Long Beach Comic-con

20 Nov

This weekend is Long Beach Comic-con. NerdLush will be in attendance. It’s our first time. Our friend Steve Scott will be there (very excited as we haven’t gotten together in a few years!).

I’m itching to get some new interviews, so hopefully we’ll be able to make that happen while we are there. Fingers Crossed!

It’s seems like there should be plenty of fun cosplayers. And the guest list looks pretty good. So… I’m excited. Or not… as I’m sure to not get a lot of rest. But… that’s fun too.

The NerdLush Cosplay Rules, an update.

4 Nov

Last year, I published my rules for cosplaying via a post for Action Flick Chick. Since the basic rules became known, I’ve been thinking about additions. But until the other day, I hadn’t figured out what the next set of rules were. Well… this weekend, Emily and I (though D2 and Catie were also in attendance) attended Stan Lee’s Comikaze. This is our third trek to this event, but this was the first time we’d dressed up. Continue reading

So I went to the theatre… and learned about quantum objects.

I want to sit here and tell you all about NerdLush friend, Kirsten Vangsness’, one woman show, MESS, but honestly there is no way for me to describe it to you. I could tell you that it is a magical one hour plus of comedic genius- complete with musical numbers and choreography. Or I could tell you it was about kittens.

None of that actually tells you anything. But it is probably the best I can do. Continue reading

Grab your party clothes!!! NerdLush Halloween Extravaganza!!!!

19 Oct

Today’s the day.

At 8pm tonight, NerdLush, and friends, will gather at Soop Sok Karaoke in Los Angeles for a night of silly ridiculous fun. With costumes. And karaoke. And PRIZES!

We will celebrate the birthday of my bestie and one of NerdLush’s own- DeeDee! (Happy Birthday Lady!!! Love You!!!!)

We will sing and laugh and make merry.

We hope you will join us for some merrymaking!

Happy-Halloween-1024

 

Also, I hear we’ll be visited by Stewart in spirit, Scanners style.

Wanted… Dead or Alive… preferably alive, though.

I can’t be witty when I am tired. Bear with me. Just in from a a very fun concert event and though a review from me right would suck, I do want to share some. Essentially this is the important piece you need to know- Bon Jovi puts on a damn fine show. Continue reading

This week I entered the world of the voice actor at the Con Artists premiere at the Downtown Independent, LA.  The film is a mockumentary about “the madness of the convention circuit as seen through the eyes of two voice actors, who live in a sort of bubble of fame.” (Yuri Lowenthal)  You might know Yuri – one of the writers and stars of Con Artists – by his face (Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles, Shelf Life), but you would most certainly know him by his voice (Ben 10, Naruto, Afro Samurai).  He is not the only recognizable creator/writer behind Con Artists; but also his lovely wife, Tara Platt (Naruto, Shelf Life, Ben 10). The film follows their career as actors/voice actors, as well as the fame and fortune at the wonderful world of conventions – a.k.a. Cons( for my non convention going readers.) Continue reading

We’ll be doing the costumed karaoke thing. Again. I think it’s our thing… who cares, though- it’s a lot of fun.

Happy-Halloween-1024

We’ll also be celebrating the birthday of one of the crew (weird how this seems to keep happening)- Dee2.

We’ll have a costume contest, a karaoke contest, and snackies! Probably a cake or something too… it’s what we do!

The venue is a lot of fun and has free parking! No cover! But drinks and food at the venue are on YOU!

where? Soop Sok!

Drop a line to RSVP as space is limited- comment here, on the Facebook invite, on twitter, or send us an email! Whatever! Bring a friend!

San Diego Comic-con- I survived Con Crud!

2 Aug

This is probably the last significant post we’ll do about SDCC 2013, but I wanted to do a personal round up of my time there. Last year’s post still gets regular hits, so for some reason this sort of thing is of interest.

You want to see some pictures??

27 Jul

Well, if you do, go to the facebook page and peep some of the pics from SDCC 2013.

And with that… my con crud and I are going back to bed.

PS… did you see the videos? Check the youtube playlist (I’ve included older SDCC videos of mine in the list too)

San Diego Comic-con 2013 random panel clips

24 Jul

We sat in Ballroom 20 all day on Friday in order to catch a few panels that we wanted to see. Yes, this means we got up ridiculously early and got in line well before the con opened. However, what I mean by that may not be what you think- we got to SDCC at 6:40am and joined the Ballroom 20 line at 7:15am, got let into the room at 9ish, with the con beginning at 9:30. Not that bad, actually. We know that there were some people in our line the day before. So we felt pretty good about being in the first half of the group that filled the room that morning.  Continue reading
