Free Talks with Jeff (**only**)

I was here at Colossalcon until 4:30 last night. No, I was not out partying but finally accepting my role as a Con Dad. I sat quietly with a sign that is offering Free Talks to anyone that may need it and am back at it again for most of the day again.

Sitting right on the couch outside Events 2 until 3pm and back at it between 4ish-9

If someone is having a mental health crisis and needs immediate help I will take that as a priority to assist them on how find navigate it.

I am a Certified Peer Supporter by the state of Ohio and work in mental health but I am here independently offering human to human conversions. I will treat anything shared with confidentially but we are in an open public area so share details cautiously.

To reiterate I am not a therapist or a counselor, I just have lived through some of the worst s**t imaginable and can help others navigate it.

**If you see anyone else associated with our group feel free to say hi when appropriate but they are here on vacation, this is my special event only**

Anyone else have to stop by for some fun cosplay wrestling at a convention? Send some love to some of the local wrestling promotions that put these together.

Great job Mega Championship Wrestling! If you are at Colossalcon shows will go on until midnight in Events 2.

This is not a sponsored post either, just a good reminder that you don’t get to see Steve from Minecraft battle with Steve from Blues Clues on those fancy cable TV shows. 

MEGA broadcasts live every Thursday at 8 PM EST on Facebook and YouTube with their flagship program called Turmoil.

Somewhere along the way, cosplay got labeled as “stress,” “budget spreadsheets,” and “why is this glue not drying RIGHT NOW.”

Let’s fix that.

Join us for “Cosplay is supposed to be fun, right??” at Colossalcon 2026 this Sunday at 10AM, where we step back from the chaos and remember why we started dressing up in the first place: because it sparks joy, creativity, and a little bit of controlled chaos. 🎭✨

This panel is all about resetting the mindset, ditching perfection pressure, and finding your way back to enjoying the craft, the characters, and the con experience.

📍 Events 3
🕙 Sunday 10AM
🎀 Free ribbon for attending!

No skill level required. No “perfect cosplay” required. Just show up as you are and let’s re-learn fun together.
