Now that I have been in the Sci Fi and Fantasy Masquerade at Costume-Con 39, I can reveal my latest creation. You see, there are even situations that Din Djarin will not take his son Grogu into. That is when he calls on one of the most trusted Mandalorians, only known as The Babysitter. The […]
Two weeks ago I was at BayCon 2022, the first convention I attended since the announcement of the COVID Pandemic in 2020.
