My #AvengersEvent Birthday


Photo-A-Day #3653

Today I was lucky enough to travel from home to LA so that I could attend the screening of Avengers: Age of Ultron. My forty-first birthday was many things. It was an amazing trip to see a great movie. It was the end of ten years of me taking a photo every day and the beginning of my eleventh year.

At this point I’m not posting anything about the movie. I have a bunch of posts coming up over the next month. I saw so much, met so many people and had some fantastic experiences that I can’t wait to share with you all.

The photo here was taken at Legends Plaza at Disney Studios. We stopped here briefly before and after the movie.

Things I’m Bringing to the #AvengersEvent


Photo-A-Day #3648

This coming Thursday is a big day. I will be heading to LA (All Expenses for Travel are being paid for. Opinions as always are 100% my own) to screen the upcoming movie, Avengers: Age of Ultron. But I’m not just flying across the country to watch a movie. No, there is going to be so much more happening. To prepare for the event I went to the Mall yesterday with the family to pick up a few things. But I already had a bunch of Marvel stuff on hand because I have been a fan for a long time. Pictured are a few things that I’ll be bringing with me on the trip. I am sure I have a few more things that will be coming with me as well.

I have had a Captain America Shield belt buckle for a while now. I just ordered a new belt. I had picked one up from Hot Topic but it didn’t work so well. That new belt should arrive on Monday. I also bought a Marvel wallet at Hot Topic that I love but forgot to take it out of my pocket for the photo. I’ll have to shoot that later. There is a Captain America Shield T-Shirt that my sister got me for my birthday. I grabbed a roll of Avengers themed tape. Not sure what I’m going to do with that. I also grabbed a Captain America Funko pop keychain. Rounding out my stuff are two things from my most recent Loot Crate themed COVERT. The are a Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. lanyard, the one that Agent Eric Koenig was always reminding people that they need. I also have a spy watch that tell the time when you press the watch face. Otherwise it is flat black.

It is funny. I sometimes think that I am like Iron Man but the more and more I gravitate towards Captain America. I don’t think I could pull off the cool factor that Tony Stark has. I’m more the quiet confidence of Steve Rogers. Can’t wait to see these two in action at the movie. I also can’t wait to meet Chris Evans, the actor that plays Captain America, while at the #AvengersEvent. See who else I’m going to interview below.
