of Walker Stalker Con back in 2015 when their venue was at the Seaport World Trade Center. This year on 2017, they were next door to the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center, the Westin Boston Waterfront Hotel. This event was a two-day convention covering both Saturday and Sunday and features some of horror’s greatest actors such as Bruce Campbell from “Ash vs. Evil Dead” and loads of “The Walking Dead” cast. As a reminder, I don’t write reviews on conventions, I like to explain what happened for those who could not attend and wish to go or be convinced to attend next year.


One of the nice things that Walker Stalker Con had was because it was held in a hotel, it had restaurants and coffee shops in the venue, so you did not have to go super far to grab a quick meal or break. A downside that made it difficult to go to parts of the convention was how there two exposition halls for the vendors, booths, and celebrity booths. Due to that, bags had to be checked every time you moved from expo hall to the next expo hall. Also, only one side had the expo hall, panel room, and celebrity photo op. As a general long time convention goer, it would be more convenient for the attendees to only have to get checked once when getting into the convention.


One of the coolest things I can recall from Walker Stalker Con is getting to see all of the celebrities. Being able to see IronE Singleton (Theodore "T-Dog" Douglas), Michael Cudlitz (Sergeant Abraham Ford), Scott Wilson (Hershel Greene), and Chandler Riggs (Carl Grimes). Having the chance to sit in on Singleton’s, Wilson’s, and Cudlitz’s panels were probably my favorite part of the two-day convention. It’s something about hearing the actors’ past, background, and what got them into acting felt special to hear. There was also Eugene Clark who played Big Daddy from horror legend, George Romero’s “Land of the Dead”. No need to mention, but seeing them was also special in that they are some of TV’s legendary actors. I also just remembered, this was the first time where I got to see a convention that hosted a real tattoo station/booth. Being totally honest with you all, I was very tempted to get one.

Overall, I feel fortunate to finally attend Walker Stalker Con- Boston this year. If you are a fan of the Walking Dead, a horror fanatic, or want to meet some of entertainment or horror’s biggest stars, this is the convention to go in Boston. Thanks a lot Walker Stalker Con and hope to see you again next year.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
