My Vegas weekend

So this weekend my friend and my mentor when it comes to SEO, was running a Spartan Race in Las Vegas and he asked me if I wanted to accompany him before hitting NAB at the Las Vegas Convention Center.

Spartan Race is an obstacle course for those crazy people who enjoy getting beat up while running an 8.5 mile race.

So he ran a Spartan Race while I took photos and waited in the very dusty and hot Vegas sun. He and his race buddies all wore these super cool printed spartan bodysuits. They had an extra male version that I wore to support them.

So he finished his race and we settled into the apartment we were staying in for NAB show (national association of broadcasters) which we were both excited about since I play on both sides of the camera. 

We started our trek to NAB, thankfully we were staying literally next door. And walked around the convention floor. We got a ton of bags, pens and I got a bag of candy since all the booths are giving you candy as you walk by.

I got to talk to a lot of companies about cameras, equipment and all the fun things you can do with the amazing and new equipment that is out there right.

I had a wonderful time, missed all the parties and got to see my family who love in Vegas. Overall it was a wonderful and fun trip and I can't wait to come back to Vegas for the next convention or conference. 

D23 YAY.. now the 2 year wait.

So D23 ended 5 days ago.. and I have been so bogged down with school that I haven't had a chance to upload pictures. But I have 2 weeks of no school before I start school again for the fall so I am trying to get up on this.. but of course I am also trying to get everything else in order.

My friend was going to go as Russell from UP so I told him I would make a Kevin costume. I was so busy with school that though lots of planning went into it. I didn't finally start on the costume until Thursday before D23 (we only went Saturday) and I am truly pleased with it. I will be redoing some parts of it but the costume was a huge success. People kept coming up to us all day taking pictures and exclaiming how much they loved the costumes. We signed so many waivers to be featured on websites and were interviewed for tons of stuff. I am sooo happy with the weekend. The next convention coming up is Comikaze and I am getting myself ready for that with 3 costumes. It really is something I truly love doing.

We only went in one part of the Convention.. Mostly because I knew if I hit the sales room I would be broker then I am now. There was so much I wanted to buy, but didn't need.

There was so many cool things to see and do. I got a Litho of Tinkerbell autographed and I got the cutest toys. They had a scavenger hunt that was pretty awesome.

So here's some pictures of my costume and other awesome people in costumes.
