It’s No Joke, I’m Attending the #AvengersEvent April 9th-11th

I'm Attending the #AvengersEvent

Ever since seeing Iron Man in 2008 I have made movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe my favorites. That first movie was amazing and I couldn’t get enough of it. I watched it a few times in the theater and even dragged my dad out to see it as well. There were so many great moments in that movie. Then at the end there was the first of the “stingers”, those little final scenes at the end of Marvel movies that every fan knows to wait for. In that one we meet Nick Fury and learn that Tony Stark’s Iron Man is not the only super hero out there. Oh yeah, more movies were coming!

Fast forward to 2014 where I’ve watched every Marvel Cinematic Universe movie and rabidly consume every bit of information about upcoming Marvel movies. Allison and I watch Marvel’s Agents of Shield and Agent Carter. Then an amazing thing happened. I was invited to LA to participate in a press tour to view Guardians of the Galaxy and interview cast members like Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Vin Diesel, Dave Bautista and director, James Gunn. It was an incredible experience. A once in a lifetime trip.

Once in a Lifetime…

Or rather, TWICE!!

The incredible is happening once again. I have been invited back to LA for another Press Tour (All Expenses for Travel are being paid for. Opinions as always are 100% my own). This time I am going to view the upcoming movies, Marvel’s AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON and Disneynature’s MONKEY KINGDOM! I’m also going to get to interview cast members from Avengers: Age of Ultron (I don’t know exactly who at this time) and get a special tour of the LA Zoo in conjunction with Monkey Kingdom. This is going to be an amazing trip with 24 other bloggers. I cannot wait and it starts on my 41st birthday which is also the start of Year 11 of my Photo-A-Day project. 10 full years of taking a photo every single day.

Who am I hoping to meet and interview at the #AvengersEvent? So many names go through my mind because some many people are part of this movie. I would be so happy to meet anyone but if it came down to it then the people I’d like most to meet would be Robert Downey Jr. and Joss Whedon. RDJ because of all the movies I have seen him in since I was a kid and Joss because of how his imagination and vision has been so much a part of my life in the forms of what he has created. I want to thank him for that, for Buffy, Angel, Firefly, The Avengers and now Avengers: Age of Ultron.

Here are the people that I am going to interview. Lineup can be subject to change is not guaranteed.

  • Chris Evans (“Captain America”)
  • Chris Hemsworth (“Thor”)
  • Scarlett Johansson (“Black Widow”)
  • Jeremy Renner (“Hawkeye”)
  • Mark Ruffalo (“The Hulk”)
  • Cobie Smulders (“Agent Maria Hill”)
  • James Spader (“Ultron”)
  • Paul Bettany (“Vision/J.A.R.V.I.S.”)
  • Aaron Taylor-Johnson (“Quicksilver”)
  • Elizabeth Olsen (“Scarlet Witch”)
  • Director Joss Whedon
  • Producer (and President of Marvel Studios) Kevin Feige

If you are unfamiliar with either of these movies you can take a look at the trailers below.
