Last weekend DFW con enthusiasts eagerly headed to Richardson in their final attempt to attend a local, comic convention in 2018.

Do the titles Aliens or The Terminator ring a bell? These films are among a handful that have withstood the test of time and transcended generation lines. Most people would consider their career successful if they had been involved in one of these blockbuster hits, much less having major roles in all of them.

The Dragon Ball saga began over 30 years ago and is still going as strong as any Super Saiyan Fusion form. If you are not familiar with the show, it is an anime that has overwhelmingly infiltrated the American entertainment industry.

I started reading The Onion when I was in college circa 2000 after I saw a dormmate had printed out copies of his favorite articles from the Internet and taped them to his door. When I saw the Founding Editor Scott Dikkers was coming to Dallas I decided to contact him via Twitter. Needless to say the site has made a big impact as a pioneer of online publishing and and in the realm of comedic satire online. Scott started the original hard copy version, among other creative things. After a little ego stroking, as well as the fact he recently published a book telling his secrets, he agreed to give us some insight into some questions I prepared in anticipation of Scott’s upcoming keynote talk at Digital Summit Dallas on December 5th.  He was kind enough to answer my questions via email.

Panicking because you don’t have a weekend in-Dallas date idea? Need to know what to do with the spouse and kids a few weeks in advance? This is your list. This list is also for those festival junkies that like to #festhard all year long. We’ve meticulously poured through 130+ websites to get you these official 2018 dates of 90 D-FW festivals as early in 2018 as we could. It’s not everything, but those that have their dates listed on what should be their first place to disseminate info, their website.

These aren’t just any Dallas-Fort Worth festivals & events either, this is a curated list of which 70% – 80% we’ve attended or promoted over the last 13 years. Thus, we can vouch for the festival or events’ legitimacy. Secondly, to further authenticate this list, most of these festivals listed have stood the test of time. Except for possibly one or two of which 2018 is their inaugural year, many have occurred annually for many years (a handful for as much as 30 years). It took us living in Dallas, keeping our eyes and ears open, attending winners and the duds to identify some of the best that D-FW has to offer.

Those that get annoyed by the fact that Christmas songs are infiltrating their radios in November obviously haven’t stepped foot into the Gaylord Texan’s Lone Star Christmas.
