CatBusRuss and ThePoeticCritic are a bout to hit the road once again to make their annual pilgrimage to McCormick Place for the Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo b.k.a. C2E2. Thus, there is a lot of preparation needed for this trip, even if our host is getting locked out of the overloaded celebrity line up on Saturday. Despite the frustration, Russ wants to still get in the mood for the show and give the audience a paywall-free version of the first C2E2 he reviewed on "Ninety For Chill", 2022.
Was it better than Fan Expo Chicago 2022? Who did he come to see? Did he do much to promote the NinetyForChill: The #Podcast? Cosplay's premier "Captain N: The Gamemaster" may finally be getting the nerd recognition he deserves. Or is he still pumped from the Danhausen photo op?

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
