Down to HoliDAY of Play in New York

In New York
Photo-A-Day 2.0 #00261

I drove down to New York City today for the HoliDAY of Play. I’ve did this same thing last year but had a driving buddy. This time I did it on my own. The ride down was a little boring but I was way more awake on the drive back. I am not sure how that is possible. Getting down to New York has been very easy the last few times but this time my GPS sent me a different way and I ended up on the other side of the island. I still got there right on time. Just with a bit more hassle. No problem, it was a nice day to drive.

The HoliDAY of Play tree

The HoliDAY of play is an event where the Toy Insider and the Pop Insider show off their top toys for the holiday season. There were a bunch of great things to see and I was able to chat with quite a few of the PR reps from the different companies that I have been working with for the past few years. I am able to take a look at the toys that I am going to recommend on my own Holiday Gift guide. This will be a video gift guide that I am doing in November. Be on the lookout for that!

I like this event because it is low key. I even put on my ugly sweater to get into the holiday mood. It was also very worthwhile to attend because I ended up winning a Nintendo Switch. Big gift for the kids is all set for Christmas!

Multiple Fandoms Mashed Together

I have a small shelf at the office that I am not too sure what to do with. It isn’t so much a shelf as it is a stack of those plastic things that you slide papers into. There is nothing in the top one so I have just been putting the things that have no specific place there. There is a large Godzilla Pop figure along with King Bob from Minions and Pop form. There are a couple of 3D comic book covers that I either got from Loot Crate of Marvel Collector corps. There is an Aliens figure that is walking a face hugger like it is a dog, a hydra employee of the Month mug and a few character shaped candy holders. A my little pony one, a Legend of Zelda one and my newest is a red mushroom from Super Mario Bros. I was going to shoot some sort of photo with that one with the caption of When you are feeling small. You know, because those mushrooms make you grow in Super Mario games. However they make you go fast in Mario Kart. All I know is that they are filled with little cherry sour candies that look like tiny red mushrooms, too.
