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.

• Chris Evans (“Captain America”)
• Chris Hemsworth (“Thor”)
• Scarlett Johansson (“Black Widow”)
• Jeremy Renner (“Hawkeye”)
• Mark Ruffalo (“The Hulk”)
• Cobie Smulders (“Agent Maria Hill”)
• James Spader (“Ultron”)
• Paul Bettany (“Vision/J.A.R.V.I.S.”)
• Aaron Taylor-Johnson (“Quicksilver”)
• Elizabeth Olsen (“Scarlet Witch”)
• Director Joss Whedon
• Producer (and President of Marvel Studios) Kevin Feige

Yes, I’m going to be able to meet Captain America, Thor, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver, Agent Maria Hill, Ultron, Vision and The Hulk. And also Director Joss Whedon and Marvel President Kevin Feige. Such a great lineup. No Iron Man though… But who knows, he might be around. I’ll just have to be vigilant. If you have questions for anyone on the list, please leave them in the comments below.

My trip will also have me screening the Disneynature film Monkey Kingdom. In conjunction with that screening there will be a trip to the LA Zoo for a private tour. My camera will be clicking like crazy! I love photographing at the zoo near my house and I looked at the LA Zoo website and am looking forward to seeing all the animals that they have there.

Super Special, Super Secret Last Minute Itinerary Addition

When I posted my announcement post about attending the #AvengersEvent I didn’t know about a very special and super secret part of the trip. I’m going to go on a set visit to Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Because of the super secret nature of this visit and the fact that they will be filming some of the last episodes of the season I am unable to tweet, post, Facebook or take and photos while on set. I had to sign an NDA and everything. So I guess no selfies with Clark Gregg or Ming Na Wen. I really want to meet them along with the rest of the cast. I’ll write about it after and I’m sure that there will be a professional photographer with us and there will be photos of our trip that I will share in a later post.
