WonderCON!!!!

being tired of the horrible beast that Comic con San Diego has become i desired not to go last year,
it kinda made me sad that SD Comic con has strayed so far from comic books and more toward media fandom bringing in rude frat boy type jerks to spoil the deliciously nerdy ambiance.

there were other conventions like LosCon but it just did satisfy my cosplay hunger..
then i herd that Wondercon was coming to L.A. while the San Francisco convention center was going threw remolding (or something like that) and i got Pumped!
I bagged my thickly bearded Hubby to take me as my birthday present because it was just a month before.

his chin wisps sign languaged a "okay" then i wiggled with glee

then to spoil all fun my kidneys decided to harpoon a stone threw my squishy insides and as a bonus I had allergic reaction to the pain shot they stabbed on my bum, i guess i clenched at the wrong moment because my right lag where the shot was on swelled up and hurt like watching transformers2 on repeat...long story short I'll my saved up money and my hubbs went to my meds.....

worst day EVER!
when i was feeling better my friend Nick to me and my manabo to a roller derby and told me that he wants to go to Wondercon so bloody bad that he was willing to get us tickets!
even though i was still sore i wiggled happily. SHIT WAS ON!

Aaron (my hubby) and I made the food and arranged place to stay.
there was rejoicing and potion drinking on the way to L.A. I pray god to forgive my eating magical Korean meat that Friday..

after eating the drive I crashed in my mummybag while the men folk watch cartoons.

DAY 2 Wondercon.
you know how its so cool when you see people go all out on making there cosplay after a comic that is beloved by all? well do you know what is better?
seeing someone dress up as a character you created and then getting there pic taken by tons of people telling them how cool it looks and then have that cosplayer talk up on how cool your comic book is!! this is him my friend Nick dressed as "Mouse of pain"

I haven't even posted most of my comics yet and i get a Fan to cosplay my comic!!
its unreal!

Speaking of cosplay guess who i was<3

that day i saw so many cool and adorable things!

bumblebee called me over and told me i was cute XD I know his game, i bet he was working furiously on his costume welding and sewing canting in his head " I'm going to to get so many chicks hugging me!! <3 <3 "
damn i look so out of place in that pic, two universes that you never thought would meet.
Hayao Miyazaki and transformers ... but damn that would be awsome to see that on the silver screen!

being my first time at wondercon i really enjoyed it, it was not so cluttered or over whelming as SDCC and it was mostly about the comics:)
it was definitely more diverse when it came to the show floor, didn't get much same company with multiple booths..
everything was fun and happy -

then this guy showed up:(

he handed me his mannequin lag and started whispering.
thinking he just wanted a pic with me I just played along then he did this...


thats right, he opened up the his crotch area and dug threw his wallet and belongings and handed me his warm pelvic handphone then motioned that he wanted me to type my number in it..
I told him I don't know my phone number (not really a lie) and I don't want to remember it right now...true story.
he left sadly with his head hanging while dragging his sword...as he was leaving i couldn't help but notes his butt was also stuffed with his belongings.....i get a feeling he wasn't cosplaying, i think this is the way he dresses every sad day till he found a Wondercon badge on the sidwalk..

back to awsomeness I was asked to pose for the next Cosplay in America book!!

I'm so exsided!!
not just that my friend Nick got his pic taken for Cosplay in America in the Mouse of pain costume!!

after freezing my bum off in the rainy L.A. weather i desided to join the "FU" Fun!

Nachocat and Mouse of pain Wondercon 2012!

getting all up in batman's action<3

Aaron was having a ball too dressed as beardly Dr.Who :)

Finally a Asian Aang ( i'm looking at you hollywood)

after fighting some amazon zombies i ran into a long time crush of mine..thats right..

DEADPOOL <3 <3 <3

when i told him I loved DeadPool he said " And deadpool loves you<3"
i'm just going to let my fantacys run wild and beleave this is the real Deadpool<3 <3
and he loves me<3

Imortent tips on packing meals for Comic Conventions

poor nerds around the world check it!
if your on a small budget but still NEEEED to go cosplay and nerd the hell out at a Comic/SiFi Con ,I have a few tips to make the Con more pleasant when it comes to eating and saving money.

things you need to get started:
Cooler
lunch bags
zipplock

first tip,
if you need to keep some things a bit cool do NOT use ice in your Cooler instead go to the 99cent store of dollartree and pick up the Packaged bottled water and then throw half of them in the freezer the night before and the other half in the frig.
when your packing up just line the frozen bottles on the bottom of the cooler and the cooled bottles on the top of your food so there is no mess and soggyness.

Second tip:
i know the first thing people think to pack of road trips and ventures is PB&J sandwiches, there okay but to me Peanut butter is the worst smell coming from anybodys mouth asking if they can take a pic with me in my cosplay:p
instead I found that making Pizza bagels is more satisfying and more filling plus you can eat it hot or cold .
for less mess what i do it toast the bagels first then add the sauce and cheese, if you need more veg in your diet i would recommend slicing zucchini and squash on top they last pritty well unrefrigerated and tasty.
just place two slices of pizza bagel facing each other in a zipplock and your set!! no mess!


third tip:
its obvious that apples and carrots are a good snack, but what about Rice balls?!
rice balls are a great meal idea!

fouth tip:
do not prepack your food in little lunch bags , if your staying in a hotel just leave your food in cooler or mini frig and when you are getting ready to go to the con just pop open the bags and let you friends or hubby pick out what they want for there lunch , nothing sucks more then getting hungry at a con and finding all you have to eat is a bag of stuff handed to you that your not feeling up to eating..
trust me my dad used to pull that shit on me all the time.. dried fish and a sarroundwrap of peanut butter on a spoon with a V8 is NOT a meal DAD! (sorry)


looking at this post it dosn't seem like a lot of tips but trust me eatting well puts everyone in a better mood for having a good time specially if you have a whiny bitch coming with you cuz he/she said they would help with gas or a ride....i'm shour we'v all been there...


Please if you also have really good tip or ideas for traval food feel free to share them on the Comments area i'd love to know what you have to say:3
