So…yesterday I went to a comic con

Yesterday the crew went to Lexington Comic and Toy Con.
Getting over a nasty stomach bug, I almost didn’t go. I’m glad I didn’t skip.Yes, I may have been almost 30 minutes late…I blame the bug.

I enjoyed the day but I did forget to do half of what I went to do. Again….I blame the bug.
I came home to discover I had only spent $20, which is  a record. Then I realized the big thing I forgot, John Wesley Shipp’s autograph.
I met him and everything. Totally forgot.
We went to his booth, a couple of friends got their photo with him and he  came out from behind the table to greet us all. Totally forgot.
We even went to his Q and A section. Still…totally forgot.
But aside from my major misstep in what I planned to get while there, we had a fun time.  I was hanging out with my nerd family and I got to be the Aunt who let a 5-year-old get  a Mountain Dew and bag of Swedish Fish as a snack on the ride home. Yep, I’m that aunt. You know the one who will always give you a quarter for bubble gum.

And that’s why we go. It’s always fun to meet the celebrities and buy cool stuff you can’t find everyday. But to spend that time with friends who are like family, that’s what it’s all about. That’s what Tuesdays with Mobot is all about.

We have fun wherever we go. Last week it was a field trip to a pizza place in an old jail (Jailhouse Pizza), this week it’s a comic con. It’s always an adventure.

This was my 6th or 7th comic con, I’ve lost count. I may have forgotten to get The Flash’s autograph and my feet hurt like crazy the next day but the experience to hang out with these peeps is priceless. I’ll always be grateful for these peeps, even the one who doesn’t like “Guardians of the Galaxy”…maybe.

The Lexington con is definitely a good one. Plenty of major talent guest, lots of vendors and some cool photo props. They just need a little bigger space to make it even better.

Thanks for having us Lexington! We hope to be back next year.
