E-Mail From The Bride...

So my friend (The Bride) sent out an e-mail out to us this morning with various instructions because the wedding is a little over a week away.

Apparently the groomsman I'm walking with in the wedding is named Nick and we are walking in about mid wedding procession. In addition to this information I've also learned that we have been "encouraged" to dance into the reception to "Party Rock Anthem" by LMFAO (Maybe I'll practice my shuffling). The bride and groom will be walking in to the Star Wars (1977) theme -- He proposed to her dressed as Darth Vader at New York Comic Con 2010, here is the video...


She also sent us the reception menu and booze list -- Justin will not be happy with the beer selection, so I guess he will be sticking to wine. I'm just happy she is having an open bar. We're gonna need it. T-minus 11 days until the actual wedding.

This Is Screaming Photo Op...

I must note to the World that since Friday night I have actually found several photos of either myself or my friend who is visiting from Cali on various blogs that were covering New York Comic Con (NYCC). I just thought that it was pretty neat & I should post about it.

Day Two: NYCC '10...



Sorry I didn't actually post this on Saturday or Sunday. After we left the Con Saturday the rest of weekend just ended up being crazy busy.

Saturday my friend and I left early so that we'd get to Comic Con early enough to get seats for the "Your Highness" panel with James Franco and Danny McBride. While waiting for the panel to start we saw this guy whom we had met the day before running around and taking pictures for Vitamin Water. We said hi to him, he took a photo of the two of us and right before the panel started he ran up to us with two bottles of Vitamin Water and told us to enjoy the panel -- Yay free beverages!

After the "Your Highness" panel, my friend and I started to wander around. She bought some Star Trek action figures for her and her boyfriend. Eventually my boyfriend called and said he was on his way with his cousins, so we headed towards the main entrance so he wouldn't have to "wander amongst the freaks to find us." He and his cousins found us and we headed toward Artist Alley and then the main hall. It was crazy crowded, so after a long period of time just trying to waddle through crowds we decided to head down to the Anime Festival.

The Anime Festival portion just ended up being a mini Artist's Alley for random artists and what looked like a bunch of prints from deviantART. But Justin's cousin loved it, she was dressed up like Ed from Full Metal Alchemist and she kept getting stopped for pictures and people came over to hug her -- It was cute.

Eventually she received a text from one of my Drawing Club kids whom she is friends with so we battled the crowd so that she could find him -- It took forever to get through that crowd. She saw him for all of two minutes because you just couldn't stand around because of the crowds and we had to be herded off with the other cattle. We tried shopping for a bit, but it wasn't happening so we went down to the food court to get something to eat. This also took forever and the food was horrible, I should have just walked to the street with my friend and gotten something from a street vendor for lunch.

After finishing the terrible pizza Justin and his cousins went to look around the main hall, while my friend and I decided to go into the IGN Theater to wait for the V panel to start. But we sat there for a bit and decided that if we actually waited and sat through the entire V panel that we'd be super late for the dinner that we had planned with our friends later on that evening, so we decided to leave NYCC and go back to my house to change into normal people clothing.

NOTE: I have a pretty awesome story that is NYCC related, but since it's not yet known to the World I can't spill the beans, but once it is I'll post about the epicness.

Day One: NYCC '10...



Today was the first of my two day stint at New York Comic Con (NYCC) and it couldn't have been better. The day started off with me waking up at 6:30am so I could get ready, then go drive to Lenora's house so that we could take the train together. We got into NYC a little bit before 9:00am and headed from Penn Station to the Jacob K. Javits Center. We got our passes relatively quick, then I changed into my Batgirl costume and then we waited on line until 10:00am when Professional Hours started. We wandered around the floor gathering swag till it was time to go to one of the Professional Panels.

Around 12:30pm my friend from Cali met up with us and we went to help her change into her costume -- She was dressed as the Phoenix (Jean Grey) from X-Men. We continued to wander around the exhibit hall where we had tons of people asking for pictures of us together, with them or just one of us on our own. We were so busy with photos that we were late to the Zombie Apocalype panel.

After the panel we saw Seth Green setting up to sign autographs and we obviously took pictures -- The line was way too long to wait on. Since that line was horribly long we wandered around some more, shopped a bit, I got stopped to take a photo and it ended up being for Library Journal, which I'm super excited about. Once that was done with then we tried to go get Sherrilyn Kenyon's autograph and a picture with her for my cousin -- That like was crazy long so that didn't happen. We decided we needed to sit for a while so we took a twenty minute break before looking around some more, got asked to do a video for some zombie sci-fi channel and then heading back home.


Panels Attended: 2
"Why Graphic Novels Should Be In Your Library"
"How To Survive The Zombie Apocalypse"

First Sunday...

Today was my first Sunday working of the new "Sunday Season" and it was super boring. I spent my day signing kids up for the computers. At least I got paid double time.

So, yeah... Blah Sunday but the rest of this week should be fairly exciting. On Wednesday one of my friends is coming to visit from California, so I took a bunch of days off to hang out with her. And Friday is the first of my two day stint going to New York Comic Con! Super stoked, I cannot wait to go.

Halloween In July...

Is it bad that I'm already thinking about what to wear for New York Comic Con/Halloween which are both in October?
