Kansas City 8/21/21
This is the 21st year for the event. The second time Jeremy and I have visited. I was telling Jeremy, “I don’t know if I should feel out of touch because I don’t know all these anime characters or I should be happy that at 47, I’m not a nerd.” Thanks to the Stewarts for the tickets!
Jeremy posted this on Facebook tonight. I thought it was perfect:
I know no one will believe us, because we don’t have proof (kidding that no one will believe us… pics weren’t allowed), but Kevin and I both stood literally two feet away from the following tv/screen actors at Comic-on: Barry Williams, Lou Ferrigno, and Sam Jones. It may seem a little funny, and If I were younger I might feel the need to make fun of these “old” people a little. But these guys are all a very big part of my childhood and memories. Who of my generation did not watch every episode of the Brady Bunch (a hundred times)? The Incredible Hulk was a show my mom and I LOVED to watch together, and Flash Gordon! Omg! I loved that movie so much, I watched it over and over again! They were all very gracious to the people we watched them take photos with and talk to without rushing them through. We were on a limited budget…lol, so we didn’t pay to go see any of them, but we were close enough to creep on them.
While we were in KC, we had to eat at the original “Jazz – A Louisiana Kitchen”
We also made a quick stop in Overland Park to continue our quest to photograph all of Kansas’ Strengthen the Arm of Liberty statues.
