Stephen Amell and David Ramsey come to SLC Comic Con

So for me there were a couple really memorable panels at Comic Con; Stephen Amell and David Ramsey, Mark Hamill, and Billy Boyd's panel. I want to share my experience attending the Stephen Amell and David Ramsey panel. The other ones will be coming in later blog posts, don't you worry. ;) One of the reasons that this panel was so memorable is because of how the celebrities interacted with the fans. I liked how they focused on the person asking the question. Their was one question that was asked of Amell wondering if it would be possible to have hot pink t-shirts for his "F*** Cancer" campaign, because hot pink symbolizes all the young women who get breast cancer. He told us that the next time he posts about the t-shirts for the campaign on his Facebook page to comment with "hot pink", then he said something along the lines of "then even someone like me will remember". I was really impressed!

The second reason that this panel was memorable was for the information that I don't think they were supposed to share. "I really miss John (Barrowman)," Stephen Amell. "I really miss him too," David Ramsey. Then once they realize what they said Stephen proceeds to start heading off stage. What happens to John's character?!?!


The third thing that was extremely memorable was when Stephen Amell announced that he's going to do American Ninja Warrior in 2017!!!!!!! An attendee asked a question about when he was planning on doing it. Stephen said that the desire to do the show has only gotten worse, as in it hasn't gone away. Then their was a long drawn out pause, I thought that he was done answering the question.  Then he said in 2017! He said that he said he hadn't even talked to his producers and that he was streaming this to his Facebook page so no he has to do it. As you can imagine the audience went NUTS!! Myself included. :)
I am so grateful I was able to attend this panel and I'm so grateful to Bryan Brandenburg and Dan Farr for getting these two amazing people to Salt Late!!
PS- Check out David's arms!!

Salt Lake City Comic Con 2016!!!!


So I (of course) went to Salt Lake City Comic Con! I went with my two sisters and we had a super amazing time! Was it perfect?...  no. Was it still awesome?.... HECK YES!!!!! Here are some pictures to give you some idea of how much fun we had!
We found the concubines from Mulan! These guys are utterly fantastic, and they were so nice to us! I like how I match the one I'm with! ;) 
Doctor Strange and Moaning Myrtle... not a combination I ever thought I would see! ;) Didn't my friend do an amazing job on his costume!!!
I had Evanna Lynch sign the Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, which come to find out is her favorite book! How perfect is that?!
It wouldn't be Comic Con without a picture in the TARDIS. Especially when you're Amy and your sister is Rose..
Elizabeth Bennet (from Pride and Prejudice and Zombies), an assassin, and Moaning Myrtle.....
I love my sisters!

We are such nerds... And I love it!!!
Moaning Myrtle on the Throne??

Amy and Rose

I kid you not, when I said, "Jack can I have a picture?" His response was, "Their should be a Captain in there somewhere". I loved him!
The thing I heard most frequently on Saturday was "I found Waldo!" I even got asked to take my picture, which made me so extremely happy!
Arthur Darvill, aka Rory Pond and Rip Hunter.
Katie Cassidy, aka Laurel Lance/ Black Canary

Henry Winkler, aka THE FONZ! "Do NOT snap at women! That only works on television".

Evanna Lynch, aka Luna Lovegood. "Spread the Lovegood-ness around."

Billy Boyd, aka Pippin. We brought him "second breakfast"!


This is just a little bit of the awesome-ness that went down at Comic Con, and I didn't even mention Mark Hamill and Stephen Amell! ;) I will talk about some of my favorite moments in some later posts. I also took a TON of pictures but I figured that this post is long enough as it is. ;)
