(Mega Con) Dallas Fan expo 2016

On the road again! Yup Nana The Red and Two Fairies and a Dwarf are at it again!

This time we are in for the long haul! Dallas Texas for the Dallas Fan Expo! Can you feel the joy radiating from this post?!

Here are a few snaps from the show!

Our Thankful Thanksgiving!

My son was in a really bad car accident within hours after landing in Austin. I was asked to help make the drive so that family could be there for those involved so off to TX we went!

I only got to spend 2 days with my son but it was enough to know he was alive, out of surgery and on his way to healing up! I think he had a very nice visit overall~ He got to spend time with loved ones in Dallas and I got to spend Thanksgiving with loved ones and my Best friend Sarah!

We did some site seeing while we were in town. Went to see the "Gone with the wind" exhibi, did some shopping with my bestie and you know I stopped by Dragons lair to see the new shop and visit friends!

Here are a few photos from our unplanned visit to Austin~ Thankfully the weather held out until we were headed back to Sunny Florida!

So much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving.

Posting in 09’

Going to “try” and get some more postings up for 09!
Things have been kind of slow around here. We bought a new home last August and we have nearly gutted the entire house. We are walking on concrete foundation and looking at sheetrock ceilings…Most of our belongings are still in boxes out in the garage and the living room furniture is still at the other house (The one we cant seem to sell!)
We are still playing WOW when we have time and the Wii is hooked up in Little D’s bedroom but most of our time is being spent on house repairs.
This coming weekends goal… Scrape the ceiling in the Formal Dine, Living, kitchen and Den. Also to get the kids to write a review for whatever game they want to.It sure will be nice when the house is finished and all our Pc’s have a dust free place to call home!

Happy New Year!

Repo! The genetic opera

“I think that the REPO! Road Tour must be seen to be believed. REPO! has inspired a community, and that community shows up in force on the road tour to bond, sing, and show off their fan-made REPO! costumes and props. I imagine this is what being there on the ground floor of The Rocky Horror Picture Show experience 33 years ago must have been like.” Stated Terrance Zdunich Actor/Co Creator."

This is EXACTLY the way I feel!
This movie is amazing! It is definitely going to be the next costumed fan craze!
We went to see Repo with my Sister in-law, my friend and my friend’s husband.
I don’t think my friends hubby liked it too much but OMG I couldn’t take my eyes off the screen! Plus we saw it at the Alamo here in Austin TX so we had food and my favorite cider! I could just imagine a spaghetti Repo night at the Alamo!
Just like the RHPS you MUST go see this movie at least once in your lifetime!
I’m going to buy it as soon as it hits DVD!
There are visions of costumes dancing in my head!

GO SEE IT! http://www.repo-opera.com/

WOTLK Midnight release, Austin TX

WOW: Wrath of the lich king
We promised our son “Little D the terror” last May for his Birthday that we would take him to the midnight release of WOTLK. So here we are bundling up for another chilly midnight release night at our local game stop.
It’s not as cold as it was for the release of burning crusade (it was snowing for that one!) but still chilly and on a school night!
We have two cold children and two cold parents standing in line to get four hot copies of the game!
The kids made out like bandits though the guy at game stop handed out sour candies and I even convinced the guy to give me the midnight release poster for Little D!
WOOT I love free LOOT!
Afterwards it was off to taco bell and then too….
Make our Death knights DUH!
I am so freaking excited!

Maker Faire Austin TX

This weekend we attend the Maker Faire here in Austin TX. There is so much to see and do it’s just amazing! Up and down the massive merchant rows you can find many “How to” and “Samples” of some really cool things! They had a giant working Mousetrap game, battling bots with and without fire, an awesome laser show band, and my favorite R2D2 and R2D4. I just HAD to get my photos stealing a kiss from R2D2! Then he followed me around a bit too funny! I would have taken him home! The kids really enjoyed the laser piano, and we all enjoyed the hula-hoop station! I’m going to make us some hula-hoops for sure! Interested in attend the maker faire? See their website here! http://makerfaire.com/The only thing that made me a bit sad was there wasn’t any steam punk stuff that I seen at our Austin show. “Pout” I seen photos online of some really awesome steam punk things and I was really hoping to get my hands on some project or new gear!

