Join us for an exploration of fandom as we dive into a first-time experience at the CreationCon in Philadelphia! In this episode, Sandra takes three family members along for an unforgettable adventure packed with SPNFamily moments. From the Saturday Night Special concert to exciting photo ops, panels, and an amusing encounter in the bathroom, the discussions offer insight into the vibrant world of fandom and fanfiction. 

Whether you're a long-time fan or new to the SPN fandom, this episode is a delightful peek into the community. Tune in to get inspired by our tales and share in our excitement for all things Sam and Dean Winchester!

It should also be noted that Kasey had not yet listened to the breakdown before this episode was put together. They did the best co-host thing by helping Sandra intro and outro this baby blind!
