After the party in West Hollywood sunday, I went to Hollywood to attend another event a friend was hosting that night at the Dragonfly, Geek Pride. There was a type of speed dating that went on, burlesque, DJ, cosplays, and other nerdy stuff of the likes. I didn’t stay to long and only got a few photos because I spent most of the time just having out with everyone there.
I was entertained, and if it happens again and I’m available, I might be down.
Three, I repeat, three days of waiting in (rather short) lines, playing all kinds of demos, watching awesome videos, taking photos, getting some video of games I’ve played and recorded a few other people, and getting a bunch of neat prizes. I rather enjoyed that.
I would post more but I think I have some videos in mind to post from this event that might better describe how it all went down.
While at E3 I played with this neat little toy. The gun (the product on display) is called the PP Gun (I know, doesn’t exactly sound like the best of names) and has an iPad attached on. The game being played is called Rage that can be played using the device.
Interesting. I say check it out if you get the chance.
Well, these got online quickly. Once again I joined in the parade with PFLAG. I think it mades sense because I like to consider myself as a friend of the LGBT community. Before the parade started there was a lot of overcast, and soon before we stepped off it started clearing up. Something I have done every year was goto the end of the parade route before it starts and skate to the beginning, but this year I didn’t think I had time to do so and decided not to do that.
We were one of the earlier groups to go on the route, and as I skated along it I found a lot of bright and colorful people, as I always do every year. Plenty of humor, and of course the protesters shouting out their cheap insults. I wonder if they recorded that again this year? Saw some people I knew from Moorpark, and soon after found my self at the end of the parade route. after I said my goodbyes to everyone, I went to the nearby pavilions to relax my feet some. I see the Magic Mike float going bay, got a couple of shots only to learn later on Channing Tatum and Matt Bomer were on that float, and I have photos.
After the entire thing ended, I went up and down Santa Monic Blvd to get more photos of anything else I saw interesting, and I did get a nice bunch of things. Then after 5 I started to head to Hollywood for Geek Pride at the Dragonfly. I thought that was a nice way to end the day, and got to see some of my friends there who sadly weren’t able to get to LA pride because of other things going on for them at the time.
Well, this took a little while to load, and the fact I was at LA Pride yesterday, and then went to another event towards Hollywood, Geek Pride kept me out all day did cause a delay. I got back home last night so tired with my legs killing me, yet it felt so good with my weekend of insanity.
Any who, LA Cosplay Con, I went down taking the bus over and while I was talking to a couple of people, a girl also on the bus over heard me mention it and asked if I knew where I was going. Of course I do, and when we got off we just made a slightly longer walk then I had expected. I got to the hotel the event was being held at, changed into my Loki outfit. A friend of mine that was hosting a panel, and had a few others speaking on it invited me to come check it out on LGBT Cosplayers and how other people view them, and what it was like for each person when they came out as who they are.
I then went around the exhibit hall and an area just outside of the hotel but still a part of the property. Lots of nice costumes, and a few people I didn’t expect but all was good. It was a single day convention and strangely enough there was another event taking place over by the city of Industry also going by the name, Cosplay Con, likely trying to do that to attract people to that event which to me was much further away and I don’t care to head over for. Then after the con was over there was an after party taking place in the same place the exhibit was in. There was music, and dancing, and after a little while hanging out with some people I headed out. It was time for me to do so anyways, I had another party to join into the next morning.
I was there for the event that was only for the day. quite a bit to talk about but I’m tried right now. I went down as Loki.
That one moment playing Warcraft and the fishing daily in Thunderbluff takes sends you to one small place.
I’ve made a joke years ago, saying “I wish I learned Spanish, that way it would of been easier to pick up on hot Mexican chicks.” Then I mentioned something else like this line a little more recently to some friends of mine and some of them agreed.
