Show Notes
We know you love them, and we know we love them so we are diving into another weekend at another CON, and the Stori’s just keep getting better.
From flight delays and lunches with legends and then more flight delays, there are almost too many stories to fit into this pod. It seems like we are on a CONstant Tour. Tori ran into her old friend William Shatner and gave a bartender, who was flirting with her, some advice on how to approach someone properly. This episode has it all: fan stories, Captain Kirk, flirting, travel woes, and pickles - yes, pickles. So dive in, and watch out for whiplash, because these stories take some sharp turns.
