Power Morphicon 4 - PMC4

I was invited to the PMC4 this year, by Tiffany.  I learned that it's every two years that they hold the Power Morphicon in Pasadena, once again I was not too sure how I would have liked it.  Being that I'm new to this activity, I was amazed at the costumes that the fans wore some were home made and many were bought from companies.  What truly amazed me was the fandom it has, there were people there from Australia, Philippines, UK, and I won't be surprise from other parts of the world.  Met up with several from other States from the Facebook groups that I belong to.  But the most amazing part of PMC4 that I noticed, no matter your age, physical condition, etc., everyone was polite, courteous, and having a ball!

Overdue Vacation?

 Long over due vacation...but is it a vacation?  Travelling throughout the desert to our destination...

looking for something to eat on old historic routes...

now if you ever wonder where would be a great place to eat and yet not be part of a major food chain, why not stopped in at a fire department headquarters or ask a police officer; in our case we stopped in at fire department headquarters so some photos of their outside decorations (to be uploaded at a later date), I happen to ask the Chief about places to eat.  Sure enough, he knew of a great place that is owned by a firefighter, so if you're ever in Barstow area check out DiNapoli's Firehouse. I also managed to score another patch for my collection from the Chief...

 

Finally made it the hub where we'll be bouncing from to all of our conferences, even Tiffany has a convention in town and making final preparations....
