This is Entry 185: Cookies!

Late last year DC Comics released a comic book: The Larfleeze Christmas Special. I personally have a soft sport of Holiday comics & was looking forward to reading this one. The story is pretty good & you also get a few activities, too!

One of the activities that intrigued me was that there was recipe for Orange Lantern Cookies. So, with the help of my Mom I made them!

I posed a cookie on a small plate atop of the comic book & got out my Orange Lantern ring to finish off the scene. You can see my attempt at making the Orange Lantern logo on a cookie. It didn't go so well. So for the rest of the cookies they didn't get the logo. But they did get sprinkles!

How did the cookies taste? Pretty good & rather tasty. I liked them & so did my Mom! She said we should keep the recipe (which I would have anyway since the recipe was in a comic book). I had thought about how would you make other lantern cookies? I had also thought about trying to find other Comic Books related recipes. I think that like the 1970's that a few comic book cook books were made. I'd have to search that out more.

So, until next time I bid thy a Stay Jazzy!

This is Entry 184: Emerald City 2011 Prologue part 2

So... in a few weeks is this year's Emerald City ComiCon! Put if you read my last entry you'd already know that. :)

Something cool the Con did this year is they put their program guide up on their website so attendees (like myself) can better plan out where they want to go at said Con. Included in the guide is a floor map of everything at the Con. I'm going to try & post a version of the map highlighted with things I want to go to & people I want to see. So people could stalk me if they wanted. :)

Also, over the next 2 weeks I'm going to try & get some stuff up on this here Blog that I've been putting off. Note the word "Try". :)

Until time Stay Jazzy!

This is Entry 183: Emerald City 2011 Prologue

I really need to get back to into updating this thing...

But I have something to talk about! Something Awesome!

In less in then month one's time of the best weekends of the year is happening: It's the 2011 Emerald City ComiCon! It at the same place it was last year but this year it's 3 days! Well... 2 & Half. The 1st Day (Friday, March 4th) it runs from 2 to 8 pm. Day #2 (Saturday, March 5th) runs from 10 am to 7 pm. Day #3 (Sunday March 6th) runs from 10 am to 5pm. In years past I've only going to 1 day (Saturday) which is always awesome but this year I'm going 2 days (Friday & Saturday)! Can I handle a double dose of ComiCon awesomeness? We'll just have to wait & see!

In looking at the website there are lot of super cool & awesome stuff happening! Panels galore, 2 Concerts, a Buffy Sing Along, a Masquerade, Movie Presentations, Improv, a Game Show, a chance to meet famous people & of course my main reason to go: Comic Books! Comic Books at cheap prices! Oh & Free Stuff! Can't forget about the free stuff!

Like last year I'll have both of my cameras (still photography & video). This year I hope to actually use them. I tend to get blindsided all the awesomeness around me that I forget to document it. :)

Emerald City ComiCon 2011:
There will be awesomeness!
I'll be there, will you?


Through the rest of this month I'll most likely make a post or two more about the Con. I also got a few other things I need to get out before the Con also. Look for those things soon!

Until next time: Stay Jazzy!
