The Steel Shark: Photos, Designs, and Other Strange Stuff Blog
As much as I enjoyed my day there, I sadly didn’t get much. A lot was happening in the convention center, and much of it was part of a dance completion. So some of the people from that might be noticed in the background while in the lobby area.
Then when I entered the exhibit hall, there was defiantly less floor space used up. Of everything it turns out why the convention happened so soon was because other dates were already taken up so it was either set it at an open weekend earlier on, or not happen at all.
On top of the fact another nerdy convention was also happening that same weekend, and that didn’t help much at all. Hopefully next year won’t have this issue. But one upside was seeing some of the people there for the dancing event were rather fascinated with seeing the cosplayers. I let them know most of us are cool with them taking photos of or with us.
Because you should never be scared of cosplayers. Well, most of us.
Well that was a really good day. I was the ride captain for the Culver City group. Got a quick shot of some of my group as we were walking to the platform. Photos from this event and Long Beach Comic Expo will start coming online during the week. In the mean time I had a long weekend and I’m going to sleep.
I had myself a nice long day here, but can only be there just for one because No Pants is happening and that’s not something you miss. Here is a quick shot I got before I left. It was a long ride on the train.
From Moorpark. Now and then the schools head officer would set up this little game. Put on this pair and beer goggles, and see how well you would walk along the line. I tried it once and didn’t stumble around because I knew it was just an illusion. I got called a cheater but we still had a nice little laugh about it.
can’t believe how long it took for me to get this on Pokemon Go. I always thought it looked kind of weird, but there was something about it that I find interesting, I mean, fire and steel type. Seems almost kind of metal. Well, another legendary in the bag, and still so many more to go.
Awhile back while in Moorpark, for some reason the college decided it wanted to do a theme for that school year, The year of Science and Religion. I have no idea who thought this, or why it needed to be done, but I hardly cared. A fellow graphics student saw the poster, who like me, wasn’t much a fan of religion, stole it, decided to make something with the poster and added his own protest to it making use of the same imagery.
We were stunned to discover the poster was returned in a modified fashion but at the same time, we all thought it looked cool still.
On some days when at my place I have to walk by this one house on my way to the pokestop on pokemon go. And sometimes this dog is sitting in front just wanting one thing, to be pet. She will physically stop you just to have her head rubbed, then will just melt in your hands.
Much like Long Beach Comic Expo, this will also be happening next weekend. The plan is to cover this on sunday. I’m excited as always because this is the first major event I look forward to most after new years simply because of how wild it is.
At the moment to we are also looking for two more ride captains. If you are interested post on the event page on facebook.
So far this is in the plan for next weekend. My first convention for the year. I’m rather surprised it’s so early into it, and I know they will be competing with another convention that same weekend that’s less then an hour drive away. But if you ask me Long Beach is much easier to get to, mostly because of the metro. I just worry timing could be bad for them still.
It’s going to take awhile to get used to putting down the year 2020 instead of 2019. Anyways, I got video of this that I started later than I wanted by a few seconds. I didn’t realize I wasn’t recording but glad I did at that moment because I would have been far more upset. As of now I’m hoping the rest of the year comes out better then the last few days because that’s been sucking.
But anyways, happy new year.
