So, I didn't go to ECCC yesterday, but I did get the chance to go today. Didn't buy much, but what I did buy is truly amazing. I also got to do something amazing. (Warning, large images.) Basically, I got to chat with Stuart Sayger again, along with buying a Green Lantern print that he signed, then took a photo with him, and wore the Tower of Plimps on my brick badge for a brief time before packing it away. Today was a good day.
Today was day one of Emerald City ComiCon. I didn't waste any time in this fac Click for OneDrive folder I had both 2001 Comic #1 and 2006 Comic #1 signed by their respective artists. Stuart Sayger is an amazing guy to meet, and I regretting not having other comics for him to sign so I could justify more time just talking and getting to learn more. I may consider commissioning art for BS01 from him down the line.' Carlos D'Anda was also very pleasant to meet, and I was in awe of his othe
Looks like I'll be going again. And we have bigger plans for models this year 8D Also December will be pretty packed for me as far as work goes. I'm hoping to do a few things for BS01 and HS01 (like finish updating HS01's main page to BS01's standards, and bringing BS01's main page up to completion) but the time's limited. I didn't even get to finish Halo 4's Spartan Ops episode this week yet. x_x
Emerald City ComicCon was epic. Our booth was in the very opening of the registration room, so we got plenty of visitors. We also had a few guests visit the booth and check our stuff out. Wil Wheaton signed a model depicting himself signing the model. Very meta. The voices for Pinky And The Brain signed a mosaic of the characters, which was pretty epic. John DiMaggio visited the booth, but was bummed to find nothing there for him to sign (he voices Bender in Futurama.) As for me? I MET BATMAN.
So, I doubt there's any WWE fans who regularly read my blag, but yeah, I wanna comment on the major matches. Spoiler tags for those who did not see it/can't see it.

Man, chaos all around x_x So, I'm planning to attend ECCC this Friday (Yay SEALUG free pass!) and enjoy the event. We're taking 12 of our Superhero Megafigs (the 12x minifig models we make), all Marvel, including a Stan Lee model. They will be on display along with the other SEALUG and ARCHLUG models. I'll see if I can get photos while I'm there, if anybody is interested. Who knows, I may run into other BZP people there, I hope? Like, can I not be lonely that day? : D Second, I'm also in the
You know, I don't get it. Everybody says Everything Is Awesome is stuck in their heads, though it isn't in my head. I've even been playing the Lego Movie videogame and they play it every time you obtain an objective, and it STILL isn't stuck in my head. Having said that, I somehow got all of the songs from RWBY Volume One's soundtrack stuck in my head now. Perhaps it was a -bad- idea to download both soundtracks to my phone on the same day. Also blah boredom and blah busy work schedule.
"Why did they do it? We tried to warn them, but they wouldn't listen..." -Scientist in HL1.
So yeah, why oh why did someone HAVE to retrieve the Mallard of doom? Now BZP's in for the fads again.
I figure this should close off my blog, it's been fun guys. Let's do this again next year.

Edit: Wow, I can still edit this? Sweet. -Swert
So I've come to figure, what could possibly doom BZP if it were to return?
We've covered Plushie Fad, so I'm thinking what's worse?
I am [insert user name here], perhaps? Or perhaps the infamous Ducks?
I can promise you, if Ducks came back, we'd be in trouble.
Oh, perhaps combine old fads? Plushie All Your Base? That would scare.
Let's go ahead and dedicate this blog entry to thinking of what would doom us all.

So, awhile back (for those few who actually read and/or comment on my blog), I took it upon myself to spend one whole week, during bus trips, listening to nothing but Pink Floyd. All 14 studio albums on the trips to and from work. Cholie brought up The Wall on his blog, leading me to a good question: What would be my favorite Pink Floyd album, if I had to do a retrospect (or Swertrospect, since inevitably everybody thinks I should name everything after myself)? I have to say, before this exp
A topic came up a long time ago (in a blogpost far, far away) in I think Black Six's blog. The subject was what movie order would be suffice showing someone who has never seen Star Wars the saga. Now, there appears to be several camps, with the mass majority being the 4-5-6-1-2-3 and 4-5-6 camps (skipping 1-2-3 as much as possible) but I came up with one that I'd like to share, this being May the Fourth (it still is in PDT, anyway). The order I formulated was 1-4-2-5-3-6 (then 7 when it comes
We got the trench on when I left, but I got a photo from sooner than that. When I left, Dan began installing our ribs across the top, then panels go next. I'll have a new photo by Monday.
Please let me go back two hours to get the two extra hours of sleep I need so I can wake up at 7 AM for work at 10:30 AM. I promise I won't ask for it again... until the next work day. ... D:
... I want. So badly. Unless it's just like Iron Man. Then it's going to fail. So badly. ... Too bad they couldn't get Rocksteady to make it :\ That'd be epic.
This entry is everything but what the title says it is. So I'm snowed in. 7-8 inches of snow on my roads, and of course we're not used to it here in Washington. I'm certainly not used to it, but I love it nonetheless. I was scheduled to work today, in fact. Called my boss at 8 AM and he said "Yeah don't even risk it." I'm scheduled so far for Friday at the earliest now. BS01's host had some issues today, so we were down. Nothing was lost, it's all still there, and we're back. I promise it
First off, is it just me or is it weird to have a 20 MB update download faster than it takes to install? Anyway, so a few people already heard, but remember how I mentioned I was waking up at 6:30 each morning this week to host workshops? Yeah, nobody showed up. Great. So I switched back to my normal schedule and proceeded to work on a new project. Once it's done, I will show you all. Hint: Remember Green Lantern and Captain America from the Bricks Cascade photos on the main page? They h
So I've been placed in charge of coordinating a (rather small-ish?) table area for a Lego art and play event in Tacoma, WA. I've already begun planning how it will form together, but the fun part still comes in that I need to build about 7-10 new items that go towards it being awesome, including a new display case for my masks. In other news, if you happen to hear from the TTV Brickfeed podcast I was on, I actually left my job of six years recently. This is one of the contributing factors in l
Then I remembered nobody talks to me anyway. Oh well, let's see what everybody thinks of doing one. Also BrickCon! Y U NO GETTING HERE SOONER? D: Sorry, had to
I must stop blagging soon enough, but I must ask the question before the day is out.
What happened to Concept Albums? Seriously, it seemed like every single mainstream band put out one of these puppies every 4-5 years, and now it's rarer than a decent Generation One Pokémon card.
Let's be honest, would you rather listen to 12 songs with barely any connection to each other, or 12 songs which tell a story of either love, hate, anger, passion, peace, war, anything? I mean, come on artists of
Just in time, too. My current phone isn't doing so well. Also yes, I'm building a replica hoop skirt out of LEGO. Good on ya, Xaeraz. (... Yes it's a Death Star.)
So some have come up to me on various chat programs and asked, "Do you like Coke or Pepsi?" Well actually no, they ask if BS01's going to add BL11 spoilers on the day the book comes out, but I'd rather discuss Coke vs Pepsi, so I will.
I have had nothing but good things to say about both products. On one side, I love Pepsi's Cola, but on the other I love the Coke version of the Cherry flavoring. Also, don't even try to force me to drink Diet Pepsi.
So, why discuss it? I clearly have no fav
I'll be working on setting up this year's train layout. Would anybody be interested in pics and/or a video of one of the trains going on the track? Also, I could use a break already x_x but I have Wed-Fri off : D
