Day 2 of the Granite State Comicon 2025 ...

day 2 of the Granite State Comicon

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02441

The second day of the convention is the relaxed day. Eva had a very simple cosplay today as Adaine from Fantasy High. As we walked around together there were three people that recognized the character. Eva had made three special bottle cap buttons and gave them to the three people. 

after our breakfast at the bookstore down the street we came back tot he convention as it began. We decided to load upt he car and then went across the street to the SNHU center for the other part of the convention. There were things like the Big Dumb Robot convention where people displayed robots that they had fabricated with 3D printers and other materials. There were some amazing ones there, too.

Down on the floor of the arena were additional vendors. Eva found a tea to try and I picked up a set of books signed by the author and we even found some figures that andy likes to put together. They are called Eugy figures and they are made from cardboard or wood pieces that you glue together. Andy has a few of them and I sent them a photo of what ones were for sale and Andy picked out three. I told them it aht wouldbe from their own money because I had already spent the prior day getting several things for Andy. But I did decide that I'd pay for one and I also picked up a 4th one that I'll give Andy for their birthday.

After the SNHU center we walked back to the exhibit hall. eva caught up with their friends for the afternoon and I wandered down Elm street in search of lunch. I tried a few places but they were either closed or did not have what I was looking for. I finally settled on Bad BRGR. Got myself a burger in a lettuce wrap and enjoyed that. On the way back I picked up some cookies form Insomnia cookies to bring home for everyone.

When I got back to the hotel Eva was finishing up with their friends. Eva got a lemonade and was recognized as their cosplay for the third time. Actually the person came up wo me as I was holding Eva's stuff and asked if Eva was the character that they were cosplaying. I said yes and they told me to tell Eva that it was a great cosplay. I told them to wait because I knew that Eva had one last bottle cap button to give away. It made Eva's day.

We had a great time and then headed home around 2pm. It was nice not having a bunch of things that we had to do this trip and being relaxed was good for the two of us.

Review: Lumibricks Izakaya Building ...

The folks from Lumibricks sent me their latest building set, the Izakaya for free to build and review. Opinions are 100% my own. I've built a few sets from Lumibricks (formerly FunWhole) in the past and they are really fun and interesting. The photo above is of the Izakaya and also The Apartment. they are both part of a Cyberpunk theme called Neoncity. At this time there are also two additional buildings that you can build and add to this whole theme, the Game Stack and the Floating Train Station. The great things about these sets is that they light up. As you build you are also adding lights and wires and ways to illuminate the amazing build. Once you're done building you fire up some power and the lights blaze up. With Neoncity sets you get some incredible Nenon effects light signs and even neon tube lights. That is one of the coolest things about these sets is how the lights are incorporated into the build. Some very innovative bricks were made in order to thread the wiring...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02515 We put our tree up the other day and I had already bought the 2025 Hallmark Keepsake ornament for our yearly family photo ornament. I love these ornaments on the tree. We have them from 2005 to now.

Christmas Tree Is Up ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02510 Yesterday we put up the trees and today we decided to decorate the tree after dinner. Our tree is now mostly our family photo ornaments. We have a bunch of ornaments but with over 20 years of family photo ornaments it look like the predominant ornament type that we'll see. We did get a 2025 Hallmark one as well and I have to select this year's photo.
