Happy Independence day

Happy Fourth July ! For my Fellow Americans! 

Where's Dayton?

I've been SO busy getting ready for this weekend that I almost forgot to write! Almost.

Earlier this month my friend Dayton Ward issued a challenge: take one of his books with you this summer, take a fun/silly/interesting picture of it, then tag him on social media or email your picture directly to him.

So I decided I'm going to try to do this all weekend. First #WheresDayton of the weekend from yesterday:

Equinox #1 and Paths of Disharmony - crossover maybe? Maybe? No? Ok.

Mr. Trekland himself, Larry Nemecek, is here as well as the fine folks from Starbase Studios. I may even see if I get author Selina Rosen in on the shenanigans.

Shenanigans, I say!

So if you own or are planning to read one of Dayton's creations, be sure to document it and let him know. There will ultimately be a poll and the winner is said to get a prize.

Another busy week

Howdy my geeks! 

It's been another crazy week for me, no cons just work been busy.  I don't have any idea on what I want to post to you guys this week.  

I saw Disney Pixar  new movie Inside Out, that is a very cute and funny movie. As adult now I catch on to the adult humor in these movies met for adults but still good for kids. 

My next con and final one until October will be the Space City Comic Con! I can not wait 7 of the 9 main Star Trek :Voyager cast will be there. This is my favorite series ! I finally get to me Kate Mulgrew and Robet Beltran! If you can't tell u am super excited! Please hit me up on Twitter if you are going to space city! I would love to met you! 

Stay Geeky

The other side of the table

I've only been attending various conventions since 2010 - even then, almost all local - but in a couple of weeks I'll be at my first convention on the other side of the table.

June 26-28 I'll be at SoonerCon in Midwest City, OK with Equinox Comics. I help with updating the various social media sites as well as the main website for EC, and plan to eventually learn more about public relations and helping with that as we grow. Baby steps, baby steps.

While I've been told I don't have to necessarily stay at the table the entire time, I do feel it's important to gain an understanding of what it's like to be on the other side of the table, to meet and talk to readers and fans so I can do more of what I've been doing, only better. This is a fun and exciting opportunity, and if nine years ago when I graduated from high school someone had told me I'd be doing this, I might've laughed.

The reality of me is that I'm a fairly introverted person. It's really only been within the past three years that I've really started to come out of my shell more, and talking to new people has become relatively easy, given my day job in retail/customer service; being able to relay information to customers really has been helpful with this, even if at times it can be exhausting or trying on the nerves. However, I still spend a good chunk of my time home playing video games or reading or some other creative something. I'm much more of a homebody.

So if you happen to be in the area, or need something to do that weekend, come on out and swing by the Equinox Comics table. Even if I don't happen to be at the table if you do stop by, you'll still be greeted with friendly smiles and handshakes from the guys.

An other busy weekend

Hey  guys,

 I am at yet another Con this weekend is Akon, it’s an anime convention but I just go for the costumes. 

 Sadly, this hotel  doesn’t have free wifi  so, I can’t type much  sorry I was going to tell you all about Dallas Comic Con but I am using Hotspot  to post this real fast. Check out my Twitter  for updates! @TxTrekkie_gurl

Dallas Comic Con 2015

By the time you all read this, day two of DCC will be just a few hours away from ending, but it is presently 11pm on Wednesday night and I've done a little test-run of my two main cosplays (there will be a third cosplay for the after-con Shindig Saturday night ♦), so keep in mind the ultimate end result will likely look better than these:

Female Wash from Firefly

Holly Golightly from Breakfast at Tiffany's

BUT WAIT: THERE'S MORE!

Sunday, while it is the last day of DCC, I will be heading out to the Gexa Energy Pavillion to catch Rob Zombie, Halestorm, The Pretty Reckless, Breaking Benjamin, In This Moment, and We Are Harlot.

So, for those keeping score at home, that's one super fun convention and one bad-ass concert, all in one weekend.

Preo time

Hello Geekester!


Next weekend with  DCC or the "Proper" Term  Fan Expo present by Dallas Comic Con. Captshinypants and I will both attending! As I prepare for this con I figured I'll let you see my process a little bit with some bullet points of things I do the week before a con.

• Transportation -  Shiny and her husband will be driving, my friends and I will be taking what call the Dart ( Dallas area rapid Transport) basically a Lightrail. 
• What Cosplays to do- this depends on who going to be there . For me Nathan Fillion, Alan Tudyk  , Billi Piper, Karen Gillian, and just announce Matt Smith! are a few I am excited about, So It a toss up between my  K-9 or Dalek, Kaylee, my new Dr Horrible (  if the  person making it finishes it on time) , and my Voyager uniform. Still  trying to figure out the 3 I want to wear. 
• Prepare for my con bag.
• Decide on how much money you are will to spend. Always use cash, every vendor takes cash and you can control your money then a card. 
• If its a Con that's requires a hotel room,  start packing your bag now. 
• Once the schedule out, start planning out the panels and Q and A's you want to go see. Figure out which Q and A is more important to you. Like right now Jeri Ryan  Panel is the same time as  Nathan Fillion and Aln Tudyk's is. ( still figuring this one out)

These are just many of the thoughts and things I do before Con, Theses next 2 weeks will be crazy, as the next con will be Akon and that is the weekend right after DCC.

Stay Geeky!
