Wondercon 2016 Pictures! At long last
The convention ended weeks ago. I Finally got all my pictures sorted (as well as my dad’s). These are a few of my favorites. enjoy. I had a blast and as usual, the costumes were amazing. Thanks to Forest and my dad for making this happen and sharing your pictures. Huge thanks to everyone at Wondercon and especially everyone in costume (please send me links and i will happily include them here). See you next year!
Surprise visit from Nathan Fillion to my living room!
Even Captan Hammer needs tech support! I am always delighted to be awesome in the presence of someone who’s work i respect and admire. Forest was furious as soon as she recovered from the shock of it! She asked me to help tidy, not two hours earlier. I am a master procrastinator where cleaning is concerned. “Lets just watch TV instead,” I said. This may have hurt those efforts for years to come.

Simpsons table read inside!
Inside this building or nearby the voice talent behind The Simpsons are gathering with the writers and producer for a table read. I may not be present for the read, but I will certainly enjoy the episode.
Wondercon 2015 Photos!
First time at Wondercon, I had a great time. Hilariously interesting panels, friendly people and amazing costumes. Food trucks for miles supplemented the usual con food. Similar to Comic Con in spirit, but not in scope. Wondercon lacked the sweltering crowds and with them, much of the lines. This more intimate setting afforded more direct fan interaction. I saw creators hugging fans and levels of joy and enthusiasm that could almost approximate wonder.
…And there were robots.
ComicCon 2014 is done and we had a blast!
Our visit to San Diego is over, but the memories live on. I usually post as I go, but the cell service was so atrocious at the convention center, I couldn’t do any more then text from the convention floor. Here are some of my pics. I think i’ll start with the bath robe I almost bought. It was luxuriously soft and made me look like my favorite Wookie.
This year I explored the free open to all NerdHQ that was set up at Petco Park. it was pretty cool with lots of video game demos, panels, and other neat stuff. Some of the neatest was a display from Stupid Buddy Studios the stop motion guys who bring us Robot Chicken, among many other fun projects.
This guy actually controls the camera setup during the shoots with this modified Nintendo Power Glove. Love the retooled retro cool. I also learned about the culture of their office. It is themed like a scout troupe complete with patches awarded for projects completed and woodland wall paper in their LA offices. See some of the patches sewn into uniform shirts reminiscent of brownie uniforms of the 80s.
Even Samsung had an amazing superhero inspired display made of their amazing devices. Last, but certainly not least. . . Huge Thanks to Jenn!
