Today I took Eva to New Hampshire for the Granite State Comicon. We headed up to New Hampshire about 8:30 and planned to get to the con for 10:00am or so. There were some panels that I wanted to see and some that Eva wanted to see. We both wanted to really see one of them because a voice actor from a show we both love was going to be there. The first panel was with Mick Foley from the WWE. I used to watch a lot of wrestling when I was a residence hall director at Saint Anselm and I saw Mick Foley wrestle live a few times. He was always entertaining. His panel was great and he was so down to earth.

The second panel that we saw was with Janet Varney. She is the voice of Korra from The Legend of Korra. Eva and I both love the show and because of that we were excited to hear her speak. I also convinced Eva to go to her booth so we could talk to her and tell her about how much Korra means to us. We paid to get the selfie below and I explained to Janet how I tried to get the kids to start watching Avatar (the show before Korra) and they watched one episode and they were done. Eva however, went and watched all on her own and I was disappointed because I wanted to watch together. We eventually got on the same page with the shows so that we could talk about them together.

Eva was cosplaying her favorite streamer, Technoblade and she got recognized many times. Sadly, the person who was Technoblade passed away this summer and that was very hard for Eva. I m glad that she continues to cosplay this character and she continues to improve her costume. She even met another person who was cosplaying as Technoblade. she was quite excited about that.

We stuck around for the costume contest. Eva did not participate because you had to have 50% of your costume as handmade and not purchased. I personally thought she could have done it fine especially after making much of her costume. But she decided not to so that was fine. Her decision. The costume contest was fun. there were many great costumes. We finished up and made it home at about 8:30pm. It was a long day especially after working the night before but it was worth it. We had so much fun.
