Our final day
in Calgary was really nothing to be excited about. The big events at the Expo
were over with and many of the booths had had their merchandise severely picked
over by the time this day came around. That made shopping for items a little
less exciting than it was on the first couple of days. That didn't stop me
though. There were a few things that I wanted to get, but I wound up only
getting one of the items that I wanted. And that one item wasn't even for me.
My hunt
started looking for a new case for my phone. Unfortunately the ones that I was
interested in and looking at didn't fit my phone. Unfortunate, really. I was
hoping to switch out my Hufflepuff case (yes, it's true, if I were in Harry
Potter, I would be a Hufflepuff) for something a bit more superhero-ish. But,
alas, it wasn't meant to be. I'm alright with that though. Hufflepuff, to those
who are familiar with the books and/or movies, is a very clear indicator on my
personality and who I am. Besides, it goes with my Hufflepuff scarf (that I
picked up in London at the Harry Potter Studios).
"Riddle
me this, Batgirl" seems to be a phrase that I utter quite often, and so my
next item to hunt for was something with Batgirl for a friend. I found the
perfect item during my wanderings on the previous days and made the purchase on
the last day. It's a little statue of Batgirl from the DC Nation short 'Super
Best Friends Forever' (which is pretty humorous, give it a watch here) and I
felt it was particularly perfect! That would be the only item that was
purchased on the last day, but there was a little bit more wandering to go on
before packing up and heading home.
The drive
home was spent listening to a Black Library audio drama and when that was over,
we switched to listening to Marvel's Civil War by Graphic Audio. They
honestly have the greatest audio books I've heard. As their tag line says, it
is literally "A Movie in your Mind". I highly recommend giving their
audio books a listen! But all the excitement of audio books aside, I was
looking forward to getting home and sleeping in my own bed. As enjoyable as the
Expo was, it didn't really feel like time off from work. It was all go-go-go
and quite busy. Next convention is EekFest, where the guest is Caity Lotz
from Arrow (who plays Sara Lance, aka The Canary). And then 2 days after that,
I head off to Europe for three weeks!
Sinceriously,
-Chad
