I'll write your name

 My outfit on Sunday for Comic Con day 2…
My mom got me these fun leggings last Christmas I think so I could wear them to comic con…






Top - Forever 21
Leggings, Hat - Vintage
Sneakers - Converses

SUNDAY:
Went super early in the morning so I can fulfill my volunteer duty to obtain a free ticket for that day. Got lucky cause the section they assigned me didn't have any line and they released us after one hour. It was nice and quiet on the convention floor so I had fun browsing and shopping. Got two free books signed by authors, bought some tee's etc… Then finally around noon my hubby brought down the kids and our friends joined us. Except by that time it was ridiculous crowded. I mean just too much shoulder to shoulder. You couldn't even take photos because you couldn't back up enough. Hence all the photos are pretty close-up. The kids, especially my son hated it. They hated the crowds they were overwhelmed and he kept saying he is not really into super heroes anyway. My daughter though liked it and I think she would have had more fun if I just brought her…
We went outside to check out those attractions but the kids didn't want to wait in any lines.
We made a family decision that I would never try to bring them to this even and go with my two girlfriends where we have a lot of fun. My daughter may be one day…
At least they saw what it was all about…

Comic Con 2015


My Comic Con Preview Night Outfit was inspired by this Forever 21 photo:
 I actually had a neon yellow beanie but with my hair and skin color it just looked awful on me. So despite the cliche of being matchy matchy I couldn't resist my Late Grandpa's aqua beret to go with this outfit… At least my Divergent tee from previous year's comic con had a pop of yellow in it….




A collection of my pins from previous year's comic con give aways. Very proud of my Hunger Game collection if I say so myself….

WEDNESDAY:
The first part of the day was quite a bore lugging the kids to two Dr appointments and drug store pick ups and hair cut errands. But after they had their fun babysitter come to hang out with them while I rushed out to meet my friends to take the Comic Con shuttle to downtown…
Every year I forget how the crowds feel especially cause we are so not used to that in San Diego.
Thousands people were flowing in and out of the convention center getting in lines for badges and entry. We get to go in for 'Preview Night' since we volunteered previous years.
Amazingly we were able to get the new Hunger Games pin only after two times of getting into the line. Then went through couple 'experience' booths and even went through a booth that was already open on the outside. And then saw the free preview of the movie 'The Gallows'…
Realized when we stopped that we had been walking or standing for 6+ hours and were absolutely exhausted.
It is hard to explain our attraction to the whole event. We are not into comics but Comic Con is rarely about comics anymore. It is all about the networks and movie production companies and sci fi movies and super hero toy brands and star sightings and mostly people watching.
And the fact that it is in our city and due to volunteering we can be part of it for free.
Furthermore, it is just something we share together (me and my two friends)….

Can't wait to take the kids for the first time this year on Sunday…






















Outside Attractions...







Walking back to take the 24 hour shuttle back to our cars way past midnight!….
