Visiting Texas: 2016 Comicpalooza Recap + 2017 Comicpalooza Event Dates

Hey Butterflies! I posted back in May about how I was looking forward to this year's Comicpalooza, well it was this past weekend here in Houston, Texas and it was a super cool experience as always. The Comicpalooza mobile app was a HUGE time saver again this year but the traffic in the area was really bad this year. I'm guessing it was due to the construction, Comicpalooza and the fact that the Red Soxs were in town playing the Astros; the traffic was kind of discouraging but we made it. Due to me having a ton of other obligations I didn't get to take it all in like I'd hope to, I spent most of my time driving back and forth. However, I did get to attend two literary panels, my kid met Zach Callison of Steven Universe as planned and my guy got some really awesome Batman throwing knives. I twitted about my kid's reaction to meeting Zach and he liked the tweet, I thought that was pretty cool considering most celebrities don't interact with their fan-base.

Visiting Texas: 3 Reasons I'm Really Looking Forward to This Year's Comicpalooza

Hey Butterflies! It's that time of year again...it's Comicpalooza time! If you have no idea what I'm talking about just keep reading; the Texas International Comic Convention known as Comicpalooza is a annual multi-format pop culture convention geared towards the fans of comics, science fiction, fantasy, video and table top gaming, anime, and music and film. This year's convention will take place Friday, June 17th - Sunday, June 19th at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston, Texas. I've been attending Comicpalooza every year since 2013 and it gets better each year. The convention has something fun for adults and kids of all ages.

Here's what I'm looking forward to this year...

Sexy Vibes: Sexy Costumes From CostumeSuperCenter.com

Hey my role playing, Halloween loving Butterflies! It's my favorite time of year, the weather is nice and the holidays are upon us. For my fellow Halloween lovers, if you don't want to deal with the hassle of driving around from shop to shop trying to find the perfect costume for Halloween, check out CostumeSuperCenter.com. They have many costumes to choose from, styles range from cute/fun, to sexy, to scary. They have costumes for kids, adults and furry friends. So even if you don't celebrate Halloween, I'm sure you'll find something at CostumeSuperCenter that you can use at your next themed party, cosplay event, or if you just want to spice things up a little at home. Oh and speaking of spicing things up, while searching for a Halloween costume I got distracted by the fact that CostumeSuperCenter also has sexy lingerie costumes and decided to go the sexy route. 

Visiting Texas: Comicpalooza 2015 (Recap)

Greetings my Superhero Butterflies! Comic, Sci-Fi, Fantasy and Anime fans were out in numbers for the annual Texas International Comic Convention known as Comicpalooza that took place this past weekend at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston, Texas and I have to start by saying, Comicpalooza 2015 was AWESOME!!!! This was my third consecutive year attending Comicpalooza and I'm super glad I did, I really had a blast all three days. I didn't capture anything as spectacular as last year's Star Wars Imperial March but none the less it was still pretty kick-ass.

 

Did you know there's a Comicpalooza App? I'm not sure if the Comicpalooza app was around last year but I discovered it this year, downloaded it and put that baby to use. The app really came in handy for planning my day at Comicpalozza on the go. I used the app to take note of all the cool exhibits, guest speakers, book signing, and photo opps I wanted to check out; I didn't do nearly as much stuff as I had hoped to. I really wanted to see Stan Lee, that didn't happen but there's always next time right?

Moving on, I sampled a new vodka while at the event; Virus Vodka. I thought the drink was ok from the small amount I sampled, it had a nice taste and texture. I'll have to look for it the next time I'm in the liquor store so I can really try it out and tell you guys what I think. I also found out while at Comicpalozza that there's a really cool superhero movie coming out next year, Superman vs. ...guess who? I'm really looking forward to seeing it.

There was so much to see and do, my kid had a blast. There was this guy in this Texan/Ironman kind of thing I thought was pretty cool and Lightsabers!? I considered getting one but my budget said no lol, maybe I'll pick one up next year or order one online from Amazon. Besides Lightsabers, I've been researching steel bone corsets for waist training purposes so seeing SteelBones.com at the event was a pretty neat coincidence and how cute was Rocket Raccoon from Guardians of the Galaxy? Fresh Prints, the printing company that printed the "my super power is blogging" shirt that I wore to Comicpalozza also had a booth at the event. Also saw the Mach 5 car from Speed Racer, bad-ass right!?

Althought I had the erge to blow my budget wide-open, I didn't. Instead, I only picked up a few small items like this nail art nailpolish from Nail Candy, a few random buttons (I was really geeked about my Dr. Who button), and because I have this thing for weird socks...I picked up a pair of socks from Femlin. Anyway, hope you enjoy the photos and see ya at next year's convention. Visit my Facebook page to view all photos from the 2015 Comicpalooza.
