Conventions, Cosplay, and Coconuts

I’m posting a bit earlier than anticipated this time.

Comic Con HNL is done and dusted. It was small and relatively disappointing. Still, we had a blast and can’t wait for Amazing Hawaii in September (which will be exponentially better).

We decided–last minute no less–to go as Amy and Rory from Doctor Who on the first day. We didn’t see many Whovians at all but a lot of people recognized the outfits. We did finds a decent 11th Doctor to take a snap with. I think we creeped the poor kid out though!

On the last day, we did Charlie and Dean from Supernatural, but there were so few people there, we didn’t even get a photo of our outfits.

We’ll be reprising those outfits for Amazing Hawaii, so no worries!

We did pick up some great artwork and a neat sign from a couple of booths in Artist Alley.

From FortheHalibut (she's on Etsy and also moonlight as a mermaids here on Oahu).

We ended up buying 7 prints from artist David K. Wong, including this awesome set.

We ended up buying across the board from him. We have a Calvin and Hobbes Star Wars, a Nightmare Before Christmas Doctor Who, a Deadpool, a Captain America Winter Soldier, and a Guardians of the Galaxy as well (I warned you, we’re huge geeks).

Despite being small and lacking in the turnout, we had so much fun. It was a nice weekend just to be out amongst fellow nerds.

Next up, we have the BN luau on Thursday. I’ll be back to add to this post afterwards.

The luau was just ok. Like I said before, we had already been to this one so it wasn’t all that great for the 2nd time. We had better-ish seats, but it was all the same. I’m still convinced we got swindled with the drink cards but whatever.

A lot of people didn’t show since they got the next day off regardless. I didn’t recognize anyone other than a few of the Mister’s soldiers.

It was way too hot (by Hawaii standards) to enjoy the show. Still, it was a nice outing that we rarely get. Gotta love something different!

I’m not sure if we have anything major going on this month. To my knowledge, we don’t have anything planned until September. If I can drag everyone out of the house, I think we’ll go to the beach this weekend. We’ll see how that goes…

If anything noteworthy comes up between now and Amazing Hawaii, I’ll be sure to post.

Until then!

Cheers!
