BLIZZCON!!!
Who’s ready for BlizzCon?! I know I’m pushing the final packing phase and double checking that I have everything necessary packed, and here’s hoping to run into a few of my twitter friends on twitter. Regardless that I do not play on the same realm with them in WoW or even play the same side Blizzcon is what brings us fans of Blizzards game together. In one sweaty group. Of course I will be attending with my husband, and we’re driving all the way from the Panhandle of Florida all the way to Southern California, so I will probably end up posting short blog entries of sights’ we saw and if we’ve come across another BlizzCon road-tripper. The plan is to drive from 8am Central to 10pm, rest at a hotel hoping to be a good ways across the country. Then I guess off on the road again around 8 or 10 am the next day, and then probably another hotel rest before Thursday and then get to our hotel reservation.
We’ll be staying at the Courtyard Anaheim which is on the corner of Convention Way on the same block of the Convention Center so it’s be a quick short walk to and from the hotel to the event whenever we need a break. 2009, we stayed at the Anaheim Marriott which was about 10 mins walk away, and loved the hotel and was hoping to get a reservation at that hotel again, but couldn’t reserve the type of room we wanted. So this year we were lucky to get reservation for the Courtyard which is positively better location-wise. In 2008 we went which was our first BlizzCon we’ve been to, and our hotel stay was at the Hilton Embassy. Which was quite a drive though the environment of the hotel was so serene and I absolutely loved the Koi fish pond they had in their indoor courtyard. We didn’t get to make it to last year’s BlizzCon due to funding circumstances and we ended up being at the tail end of the ticket sales. It was disheartening to be like number 10 in queue with 25% of the stock left to find out when it’s your turn in line the stock was all sold out. Sad but that’s the way the universe works I suppose.
So I do plan on trying to make to all the get together that would interest me and my husband, so hopefully we’ll make some great new friends, meet some old ones, actually meet long time friends that we’ve been talking to and just enjoy the Convention. Regardless of being Horde or Alliance, Zerge, or Terran, we’re here to have and awesome time.
BeautyLish BEAUTY SOCIAL
Honestly I found out about this event just a couple of weeks ago and few weeks ago I finally decided to join BeautyLish.com after lurking through their site very many times. So after many questions and discussions with a BeautyLish mod I decided I wanted to really go, considering that I have started in on this beauty trend. I have no idea why I got fascinated in the beauty community but I guess cause I’ve been watching a lot of YouTube video tutorials on how to do makeup and such that I just now can’t stand going out on certain days without spending an hour putting my face on.
When I found out about this event I was like “OMG it’s the same week as BlizzCon. What a co-winky-dink.” Then was bummed out about it a little because we had planned for BlizzCon first. So then found out they sold individual tickets and was like “OOOOH I can go SUNDAY!” Then negotiated with the hubby about the BeautySocial, and the next day he purchased me the ticket. Although it was a Saturday ticket and I had to go through a whole day contacting BeautLish with as many ways to contact them as possible, because I am such an impatient person when it comes to things like ticket events. I’m sure I bugged the heck out of them, but when I got an answer back I just waited until another response was made about it. The customer service for my ticket purchase was great, and they did change it in their database for me to attend Sunday so I don’t have to worry so much about it anymore. <3
Surely I am happy to be attending this event, even if it’s for one day, but I am hoping like at BlizzCon to make new friends, and possibly learn a thing or two from other beauty enthusiast.
I’m hoping to see most of you at the Convention and Event! Let’s have fun and enjoy ourselves!
More posts to come in the following week! <3
