KAPOW! London 2011 = Review

On Sunday I went to Kapow! A new Comic-con in London at the Design Centre sponsored by IGN.

I've been to London Comic Festival and other comic/ scifi exhibitions including all three Dr Who exhibitions/ museums in the UK, (GO ME, It is actually my greatest achievement in life so far!) and with a geeky family with major knowledge in all things comic/movie/gaming related I'm no noob!

For start the Design Centre was such a great choice of venue. Although not particularly large, this is the first Kapow! So they obviously wanted to start small and concise, and they definitely did that! If you don't know what the Design Centre is like inside then here it is all set up for this year's Kapow!

This picture is facing the entrance. showing the middle tier with the retailers on, at the end where the IGN ball is floating it drops down to the IGN Arena.

I liked this setup as you could walk round the top tier and see everything and you could easily find your way everywhere even if you weren't using the map in the leaflet, which was a bonus for me as I probably would of ended up in the kitchens or something!
On entrance you got a goody bag of posters, latest movie cards and the general leaflet of the major IGN stalls. Then you walk in to the IGN arena where there were live interviews for the IGN podcasts/competitions happening and areas to test play new games including Portal 2!

I obviously was attracted straight away to the Tardis in the centre...

OOHHH! And it was the 11th Dr's Tardis <3 Should of took my lifesize cut out of Amy Pond  :(

There was high quality of retailers, mainly the comic writers or illustrators themselves who were drawing at the table and you could buy their comics to have them signed there! The IGN arena was good as there was always something happening on the stage, and there was a coffee shop above it so you could chillaz up there and still see and hear what was going down! I stood in the crowd for some of the IGN Podcast, the panel with the cast of Misfits and the Cosplay competition.

(you can tell I was happy, the chipmunk cheeks appeared!)

Another good point was that you could have your hand stamped, leave and come back, yes most places do this but this was in a good location for food retailers and there is a near Nandos,

NO ONE can say no to Nandos!

The only bad point was the Auditorium and Gallery had special shows on at scheduled times and we wanted to queue up for the Secret movie X premiere (which ended up being 'Super') and the guide said you were not allowed to start lining up till 1.30, we go up at 1.20 to see where to line up and get moved on after queuing as we were too far back and it was max 500 people :( Major sadness, people had obviously started queuing up waaaay before!

Other bonus' of day were that I won an IGN tshirt at the IGN stand and I got my Photo taken and interviewed for Bizzare Mag LOL

The BEST part of the whole day for me was all the Cosplayers! The Cosplay competition was amazing and hilarious and I got some photos with a few of them too!

Long time no blog! I have been majorly busy, with just too much work so that I have to decide what will get done and what wont. It's gonna be like this for the next week but  I am going to try to post just as much; I should allow myself one simple pleasure!

HAPPY ST PATRICKS DAY!!
I realised I had NO green clothes, apart from combats which were in the wash so I went to my favourite high street shop....Poundland of course!
I was hoping they would have hold ups like they did for valentines but they didn't so I bought this clover tie, and wore it as a belt! It has clovers all over it and one four leaf clover.....lucky!

I apologise for the shit everything about this photo, but I had literally 1 minute to take it and was in a AHHH I HAVE SO MUCH TO DO mood.

Well I'm looking forward to comic relief night tomorrow, gonna stay in and have an indian to watch it, as there's a DR WHO SPECIAL! woooop!

Already bought my t-shirt, red nose and have been eating the Jimmy Con Carne crisps (which are my new favourite flavour!) everyday since they were out...I'm serious.

Week in 10 #2

This week has been spent...

1. Eating lovely things (by that I mean sweet, unhealthy stuff)- after an empty kitchen finally went shopping to restock, and got all my favourite foodies like chocolate eclairs, Muller yogurts, Shreddies, Galaxy chocolate, Strawberry and chocolate milkshake... yeah there could be a pattern here!

2. looking at my fabric collection- I really want to start some sewing projects as I've got some really cool fabrics including Paddington Bear, which I  can't wait to get started with!

3. Portfolio making- I have an interview for an art course I want to do on Friday, so although I have millions of sketchbooks and life drawings to take, all my other work is huge, unmovable paintings or installations so I bought such a cute little photo album from Paperchase and have been compiling it :)

4. Watching Dr.Who on double bill and looking up the hidden synoptic links in my Dr Who book of facts ...lol Geek.

5. Bargain shopping! Look out for the next post on all my great finds!

6.Nursing my ear :( - even though I haven't had any piercings done for a while now one of my earrings flared up, probs because I'm naughty and wear cheap large earrings then sleep in them so my ear hurts.. but it's all good now, a little bit of care and antibiotic cream and its all hunky dory in the ear dept once again.

7. Drawing the Jaberwocky- For my mother (who works in a school) to put up in her class who are studying the poem... I did it all on A1 in black marker, its fun to just chill and do some kiddy, cartoon sketching some times....especially with MARKERS!

8. Listening to Paloma Faith and my new Radio 1 Live Lounge CD's a bit too loud haha

9. Wearing my bunny slippers and covering up with a snuggie blankie ( one of those ones with arms so I can still work, because it's been so cold with all the rain :(

10. Sorting out the garden- I'm not big on gardening but I'm always out there because of my bunnies so I like it to be kept tidy, and occasionally I have the urge to plant a few seeds....not that they ever like to grow for me very well!

What have you guys been up to this week?

Week in 10 #1

I've decided to start a regular feature of my week in 10, probs because I don't seem to have the time to get everything I feel like sharing down in the week, it's not gonna be extensive just 10 short snipits of thing I've been up to this week, hopefully with some photos (fingers crossed!)

Ok, this week has been spent....

1. Wearing Shoes - really been into shoe-socks combo this week as you can see from here and here

    2. Drinking Hot chocolate mmmmm- especially when drunk out of my new DrWho mug with marshmallows, cream and biscuits homemade by one of my buddies <3



Oh and yes that is my DrWho table top calender in the background



I Had two choc orange ones and they were gorgeous :)

3.  Sitting on my desk embroidering the Pope's face onto plastic sheeting - basically what my art project went into this week..haha but very therapeutic

4. Tweeting- I have twitter!!! just got it yesterday and set up mobile tweeeets so I can post even when I'm out and about, check it out!

5. Sitting at desks- whether mine in my room looking out on my road, or my one at my art studio (which I have mainly been sitting on -see 3) just working and organising and BLOGGING!

6. Listening to my ipod- with the walk in the morning back into my life I have selected my fav playlists, THE WHOLE SWEENY TODD MUSICAL (original cast of course) all that talk of killing and cutting people up into pies really gets me going for the day you know? 

7. Eating chocs- had too many left over for Christmas so of course me and my art dudes were happy to dispose of them ( one box of chocolate eclairs, one box of Thornton's, and maybe all the pink ones from the Roses tin by myself :))

8. Watching my Les Mis 25th Anniversary at the 02 DVD- whilst ironing then with hot choc, SO GOOOD, if you like the musical or book then check it out <3

9. Watching TV- there are finally good things on eg. Primeval season 4 on Saturday night and I've just seen the start to the new series of Larkrise to Candleford which started tonight <3 I love a bit of dinosaurs and period drama...hmmm maybe be should have a period drama with dinos, if you threw DrWho in there and some class songs it would be so immense my brain would implode, and all the imploding energy would grow, create a black hole and suck you into it...so, its up to you.

10. Reading- I finished my book , Scarlett Thomas' My Tragic Universe, very different to what  I usually read but very thought provoking a lovely ending.

I hope next week contains as many nice things!
