Tampa was a cool place, but my trip there was basically filled with zero fun. Not to mention, I had to use a week of PTO to make the trip so I pretty much zapped my vacation for the rest of the year. To make up for that, my fiance and I decided to try to pack a week of 'fun' into our weekend.
It started yesterday with us finishing work and heading to PokeCon Austin. I've never been to a Pokemon card convention and wouldn't really call myself a serious collector, but we got some really cool stuff! The people were extremely nice for the most part and very welcoming. It was over an hour outside Austin though, so I'm not sure how well they ended up doing. I got a cool Pikachu card that looks like him in a Van Gogh hat. Apparently they were handing it out when the Louvre was traveling around Europe.
It was over 100* in Austin and part of the convention was outside so we were beat. We went to bed early and woke up this morning and rushed to Alamo to see Fantastic Four. Overall, solid movie and I can't wait to see more. I don't think I put it above Superman but it was still a good time.
An AMAZING fan also sent me this really cool Ten Little Roosters poster that is signed by nearly the entire cast. It instantly became one of my favorite things so after the movie we swung over to Michaels to get a frame. After that, we hung out at Barnes and Noble and got a couple books we probably didn't need. Rounded it out with a trip to Bath & Body Works to get a new candle which we have burning in the office now.
Tomorrow is going to be a big filming day. I'm going to be hitting five or six coffee shops they used for ANMA to get some content for shorts that I can space out. My fiance (who I'll just call Birdie from now on) is the only one of us that drinks coffee. She's super amped for the coffee exploration and I'm hoping to at least fit a burger in at some point.
Hope everyone else is having a good weekend.
