It’s Almost Here!
In my last post, I mentioned that I was going to apply for a press pass for CyPhaCon in Lake Charles, LA. I did so on that very same day and I am happy to say that I was approved!
If you are attending CyPhaCon, let me know in the comments! I want to meet as many of my loyal readers as possible and hang out with you for a bit. Heck, you might even get the opportunity to have your lovely face plastered on my blog! My main mission at CyPhaCon will be to meet Gigi Edgley and thank her for her work on Farscape and Star Trek Continues. I also want to see the Suzaku 7 perform again.
Tunes
I’ve been listening to the Justice League soundtrack and the Black Panther score a lot lately. I keep them on a steady rotation in my vehicle. Also in that rotation are some classic KISS tunes and the wonderful sounds of The Amorettes.
Speaking of The Amorettes, they have a new album coming out in the very near future. I’ve already pre-ordered my signed copy of the album. Visit their Facebook page to find a link to order your own copy or visit their webpage for other music, merchandise, photos, and more! I don’t get any type of profit for mentioning these young ladies and their band. I just really love their music. I first listened to their Game On album and then pledged allegiance to them for their White Hot Heat album. I got a signed copy and a sweet t-shirt for my loyalty. I see these ladies on the rise, and hopefully they will make it stateside so that I can see them live and (hopefully) meet them. If they (or any of their acquaintances) happen to be reading this post, drop me a comment or message me. It would be really cool to interview the band!
Jaegers and Kaiju and Finn, Oh My!!!
In other news, I’m pretty hyped about the theatrical release of Pacific Rim Uprising. I plan on seeing it on Sunday and plan to have a review posted within the very near future. I’ve enjoyed John Boyega in the Star Wars films and absolutely loved the first Pacific Rim film. I’m a bit disappointed that Guillermo del Toro isn’t heading up this film, but the Jaegers and Kaiju are back and that’s reason enough for me to see this film.
The Final Frontier
I’m also very excited about going on a field trip to Johnson Space Center with my son and his classmates. I’ve been to JSC before, but it was many years ago. I’m sure that things have advanced quite a bit since I last visited, so it should be a fun journey. It will also be cool to see NASA through the eyes of my young son and his friends.
Last But Not Least
It’s still a few months away, but it’s never too early to start planning for the Texas Renaissance Festival. I missed last year’s festival due to some personal things, but this year I plan on making up for it. Although my one of my favorite Rennie bands, Circa Paleo, seems to be on an extended hiatus (and an understandable one due to the loss of a member), my hopes are high that my other favorite Rennie band, Wine And Alchemy, will perform at the festival this year.
In Closing
As always, I want to thank each and every one of you for taking time out of your day to read my thoughts and ramblings. If you are attending CyPhaCon or the Texas Renaissance Festival later this year, let me know and maybe we can hang out. If you see Pacific Rim Uprising this weekend, be sure to watch for my review and let me know what you think about the film! Oh, and I really do suggest that you all check out The Amorettes if you love hard rock. They deserve any and all recognition that they get now and in the future.
So long for now, people. I hope to see many of you very soon!
Ken's Alternate Universe!
