Our Trip to Dallas Comic Con

We had a blast at the Dallas Comic Con. I am a very lucky girl to have the comic con on the same weekend as my bday and I just love attending. Everyone goes to the comic con for different reasons. I go to see the comic book artists.  I love buying prints and comic books. Some people like to go for the clothes and the toys and others just to see movie celebrities. Last year I got Leonard Nimoy's autograph, I was so excited and giddy the whole day! 

Yes, I am a big Nerd, but you will never know if you did not come into my home. I have my little nerd corner tucked away. Even my hubby never knew I was a nerd until we started living together.

The first thing we saw when we got to the convention was the line!

The line to purchase tickets was looping around several time but the line with advance tickets was just as long. It was insane, I've never seen the convention center so packed. 

The next thing we saw was so funny if you don't want to lose your friends and family you have to make one of these.

You will be able to spot them from faraway. 

Then we found the queen of hearts just wandering around and she even lights up! Haha I just love seeing the creativity that people come up with their costumes. Comic Cons is the best place to people watch and see all the different costumes. 

My hubby was instantly attracted to Mike Maydak booth. He fell in love with his stylized Marvel super heroes ( *Hubby Note: i just really appreciated his unique stylization of the characters and his etched canvas presentation of his art). He was really down to earth and super sweet. He even wished me a happy bday. We purchased Iron man and Captain America print wrapped canvases. Now we have the theme for our little monster's room. I've been having a hard time trying to figure out a new theme for his room but after seeing the Avengers movie and purchasing the prints I have a couple of ideas. I hope to have his room done in a month. I can't wait to show you all the transformation.

We also bumped into a storm trooper. One of my favorite things is to see a well made costume and then watching the person take out there wallet to purchase an item, it makes them look so ordinary  compared to the perception you have of that character as seen in movies or book. Its kind of a shock seeing them act like a normal person. 

One of my favorite costumes I saw was a female scarecrow from batman. It was fantastically made and she looked awesome. 

Now I can't wait to go to the scrapbooking convention at the end of the month! Fingers crossed to find something unique! 

Till next time,
