We
had a great time in Metropolis, Illinois, the official
home of Superman. Metropolis is one of the
greatest places to visit if you're a comic book fan
because they have the Superman Museum as well as the
Superman Store. They have the largest collection
of Superman products on the planet. We got to take
a tour of the store and of the museum and we were
thoroughly impressed with all of the memorabilia.
We
really came into town for the Superman Celebration.
One of the coolest things that happened was the costume
contest, with a $1,000 prize. The result? A
lot of really impressive costumes. There was a
kid's costume contest on Saturday and then the big
costume contest was on Saturday. We had our
favorite. If you watch Smallville, you
probably recognize this costume as Lois's cosplay outfit
in "Warrior". But the winners were also quite
impressive, working on their wings for six months!
There
were also some pretty awesome activities going on at the
event. There were art contests, which our little
sister won first place in her age group with her
impressive Brandon Routh as Superman artwork.
Of course one of the coolest things that happened was we
got to meet Sam Huntington, one of the current stars
from Syfy's Being Human. He's just as
funny and sweet in person as he is on TV. Brandon
Routh and Alaina Huffman also came to the event and our
little sister Tina even got to give her artwork to
Brandon Routh and she was quite giddy about it.
Probably
the best thing about the even were the kind people we
got to meet. We got to meet Captain Logan in
person, some our of fans, and our vender neighbors were
so nice! We wouldn't have made it through the
weekend without them.
There were also some parties, concerts, fan film
festivals, and other contests as well. The entire
weekend was packed with events.
We had a great time. The only thing that got us
was that heat! Whew! We were dying in our
little tent! If you stopped by our tent and didn't
have the money at the time to buy any of our products,
please feel free to visit our store and we'll hook you
up with some geeky swag!
