The victims and families of the mass shooting in Orlando last night don’t want your prayers or your thoughts.

Megacon Orlando 2016
I went to Megacon for the first time this weekend. Previously, I made my Comic Con debut last year, in my first-ever cosplay as a girl Marty McFly to meet Lea Thompson at Tampa Bay Comic Con. This year, we had even higher stakes as none other than Doc Brown himself, Christopher Lloyd was going…

OMG SHUT UP SMALL CHILD!
I know I should probably find it “cute” or something, but I just can’t. Every single day, I am “treated” to the…let’s be generous and call it “singing” of the small child in the apartment below me. He (?) sings as loud as he can, shrill and screechy and ungodly out of tune over and…
The Future
Marty: All right, Doc, what’s goin’ on, huh? Where are we? “When” are we? Doc Brown: We’re descending towards Hill Valley, California at 4:29 PM on Wednesday, October 21st, twenty-fifteen. Marty: Two thousand fifteen?! You mean we’re in the future! Welcome to the future!
Blast From the Past – Starlog Magazine January 1990
I recently found a copy of Starlog Magazine from January 1990 while cleaning. The cover story? An interview with Robert Zemeckis on the filming of Back to the Future: Part II! This is a timely find given that we are nearly at the future – October 21, 2015. From McFly It features some great production…

It’s an unofficial event that takes place twice a year at Disneyland, Walt Disney World and Disneyland Paris. It…

Creating My Female Marty McFly Cosplay (Part 1)
A few months ago I decided I wanted to attend my first ever con: Tampa Bay Comic Con 2015. And if I was going to go, I was going to cosplay. Back to the Future is my all-time favorite movie (and movie trilogy) and 2015 is not only the 30th anniversary of it’s theatrical release…
