Year 5, Day 123

Dipping back to the HeroesCon well a bit, but we visited a Sonic artist with free coloring pages on her table. Sure, he's still got a ways to go, but he's getting better at coloring in the lines-ish! NOTE: Some of this was colored by Jaclyn. And now that I've typed that, I can only … Continue reading Year 5, Day 123 →

Year 5, Day 121

Having accomplished most of what I set out to do this weekend (and spent about as much money as I possibly could) by COB yesterday, today's final day of HeroesCon 2022 was wide open to be completely focused on one thing -- making it an experience that catered completely to Miles. Surveying an exhibit hall … Continue reading Year 5, Day 121 →

Year 5, Day 120

Not a hoax! Not a dream! Today, making its return after three years, marks the beginning of HeroesCon.

Year 4, Day 254

Today, after what feels like forever, Heroes Aren't Hard to Find finally hosted a comic convention here in Charlotte.

Under normal circumstances, we'd have a couple chances … Continue reading Year 4, Day 254 →

Year 2, Day 111: Baby’s First HeroesCon!

Be it blessing or curse, Father's Day weekend always brings with it the magic and exhaustion of HeroesCon. This year, with Miles finally aware enough to recognize both Spider-Man and Captain America, I was determined to spend Father's Day the way all fathers dream of -- forcing my hobbies and interests upon him in the … Continue reading Year 2, Day 111: Baby’s First HeroesCon! →

Year 2, Day 110

The Farmers arrived in town last night, which meant two things: 1) George and I were going to HeroesCon together today and 2) Miles and Audrey would get to spend all sorts of adorable time together that neither of us would be present for. They even got our friends Lori and Garrett's kids in the … Continue reading Year 2, Day 110 →

Day 112: Daddy’s First Father’s Day

Today was day three of HeroesCon, the event that annually swallows a weekend of my life (and untold amounts of my income) whole despite almost every person I know relentlessly scheduling other critical social events the same weekend. I can't help that it falls on Father's Day weekend. I'm also not that into self-aggrandizing holidays, … Continue reading Day 112: Daddy’s First Father’s Day →
