2023 GalaxyCon Raleigh: Peter and Carmen Date Night ready!
“It’s Date Night, Peter!” Let’s get convention ready!” I expressed excitedly. He responded, “Buckle up, Sweetie!”.
We paused a moment to get ourselves ready for the GalaxyCon weekend. The convention spanned four days, but Peter and I secured a 3-day pass. Over the weekend, we had stellar moments at the Raleigh Conventions Center. Friday, we took the evening to relax and have our date night while attending the event. Saturday, we celebrated with my friend Dani, and on Sunday, my Mom and sister joined us in the fun. Plus, our Star Trek fan group set up tables and a hand-crafted transporter to help the cosplayers and conventioneers reach for their final frontier.
Peter and I planned to take advantage of celebrity photo opportunities. Phew! An over-zealous goal by the number we tried to make, but we did it all! After a long couple of years, aligning with my fandom and celebrating with others distracted and reminded me that joy still surrounds us; we need to adjust our perceptions.
Check out the sights and images we documented!
