So CanCon! Biggest Warhammer Age of Sigmar tournament in the world! Traveled up to Canberra to take part and had a fantastic time.
Travel
First visit to a Disney Park
Since I was little I’ve wanted to visit a Disney theme park. Living in Australia makes that somewhat difficult. But recently I visited both DisneyLand and DisneySea in Tokyo! It was a whirlwind couple of days, and I had an amazing time!
The Day Space Mountain Put On a Special Show
The very first time I visited and DisneyLand, and only the second time I attended any Disney theme parks I knew I had to ride Space Mountain. Whilst I was riding, Space Mountain died. Or coughed momentarily, then recovered really… but the end result was that I got an unexpected behind-the-scenes look at the inside of the roller coaster with the lights on!
Marvel : Creating the Cinematic Universe
When QAGOMA announced they were holding an exclusive exhibit of costumes and props used in the Marvel Cinematic Universe I needed to go to there. This exhibit was magical! It was possible to get very close to the costumes and see all the intricate detail in them, but that just made me want to touch the fabric to feel the texture in my fingers. I managed to resist the urge to touch, but only just!
Thought Bubble Festival 2016
The Thought Bubble Festival is the best geeky convention I have ever been to and I’m pretty sure I’m now ruined for Australian geeky conventions forever! There was so much for me to do and see that my head was spinning! I would absolutely love to go to another one in the future if I can!
Doctor Who Experience
Doctor Who is a TV show that taps into my desire to see and explore the world with wonder. It is mostly filmed in the BBC studios in Cardiff, so when I was vaguely in that part of the world I couldn’t resist wandering past (making a beeline for…) the Doctor Who Experience.
The Wicked + The Divine Art Exhibition
Jamie McKelvie is an amazing artist. As a part of the Thought Bubble Festival the gallery and cafe at Munro House is holding an exhibit of his cover art, which is incredible! I wanted to spend much more time there, and I hope to return after the festival.
