Planet Comicon – Part 2 (Costumes)
There were a ton of people that wore costumes at Planet Comicon. They ranged from “what the hell where they thinking” to “That costume is awesome and had to cost them a small fortune”. Here are the pictures that we took. Enjoy!
This is Rob and Kate. Kate made her dress with fantastic Dr Who fabric that she found online. Sorry Kate, this is the only picture we got of the two of you together.
Kate with a Ton-Ton (Taun-Taun??). He looked so soft, I wanted to go over and pet him….which sounds weird.
Glen with a storm trooper. I think I would be seriously claustrophobic in this costume.
I have no idea who she is supposed to be….
This Star Trek costume I coveted the most.
Kate posing with a Jawa.
These Predator costumes were incredible and came in second place….at least in my mind where I was ranking everyone. Glen is having a good time posing for pictures with them.
Me with Darth Vader.
This is a character from the movie The Dark Crystal. Kate you will have to remind me of the name, as sadly I have not seen this movie. This costume took first in my opinion. The time and effort that they went to shows in the excellence of the costume.
I can’t wait until next year!!
Planet Comicon – Part 1
Glen and I, along with Kate and Rob, went to Planet Comicon down at Bartle Hall on Sunday. It was one of the most incredible people watching experiences I have every had. The big draw of course were the stars that were there. The lines to see them were very very long. We opted to not stand in line and pay $25 or more for an autograph and another $25 or more to get a picture with them…if they allowed pictures that is. I was a rebel and took clandestine pictures. It is cases like this that I am glad I grew nice and tall.
George Takei…aka: Mr. Sulu from Star Trek.
Lindsay Wagner…aka: The Bionic Woman.
Lee Meriwether….aka: Catwoman
Wil Wheaton! …. aka: Wesley Crusher from Star Trek Next Generation….also Sheldon Cooper’s nemesis on The Big Bang Theory.
Lou Ferrigno….aka: The Incredible Hulk.
There were many other stars there. Some were lesser known to me or not known at all.
It was a great day! We took quite a few pictures. More than I can fit in one days worth of blogging.
You Can Teach An Old Dog New Tricks
Glen has been working with both dogs trying to teach them to fetch. Petey, at 14 years of age, is picking it up very quickly. Lucy, she just likes running around like a goofball.
ps…The ringing you hear every once in a while is Lila. She loves to make the sound of a telephone ringing. It is her all time favorite.
pps….The movie on the television is The Mummy. Just in case you were curious.
Gassy Wine
Well, it has been 11 days since we last tested the wine. Yesterday evening it was time to test it again.
It tested well under the percentage it needed to be at, soooo, time to put in the ingredients to help clarify the wine and stir, stir, stir to get the gas out.
Glen didn’t realize how much gas was in the wine which resulted in a panic on our part…..it erupted. When it died down it looked like we had killed someone in our bathroom. It sprayed all over the walls and mirror. Thank God we decided to do this next to the bathtub!
After getting things cleaned up and the head on the wine died down we stirred, and stirred and stirred some more. All the gas has to be removed or the wine won’t clear. No one wants cloudy muddled looking wine.
The wine…..it was very gassy 🙂 Now it must sit for two weeks before we can bottle it.
Ready for the real spring to begin
This is not the bluebird of happiness….he wants warmer weather with no more snow.
