We hit the road once again, this time for the Mega Nerd Garage Sale in Virginia Beach, which was spearheaded by Mike Federali as a way to raise money for October's Tidewater Comicon. There was a big group of people when we arrived and we literally recorded on a guy's front lawn.

It was great meeting the folks who attended and got some new treasures for their collections, we had fun talking to some of them, we got to hook up with our buddy Daniel from the When Nerds Collide podcast, and a great time was had by all I think, us included.
But, it took a turn when we talked with Nicole and Christina from Action Packed! Cosplay. They told us about the volunteer work they do for kids at children's hospitals and how they are championing the fight against sexual harassment of female cosplayers at conventions. It was an eye-opening interview and you might actually tear up a little. Great seeing you again, ladies. You are truly some heroes in our eyes and keep up the amazing work that you are so passionate about doing.
Here is a link to the HOPE FOR HENRY Foundation they volunteer for with the children, as well as the group fighting against female cosplay harrassment and unwanted advances at HollabackPHILLY: http://philly.ihollaback.org/comic/
