Send a raven: If you, like me, are #TeamLannister4Lyfe, here is your chance to meet the Golden Lion himself. The Kingslayer (aka Jaime Lannister, aka Moon of My Life) is coming to Nashville for Con of Thrones. The three-day event will include all of your standard con-tivities, in this case all geared toward Thrones-heads — a marketplace of merch fit for Braavos, a Northern longsword workshop, lessons in (very basic) High Valyrian, tapings of Game of Thrones-themed podcasts and panels on everything from HBO-series analysis and deep Westeros history to topics like Queer Women of Ice and Fire and Memes of Westeros. And if you’re willing to pay the lofty price, you can get an autograph and a photo taken with the Lion of Lannister (real name Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, as if that matters), as well as Joe Dempsie (Gendry), Jerome Flynn (Ser Bronn of the Blackwater), Hannah Murray (Gilly), Miltos Yerolemou (Syrio Forel) and “a real-life wolf dog from Tennessee’s own Wildefell Wolves.” But perhaps best of all, this is your excuse to don a silvery wig, gray cloak or golden armor and stan for your own Sun and Stars. July 12-14 at Music City Center, 201 Fifth Ave S. ERICA CICCARONE
