spokane comicon is the inland northwests' only Comic Book and Pop Culture show, created and ran by my wonderful husband! we work really hard all year on this, and the last 3 months leading up to it are especially busy. well, if you are in the area, or in washington in general, i promise you this will not disappoint. who does not want to meet and hang out with some seriously awesome Star Wars peeps? this is such a wonderful family event.

it's only $5.00 to get in and most of the activities are FREE. you can get your photo with a Star Wars Character, meet Charlie Schmidt, the creator of Keyboard Cat! yes! charlie will be here! he is a local spokanite and he will have all sorts of cool keyboard merchandise. The Lilac City Roller Girls will be here too! So much more, it's hard to list it all. But really, come check it out. There is a costume contest at 5pm, that is always such a hoot! Lanna will be going as Wonder Woman this year.

WHEN: saturday may 22nd 2010

TIME: 10:00am-5:00pm

this is not a comicon crowd...

well jump on board! nice to meet you! 3 years ago my very hot husband founded and started the Spokane Comicon. its been a big hit the last 2 years and we are approaching the 3rd show. this is such a fun event. there will be dudes in medieval costumes throwing things, there will be drawing lessons, heroes and so much more. this year we have added anime. take a look at nathan's website for all the info. and if you are in town, come on by! and yes...i will be there. lanna too.

spokane comicon

this is lanna and darth vader last weekend at an event on 'free comic book day'

superheroes unite!

please notice the 'rock'

it came. it rocked. it went.
just like that. after one year of planning and at least 6 months of hardcore planning the 2008 spokane comicon is over. for this year anyway. nathan and stephen keating worked into the wee hours of the night before setting up all of the 300lb cafeteria tables (that were supposed to be smaller maneuverable rectangle tables) into their place. they were given all the wrong tables, skirting and linens. they made it work. they set the room, and re set it again until it worked. and no one complained, so that was great. after a looooong night of making the room presentable we got up at the but crack of dawn and dropped nathan off to open the doors so the vendors could set up. in poured sculptures, paintings, toys, clothing and boxes and boxes of super-powered goodies. lanna and i went back home to get dressed and have a little breakfast. relax, we wore normal clothes. we arrived back at the station and helped where we could. we set up the raffle and admissions table. it started pouring outside and so did the crowd. we gave gift bags to the first 50 attendees and they were gone in about 8 minutes. there was a crowd of excited beings that waited in the lobby for the artists and vendors to finish setting up. the line was growing and we knew we had to let these people in soon or they would banish us to somewhere nerdy where they have bad hair and no earrings. i will put a link to the shutterfly album i made at the bottom. it will be of all my favorite people. yah, that pretty much means lanna. she found a rock. she found a rock and it meant business. it traveled everywhere with her that day and she left no superhero unaware that she was in possession of this rock.

"s'cuse me sir, can i show you my rock?"

"i don't believe you have seen this rock yet"

"you are not going to belive this rock!"

"i better let creamsicle take a peek in there"

then she shot him.

my husband did an amazing job. we had over 100 more people that last year, a costume contest, hourly raffles and 1.00 raffles and they were all a hit. nathan plans and organizes this thing all by himslef and i am so proud of him. he worked so hard on it and it paid off seeing all those smiles. way to go guy, i love you and you are awesome. and hot. bonus for me. i am looking forward to next year and being even bigger and better.
we went to have a little dinner tonight and there on the counter was the paper with the article in it. a little part of me wanted to point to it and say
"don't you know who we are? we're a really big deal."

rockin the dark side.
