Granite State Comicon 2024 Day One ...

Turtles Celebration

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02082

today Eva and I drove up to New Hampshire for the Granite State Comicon. This has been our yearly adventure now for several years. Eva loves to do cosplay and she has a group of friends there that she catches up with each year. I am a big nerd and love pop culture and fun stuff like this so I love to go. also, the show was created by some college friends of mine and I enjoy seeing them every year.

This year we were both in cosplay each day. Day one we did separate things. I was Bobby Singer from the show Supernatural and Eva was Ray from one of the SMPs that she watches. We made sure that we went to Nerd Caliber and got our photos taken there. We do this every year and they always take such great photos. This was good because I hardly took any photos this year.

We walked around the show floor and then the artist alley. We checked in at the games place and I attended a panel of two voice actors who voiced Deadpool and Wolverine in the cartoons and animated movies. Eva hung out with her friends while I did this.

after the panel we went and had lunch across the street at Shoppers. We’ve eaten there before and the food is decent. It is also right next to the SNHU center which was were the second part of the Comicon was happening.

we popped in over at the SNHU center and there we ran into my supervisor, Ben and his family. Eva loved talking with Ben’s daughter and she was so full of personality. At the SNHU center there were large 3D printed Robots and that was super cool to see. Maybe something I create in the future, who knows.

After that we ran over to our hotel to check in and get changed. We ran back to the con to see the Costume Contest and there two of Eva’s friends won some major awards. We’re encouraging Eva to enter next year. I think she could win.

To finish off the night we walked over to the Rex Theater because I had gotten us tickets to see The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie. The special thing about this was that they got several of the actors and the actress who played April O’Neil to come and speak to the people viewing the movie. We got some great insight into the movie and it made it that much more enjoyable to see. Eva even had a great time watching it.

Sorting Transformers ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02424 Yesterday I drove Andy to school. Today I walked over with them. I did so not because I didn't think Andy would be safe on their own. Andy has been walking home from school for well over a year so walking to school is the same thing just in reverse. I wanted to see how long it actually took for the walk to go. I of course, over estimated how early we had to head over. The walk itself only takes a brisk 15 minutes. And that is at a modified teenager's shuffle. So Andy can leave the house around 6:25-6:30 and still get there by 6:45 when the doors open to the High School. Good to know. During the day I started one of the projects I've been meaning to start and have been putting off. I'm sorting through my Transformers and getting them ready to sell. I have talked with the guys at Double Midnight Comics about selling them my collection. Not the stuff I have on display and also I am picking out some figures that I want to keep as part of the collectio...

Time with Lexi ...

  Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02401 Today We watched my sister's dog, Lexi. My sister and her husband were coming back up here from their home and they had boarded the dog. They weren't sure if they'd be there in time to pick her up so we did that for them. We had Lexi for a couple of hours before they arrived and we had dinner together. Lexi was pretty chill for the most part until Torrun came in to the living room to investigate. At first they just looked at each other. Andy grabbed for LEXI's leash and then Lexi tried to go after Torrun. Torrun ended up bolting for the upstairs and we did not see her for hours. James knew enough not to even come down.

Time For Another Change ...

  Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02402 Andy decided to clean their room today. In so doing they decided that they no longer wish to hang on to their LEGO sets. So, I now have them all and I spent the afternoon disassembling many sets to fit into the one bucket. There were many Minecraft sets in there. What I'm going to do eventually is take what is in the bucket and separate it down to the individual sets that I still have instructions books for. The organizing of that is going to be daunting. I will try and figure out an efficient way to separate everything but I'm sure that will take some time. Andy also decided that they no longer want the piggy bank that was mine. That I am putting into a box for Andy for when they get older and maybe have kids of their own.
