Brought together by Fever and Netflix, Strange Things: The Experience brings fans on a journey back to the 80s. Visitors to the experience will feel as if they have stepped inside Hawkins, Indiana, Hawkins Lab, and the Upside Down itself, where things are never exactly as they seem.
This experience was one of the more extraordinary things that we have done and we can’t stop talking about it to anyone who will listen. We want to thank Netflix and Fever for inviting us and taking such good care of us in our trip back to the 80s!

I have been fortunate enough to see and experience Dear Evan Hansen live and in person a handful of times. I have experienced different actors take on the emotionally taxing role and make it their own each time. And each time, these incredibly talented Evans reduce me to a puddle of tears that ends up causing water damage to my beloved Playbill.

90s Con came and conquered this past weekend in Hartford, Connecticut. The decade-themed pop culture convention was the first of its kind and featured celebrity guests, panels, merchandise, and immersive experiences that would make anyone who grew up in the 90s feel like a kid again.
I don’t feel that I’m exaggerating when I say that this was one of the best days of my life.
