Let your inner geek out this weekend at the ConCarolinas, a sci-fi convention that has everything a comics fan could want. Get in on the prevailing zeitgeist with a forum on the Marvel cinematic universe, or a panel discussion titled “I’m Dating an Android!” There’s also plenty of your more conventional fun (see what we did there?) like celebrity guests, LARPing, performances, a costume contest, trivia and karaoke. Boredom is not an option during this 250 hours-plus of nerdy bliss.
