This episode recaps my first day at MegaCon 2016, Thursday, May 26, 2016. Convention hours that day were from 4:00 pm to 9:00 pm, although with my 4-day pass I got to enter the hall  at 2:00 pm. I recorded this on Saturday morning, May 28, 2016 after I arrived early at the Orange County (Florida) Convention Center to avoid the traffic jams. The audio was recorded on my portable recorder, so please excuse the background noise you’ll hear.
