The Geek Show

We received an invite to a cosy little charity convention up in Gateshead called Cherricon, so we decided to investigate. What we found was a rather pleasant day out, a great atmosphere, lots of baking, and Ed in a pink frilly maid outfit. Oh yes. Then again, it’s all in the name of fun and good causes. outro by disasterpiece www.thegeekshow.co.uk
