FINALLY!!! CON SEASON IS UPON US...
and...
I'M DONE SLACKING OFF AND GOING TO KEEP UP ON THIS BLOG!!! (I KNOW I'VE SAID THAT A MILLION TIMES)
I attended Wizard World Portland Comic-Con and Emerald City Comic-Con in the last two weeks, and spent the majority of the time meeting guests and collecting autographs. Im just going to share some pictures so you can see the good times to be had at these kind of events.
I do have a shitty story about Portland though!
The show took place Feb 22-24th at the Oregon Convention Center in Portland, Oregon. Im not gonna say a lot about this show. It was well ran, had great guests and vendors, but an incident left a bad taste in my mouth.
We stayed in possibly the worst hotel I've ever stayed in. I mean, the
place didn't even have towels in our room, and when we asked for them,
they said "maybe they could find some"! We went with it because it was
right across the street form the Convention center. Anyways, we checked
out of our room Sunday morning and locked all of our merch we bought the
previous two days, in the car. We went in to the Con, which as I prior
mentioned, was directly across the street. Checked out Brent Spiner's
panel and took another walk around the con floor. About 2 hours total.
When we went out to the car to take our 5 hour trip home, we found a
window broken out, and all of our bags stolen. My friend lost his
laptop. I lost signed comics, art prints, toys, and photos by Stan Lee,
Norman Reedus, Michael Rooker, Lou Ferrigno, Brent Spiner, and Morena
Baccarin, as well as half of my wardrobe (which is why you will notice me wearing almost the same gear in every pic..haha). Such a bummer. It happens, but still very upsetting. Oh well,
enjoy a few pictures...

| The one and only, Stan Lee! I was star struck. This photo was in my stuff that got jacked. I talked to a guy at the Celeb Photo Ops, the pros who did the shoots for the convention, and they printed me a new copy! That is good business. If your at a Con and Celeb Photo Ops is the official photographer, dont hesitate to kick down a little extra for that photo shoot with your favorite celebrity. This company is a real class act. Like them on Facebook too! Celeb Photo Ops |
