I've been waiting many years to get my geek on at the ultimate Seattle geekfest that is
Emerald City Comicon. Hubby always seemed to be gone to watch the kids, but this year, he was home and it was on. It was perfect timing because this year is the 10th anniversary. I took the boy because he is way into comics and stuff than the little one.
Now, I took a ridiculous amount of photos because there was just too much to see. I'm not THAT blogger who shares all 263 photos, I'll just share some of the awesome and hilarious highlights...
...like this gal, who is walking on full stilts...
...and those guys...
...or these guys...
...and these folks...
...and the Ice King from Adventure Time, the boy's favorite TV show..
...and these things...
...and these hot people...well, she's hot...
...and this guy...
...and
Isacc Hannaford otherwise known as one of the conceptual artists for the boy's favorite game series, Halo. We were so slow when we walked up to his table and saw him drawing, we thought he was just another dude drawing stuff. He even said he wasn't doing anymore commissioned work but he would love to have us come back the next day.
The boy was like "Those drawings are really good". Then we saw the the magazine cover art, then we looked at him, and then we were like "Wait a minute...". He has no signs up besides his name and his drawings, and that was so cool and humble at the same time. Or maybe he is so awesome, those who know him, know him and the rest of us are losers. Meeting him was the highlight of the boy's day.
This guy from my favorite cartoon growing up, Battle Of The Planets....
...incidentally, I never saw this program in English, we were down in Panama when I was younger and it was dubbed over in Spanish. I did understand it, but it doesn't translate as well. I almost purchased this DVD set but when he said $50, I got over it really quick.
The Oatmeal's table...that's his mom...she and I and his sister go way back...yes, I know celebrity family members, thank you very much!
Loved the Mustache Monocle from
Geek Chic...and yes, those are wooden weapons to your right...
...and the boy got to try out the new Kinect Star Wars. At that time, it had not been released in stores yet.
These people....
...are waiting to see people like...
We had an awesome time, let me tell you, there was so much going on...so if you live out in the PacNW, it's a must...the costumes alone make it worth the trip.
And no trip to Seattle would be complete without a visit to
Trophy Cupcakes. I took this picture just for you all who always say I'm never in the picture.
And this is just a picture of our cupcakes...just because...
