HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON TO DRINK (Con-G’s Drink Panel)
Are you aware that the very first Con-G took place in Guelph, at a now torn down hotel, in 2009? Among other things, this means that our dragon mascot Kon is 18 years old this year (He was created in 2008). Despite his playful, childlike attitude, he can now drink in many provinces! And so, we present, How to Teach Your Dragon to Drink. We will be making 4 How to Train Your Dragon themed cocktails and one mocktail. Follow along at home to try the cocktails! Click here for the grocery list to get prepared. If you only want to try one or two of the drinks, the ‘spoilers’ grocery list breaks out the ingredients by drink so you can (literally) pick your poison. Hosted by Teri and Kia’arra

FOR THE LOVE OF ANIME BS

ALSO, why I’ve come to love them under the umbrella term “Anime BS” (and what that means)! Hosted by Nick T.
