What is the Traveling Valentine?

Traveling Valentine is a name with many meanings.

As an online portfolio, Traveling Valentine is the one-stop access point to Tom's reviews of games, toys, anime, and movies. Tom also writes articles regarding conventions and other topics that he has interest in or is an expert of. Tom also podcasts and films his guides for this portfolio.

As a video production unit, Traveling Valentine has several films under its name. During conventions, Traveling Valentine captures the live antics that a mere picture cannot explain. Traveling Valentine also produces the hit doll animatic videos "Cosette and Eponine" and "Yo-Joe's Bizarre Adventure." Traveling Valentine also captures the unscripted antics of "Idiot Man-Children" where several mature men lose IQ points in direct proportion with the number of fellow mature men in their company while the girlfriends groan at the stupidity. Additional film projects are in development.

Knowing that one person cannot tackle so much responsibiltiy, Traveling Valentine grew into a group of fellow convention attendees. As a convention coverage team, Traveling Valentine is a group of people with their ears open and their eyes up. We attend the convention looking for a good story to tell whether it is an official release from an industry panel or a touching story from an attendee. With a cache of recording equipment and the willpower to use it, we remember what there is to remember and tell the world so they can remember.

As a convention personality, K Valentine occasionally represents Traveling Valentine as a guy who makes the convention memorable--hopefully in a good way. Whether developing a comedic sketch, plucking a wallflower for a waltz, badly singing at karaoke, or just sharing stories & sage advice, Traveling Valentine makes your convention experience fun.

As a website, Traveling Valentine is the site for readers to read convention reports, watch videos, look at photographs, and learn more about Traveling Valentine. In other words, this is the Traveling Valentine website. Welcome.

Traveling Valentine was founded by the veteran cosplayer and quirky convention personality K Valentine. Traveling across the country, K Valentine attended many anime, sci-fi, and other conventions that this country has while entertaining friends & strangers in his wake as well as keeping records of his exploits, observations, news, and photographs of the good and bad times.
