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.

I'm Attending the #AvengersEvent

Ever since seeing Iron Man in 2008 I have made movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe my favorites. That first movie was amazing and I couldn’t get enough of it. I watched it a few times in the theater and even dragged my dad out to see it as well. There were so many great moments in that movie. Then at the end there was the first of the “stingers”, those little final scenes at the end of Marvel movies that every fan knows to wait for. In that one we meet Nick Fury and learn that Tony Stark’s Iron Man is not the only super hero out there. Oh yeah, more movies were coming!

Fast forward to 2014 where I’ve watched every Marvel Cinematic Universe movie and rabidly consume every bit of information about upcoming Marvel movies. Allison and I watch Marvel’s Agents of Shield and Agent Carter. Then an amazing thing happened. I was invited to LA to participate in a press tour to view Guardians of the Galaxy and interview cast members like Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Vin Diesel, Dave Bautista and director, James Gunn. It was an incredible experience. A once in a lifetime trip.