Happy Birthday Natsu!

Yup the only thing Geeky for the month of September is Natsu had a Heroes Birthday Party just in time for the new season!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NATSU!

Rocky horror picture show Austin TX.

Tonight we attended the RHPS at the Alamo.
We took our Daughter age 13 and one of my friends (A RHPS virgin as well).
The show here in Austin is a bit more risqué than the showings in FL that we are use to but nonetheless we had an awesome time!
Natsu knows the soundtrack to RHPS front ways and back so she was very excited to attend a live action showing of the movie. She only turned her head during a few scenes and it wasn’t because of the movie… I even got her to go up front with the rest of the RHPS virgins! KeK.

It’s something everyone should do at least once in your lifetime or several if you’re a fan like me!

FYI JC Penny

Just wanted to let everyone know that I was at JC Penny shopping this week and seen some gamer themed Tee’s on Sale for 9.99.
I got the Mario Tee Black and white sassy looking Mario on it.

Wolf Quest

Educational gaming! We are currently trying this game out.
The controls are a bit tricky but the idea is good.1st Quest- Find a Mate! (Snicker)

"Learn about wolf ecology by living the life of a wild wolf in Yellowstone National Park. Play alone or with friends in on-line multiplayer missions, explore the wilderness, hunt elk, and encounter stranger wolves in your quest to find a mate. Ultimately, your success will depend on forming a family pack, raising pups, and ensuring the survival of your pack.
The WolfQuest experience goes beyond the game with an active online community where you can discuss the game with other players, chat with wolf biologists, and share artwork and stories about wolves."

Mothers Revenge

Just wanted to say that WE LOVE GUITAR HERO!

I've been playing Co-op with my friend Eva Wild1 my band name? Why it's "Mothers Revenge" of course!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I'd like to say..

I LOVE YOU MIDGARD_PAPA! I got a late Yule gift in the mail today. A new Dell XPS 1530! SWEET! I love it! XOXOXOX

Hope everyone has a wonderful and safe New Years!

AFK Yule!

I have been AFK and can you blame me the Holidays are crazy!
Now that all the hoopla of shopping is over we can sit and enjoy the gifts of the season! You know I mean all our new games!
I got my very own red and black DS lite with Yoshi, Brain age, star wars Lego and Flash focus.

Wii games that are new to us are Guitar Hero 3, pokemon battle revolution, Brain Academy Wii Degree, Mortal combat, Resident evil, Red Steel, Need for Speed Carbon, Ninja bread Man, and Mario Strikers charged.

Guitar Hero has been the most played closely followed by Need for Speed.
We also got two sets of Wii control chargers to help with the Battery drainage.
Three new Books for Little D a new Bow and Dartboard are keeping him busy while three new kimonos (one from Japan) a Japanese tea set and a pile of new clothes and make up are keeping Natsu occupied.

Mom is chilling out with her new Ds while she grills up something for dinner using her new grill set and can video the whole thing with her new Digital video cam and Dadio is trying out his new GI, leather jacket, and Air tools out in the garage.
I think its safe to say everyone here had a good Holiday thus far!

Did I forget to say...

The Ice cream festival truck came to see us yesterday!

SORRY I was so excited and exhausted yesterday I forgot to write about it!

I won a free visit from the Ice cream festivals ice cream truck with my Popsicle stick Mario and Wario sculptures back in August. I scheduled the visit for Natsu’s Birthday Party.

Right at 3pm the doorbell rang, it was the ice cream truck loaded with frozen goodness for our party! The kids went running wild yelling ICE CREAM WOOOOT!

The lady was so nice she even let the kids climb aboard the ice cream truck and pick what they wanted.

I know some kids had 3,4, and even 5 ice creams with in 45 minutes! CRAZY!

After the mad dash for free ice cream was over I sat down with a spoon and my individual size cup of old fashion vanilla blue bell ice cream and enjoyed every bite!

YAY Ice cream festival! YAY Mario and Wario! YAY FREE ICE CREAM!
