Thumbnail image for PAX Prime 2011: Day 3

Final day of PAX Prime 2011!! We’d been eating junky food for breakfast during PAX, so we decided to start the last day of our PAX with good hearty breakfast. We wanted to go to the panels early in the morning, so we headed down to Lowell’s at Pike Place Market. I don’t care that people say it’s a tourist pit. They open from 7:00AM [...]

Thumbnail image for PAX Prime 2011: Day 2

PAX Prime 2011: Day 2 I woke up at 7:30, sleepier than the day before. Our first panel was at 10:30, so we decided to go out to get a quick breakfast from the cafe near by. Then I finished sewing stuff I couldn’t finish the night before. After the breakfast, we headed to the main theater for our all time favorite panel at PAX. [...]

I woke up at 7:00 AM, a little sleepy but already super excited. So he could take photos of the plush, Derek made an awesome set-up by the window using only a pillow case, toilet paper and band aids. I’m very proud of him for pulling this off and I loved how the photos came out! Thank you, Derek! We had bought peanut butter and [...]

PAX Prime 2011: Day 0 It’s that time of year again. Well, it was! Derek and I don’t take vacations much because we’re homebodies by nature. But twice a year, we book a catsitter, get plane/bus tickets and reserve a room at a fancy hotel so that we can walk around in a crowded convention center and stand in line for panels or to play [...]

Stuffed stuff: Hot dog Fairy – PAX exclusive Created and stuffed: August 2011 When I made a real life Hot dog Fairy, I was surprised to see reactions from the people who don’t even know anything about Penny Arcade or PAX. I don’t know why but it must be something to do with the combination of a hot dog and a fairy. With PAX Prime [...]

Non-bento #41: Twisp and Catsby cheeseburgers

June 3, 2011 bento
Thumbnail image for Non-bento #41: Twisp and Catsby cheeseburgers

After I made non-bento #40: Twisp and Catsby pizza, I wanted to try more cheese cutting. When is the best time to re-try something you weren’t 100% satisfied with the first time? IMMEDIATELY AFTER THAT. Otherwise I’ll probably forget or lose my momentum. So I decided to continue on celebrating Memorial day weekend with another typical American food, cheeseburgers. With lettuce, tomato, Twisp and Catsby. [...]

Derek and I don’t usually do anything special on Memorial Day weekend, but this year, we thought it’d be fun to make a typical American food with a twist. By “twist” I mean “Twisp and Catsby.” Non-bento #40: Twisp and Catsby Pizza Created and eaten on: 5/26/2011 As you can tell from this post and this post, Derek and I are huge fans of Penny [...]

The weather was definitely nicer on Day 2. We could clearly see the long line forming in front of the BCEC in the morning. Before we headed out, I took a photo of the free shwag from the day before. And here’s a photo with stuff I bought.

Thumbnail image for stuffed stuff: monster from Lookouts

Monday morning the day after we came back from PAX East, I was checking out the Penny Arcade book signing tour schedule, and realized that they were coming to New York City on Tuesday, which was the very next day. A thought “Maybe I can make something to give to them…” crossed my mind. The Penny Arcade robot (whose name I won’t spell out here [...]

Phew! What a weekend! I’m still feeling super energetic from my PAX East high. I wasn’t sure how big & successful PAX East would be, but after attending the first day of PAX East, I can say that PAX East will be bigger and even better next year, and we’ll definitely be there. PAX East is definitely the most organized, content-rich pleasant convention I’ve ever [...]

Boston is also my boyfriend’s hometown. Boston isn’t that far away from New York, so my friends (as seen in my [...]
