As I have already ranted and raved about, I didn't attend Cold Wars 2025 this year in Gettysburg. I do not any regrets with my absence, but what has surprised me was that, by mid-day on Thursday, there weren't any of the half-dozen to ten separate topics on TMP about the con.
We couldn't have all the self-important bloggers not attend Cold Wars and bloviate their opinions with a few pictures, could we?
We only had one of the Stout Gnomes attend Cold Wars as a day trip and we discussed it Monday night. Positives: There was a Cold Wars and the flea market had some awesome finds (it looked quite large, compared to the vendors). Negative: Multi-building arrangement, low vendor turnout, none of the events truly caught his eye. Not going to put words in his mouth, but if pressed, he might give an over-enthusiastic C-
For me and my social media searching, I found a lot of empty tables up until Saturday afternoon, and a lack of foot traffic wandering the Ike. When all the videos could perform a Broadway number between the booths in the vendor hall, I have some concerns reinforcing the problems with having a con for the sake of a con.
So here are five YouTube videos that I found covering the convention.
