Fan X

This past weekend was so much fun! Not only was it the super bowl and not only did I eat my own weight in bean dip but Blake and I went to Fan X!! For those of you who don't know, Fan X (or Fan Experience) is almost exactly like Comic Con, the only difference this time around was they put a cap on tickets so it was not as crowded. Now I know what you are thinking, and no, Blake and I don't dress up but I've been trying to convince him to! Maybe next time I'll be able to get him, but this time we just wore our nerdiest t-shirts.

I love Comic Con and Fan X not only because I am super nerdy, but also because there is literally something for everyone. They have huge rows of booths with all kinds of crazy and fun things. Another thing that is cool is that they have everything from mainstream pop culture to unknown aspiring authors. Seriously, I saw a My Little Pony artwork booth sandwiched between a Star Wars art booth and a Super hero booth. Those booths were back to back with the Studio C and Lord of the Rings booth! They also had things from Pokemon, Legend of Zelda, Harry Potter, Game of Thrones and so many more. Seriously they have stuff from EVERYTHING. Name something you really like on TV and they have a whole art booth dedicated to it. During the whole thing I was so mad I forgot my camera, but Blake and I took some pics on our phones, so here ya go!

Outside there was a giant Baymax, and we thought these people were part of the display. Turns out they are just really awesome at dressing up! Sorry the quality is not super great, but it's my favorite (only really only) picture of us at FanX.

Here's Blake lookin HOT and taking a break from the cosplaying crowds. 

I snapped this pic while we were on the escalator, I tried to get it to show the huge crowd of people and all the booths, but I was too slow. At the last Comic Con, Blake and I bought some Star Wars art but this time we just bought some decals. Blake got a Darth Vader one for his computer and I got a pink power ranger one for my namesake -- Kimberly! I also had the experience of trying on a corset (not pictured because of REASONS) and I have gained so much respect for the women who lived back when those were a closet staple! 

Here's a picture of me and Blake Golem. 

And this here is a stalker photo of my favorite author, Brandon Sanderson. Seriously guys, y'all NEED to read his books. Blake saw him right before his panel, and like the creepers we are we went up and talked to him. Really in my case I was just talking AT him. I was like "Hello, last Comic Con when I first met you I didn't know who you were, but now I've read all your books -(begins to whisper creepily) all of them," I knew I was being really weird but at this point but I couldn't stop talking and I literally had nothing coherent to say. I'm sure he gets that all the time but I could tell he was weirded out. haha! The author sitting by Brandon (the one with the hat) is Dan Wells, and he talked to us after the panel and even signed a book Blake bought from him! He's a way cool guy!

Anyway thanks for reading! I hope you guys have a great week! Happy Monday!
