Beyond My Geeky Life

I love going to sci-fi/geeky conventions. I get out to as many as I can in a year. Normally I can make it to four or five, even though here in Colorado it seems we average at least one a month, especially if you can travel all over the state. We are a geeky state. Last weekend we showed the world just how geeky Colorado can be by holding the Denver Comic Con and having an attendance of over 101,000 people. We have solidly put ourselves as one of the top five comic con. One of the greater aspects of DCC is the chance to meet various celebrities from all aspects of entertainment. This year I left with a lot of enjoyable experiences like the conversation I had with Anthony Michael Hall that covered his time on Saturday Night Live, Robert Downing Jr and joking about him getting a role in a Marvel movie. It was not a long exchange, but it was enjoyable and I left feeling like Hall was the type of person you would want to hang with. I can say the same about the incredibly talented voic...

The family went and saw Avengers: Age of Ultron this afternoon, in 3-D. It lived up to the hype and clearly set up a lot for future films. A lot of little treats for us comic fans as well as some real surprises. Marvel studios has yet another hit on their hands. Before the film started we were treated to the trailers. Several of them I had already seen on-line, but now I got to see them in 3-D. This included the one movie that will most likely give Avengers a run for top movie of the year and caused me to geek out big time. The trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens was awesome to begin with, but to see it on the big screen, in 3-D... That in itself was worth the price of a ticket. I really have faith that episode 7 will get the Star Wars franchise back on track. And to keep this geeky weekend going strong, tomorrow is free comic book day. I am always up for free comic book and will be going to Mile High Comics to take part in the festivities.  And we already know that...
