So I was in downtown today and came to discover near city hall what was called the, Really Really Free Market in which some people came by to drop some stuff off like food or clothing they didn’t want anymore for anyone else that came by that might want it there. I just took some water and little snack things. People also made shirts and shared stories and ideas with each other, nice little shindig going on.
I was in Downtown today to check on something in the area, and as I was walking by the bank tower I noticed a lot of people in front so I asked what was up. Pretty much it’s a fundraiser event for the YMCA nearby in what you do if you take part of the event is race up the building. There were also tents set up giving out drinks and promoting this new show on NBC Chicago Fire.
But yeah, the stuff I was given, like this drink called Mamma Chia, it was like a more liquified jello with chia seeds inside, and the guy at the tent kept giving me more. I thought it was good. Clearly Kombucha, which is some kind of fermented tea, I haven’t tried it yet but I’m sure it’s fine. This Amazon Coconut Water which I give to a buddy of mine on my way back to my place because he had a long day and he likes the stuff. Sad I don’t get to try it. And last something called CasCal, a fermented, natural soda… I tend not to drink sodas but lets see how this bad boy is anyways.
Wow, I’m doing a lot of promotion here. Maybe you guys can do something cool for me?
I went over with a friend of mine recently to the Museum and now posting the photos from it. Also went by the Science Center in the same little area, which is free.
So, yeah, I found myself bugging scientologists again this month. Wow, thats something I didn’t except myself doing, why not, was fun. And we had some douchebag try and intimidate us because a few of us sat down on this wall in front of this one little building telling us to stop harassing him. Yeah, he came out and started making lame insults and we are harassing him. A guy there got some video of that so I’ll post that up later.
From the room I was staying at during Comikaze, and as I was looking at couldn’t help but to think just that… “No abortions allowed.” I know, my sense of humor is horrible but thats why people love me. Or so they tell me.
Of course they are going to be by one of the subway stations. I was in the area the other day and as I was heading back home I was talking to this one guy. And before we went underground I saw them crossing the street, I decided to get a quick shot of them thinking “I know what I’ll be posting on the site” then proceeded to head underground.
So here they are, photos from the second and last day, took more this time around. How the day started off this time was I went up to the press booth and let them know that I had emailed them a few times asking about getting a press or pro pass but never heard from them. So they asked me a few questions and if I had a card just to make sure I was legit and got what I was after. Now, a long with taking more photos I really roamed around the exhibit hall a lot more and talked to the artists, actors, writers, vendors and such.
For example I saw The League of S.T.E.A.M. guys again from when I saw them at Comic Con in which I still haven’t seen the videos on the site but I should because it has one of the writers from Batman Beyond and Justice League, and I enjoyed those shows a lot. I also ran into someone I knew in Moorpark awhile back in the artist ally, selling some of her drawings and such which I’m not sure I’ve seen any of her work before till last weekend. I would say it’s all good. And there was Steven E. Gordon whose done work on X-Men: Evolution and long with a few other shows and movies I liked only to later find out he worked on a lot more stuff I liked. And lot of good art on his site along with some neat drawing tricks. And last I found this booth with fossils and replica of different animals like a Smilodon skull and Megalodon Tooth to help promote Jurassic Con and the Cooper Center Paleontology Lab. Come on, I like that kind of stuff to.
You know what, I had a lot more fun then I expected I would.
So the day started off heading down the convention center with a couple of friends of mine ready to cause some mayhem. It was rather hot out to. So we get in line and for our passes. I was going to ask them about a problem I was having in which that I emailed them asking about the possibility of getting some kind of press or professional pass and never heard from anyone, but then I had someone come up to me saying they had a bunch of extra tickets and gave me one of them so I used that for the day. Mainly what I did was take photos of people and talked to those I was hanging with. Wasn’t exactly a big con but then again it is still relatively new so it very much has room to grow.
I got this awhile ago, and wanted to make this a caption photos but kept forgetting about it. oh well, what is it anyways?
