The Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo (C2E2) is just a memory now, and I had a blast! The convention floor was impressive. There were plenty of vendors, artist, and celebrity guests. From a cosplayers perspective, two things I loved right away were the changing rooms, and the wider aisle on the convention floor. Last year... Read more »

I knew that it was the second year for the convention, so I expected it to be small. I also figured, that since... Read more »

Because one Halloween costume wasn't enough!

image.attributes.post_excerpt
I have an extensive collection of costumes in my closet, so naturally one costume wasn’t enough for me this year. I suppose I was making up for my lame Halloween last year. Last Halloween I celebrated with a Smallville marathon, and I sort of half-assed a costume for work (but not a lot of people... Read more »

My Disney World Proposal

My boyfriend and I have been together for a little more than 2 years now, and I’ve always been a tough one to surprise. I knew he’d already purchased an engagement ring weeks before our trip to Orlando with his family, but I had no idea what the ring looked like, or when he’d pop... Read more »

Well, C2E2 has come and gone, and if you’re like me, you’re still getting over that nasty cold you caught from one of the thousands of strangers you came into contact with.

2010 was one of the best years of my life, and I owe a lot of that to this blog on Chicago Now! I’ve had a chance to meet people I admire, interview people I’m a fan of, all while doing the things I love (being geeky and wearing costumes). Looking back I found pictures... Read more »
