Welcome to the Spawn Chunks episode number 63 for Monday October 28th

2019. My name is Johnny, but the internet knows me as

Pixel Riffs and joining me as always is Joel Duggan. Hey Joel.

Hello sir, I am slowly getting my stamina back after a really, really fun, very busy weekend at Halcon

2019, which also was the 10th Halcon.

I didn't realize that until it was actually there I should have known that ahead of time

It's an event with a pedigree in this yeah yeah yeah and I and I have been going I went as a patron I think the first year

Maybe the second but the at least eight years now I have been like at a

table in one form or another whether it was as my set like a paid for table as a

guest or whatever and I've been there for a number of years and seen the

con grow to the nearly 20,000 people that apparently walked through the con at one point

this past weekend which is pretty cool

considering that Halifax as a city only has a population of about 400k you know so

now Halcon regionally is the biggest sci-fi fantasy convention to the site of Montreal

annually.

So it pulls from many provinces, Newfoundland, PEI, New Brunswick.

Even some people come in from like Toronto and Montreal,

depending on how much they like these cons.

So it does have a big draw.

But it was fun.

It was a really good experience. We go into a lot more detail about what happened for myself personally at Halcon in the render distance in our pre-show. So if you're a patron you can go and listen to that.

But I haven't had a chance to play Minecraft at all this week.
