This past birthday weekend turned out to be one of the best I've had in years. I'm not even exaggerating when I say it was spectacular, start to finish! I took Wednesdays through Monday off of work to enjoy it, and spend Wednesday cleaning, but Thursday was time for ComicCon. Kristina, Ken, and Jan all met me at my house and we rode down together. After waiting for an hour to get in we rushed off first to the Shadow Cast/Rocky Horror Panel, and after that we waited in line to meet Sean Patrick Flannery-who is SO nice and hilarious.
After meeting him and getting a photo with him we headed back to the South Ballroom to see the Out of the Shadows Theatre Group performance which was a montage of Hedwig and the Angry Inch, Repo! The Genetic Opera, and Rocky Horror Picture Show. Then our friend who was playing Frank-N-Furter met up with us and we sat through the Boondock Saints Reunion panel and the James Marsters Panel before walking around and hanging out for the day.
Friday morning we got up and headed back down to ComicCon. We didn't really do many panels, just kind of hung around and wandered a bit-enjoyed quite a bit of beer-it was my birthday after all! My cute godkids were with their parents for the day so they stopped to wish me a Happy Birthday, Jan brought me a tiara to wear for the day, and it was all around fun.
After ComicCon my friends met me at Stoneground for a birthday dinner, which was fabulous! Great food, great booze, and people I haven't seen in a while! Even my sweet friend Cristina who I haven't seen in years (but who's been my best friend since I was 7 years old) was able to make it!
Saturday morning I woke up and the roommate had snuck out to buy groceries to make me a birthday breakfast. He put together an English Fry-Up and even bought stuff to make a latte-I have an espresso machine, it just never gets used! We took our time heading to ComicCon and managed to make it into the Patrick Stewart Panel and later that evening the Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog Sing Along, which was amazing!
Sunday was a family day. I finished up some homework (I'm so freaking behind in school right now...) and then headed over to my grandmother's for a birthday/Easter BBQ. It was such a great weekend, and my heart is so full of love for everyone involved!
