I have fond memories of family trips to LA for spend a weekend at Universal Studios and Disneyland. Now you don’t have to go to Florida to check out The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. This past week, special lucky visitors of Universal Studios Hollywood got see World and rides in the Harry Potter-themed area.
Hey Retrenders fans! If you missed Wizard World 2015 from San Jose a few weeks back and want to see all of our Ramen and a Half video coverage of the 3-day con, well, hit up our Wizard World SJ playlist on YouTube!
Farewell Wizard World – until next year! On behalf of the “Ramen and a Half”crew and RETRENDERS, we’d love to thank Abby Ferguson for making everything so convenient for us at Wizard World 2015 at the San Jose Convention Center!
Everyone has an opinion about certain Comic Conventions. Now, “Was Wizard World great or not great?” So we had to ask a couple of our local Comic Convention goers in the Bay Area, Diana and Alejandro. Though they mentioned nothing spectacular on a scale of one through ten, I would have to say they sounded pretty happy to be there, and they reinforced what comic conventions are all about: Attending a panel and learning interesting factors about writing comics from Michael Golden, Meeting friends, and best of all – Cosplaying! The video speaks for itself.
The only mishap at Wizard World was loosing a pair of Sunglasses while wrapping up the show – “No thanks to Ramon!”
At Wizard World, The Eddie has a brief interview with The Walking Dead‘s , Scott Wilson, who plays Hershel Greene, the much grounded and upholding character of humanity in an overwhelming time of dead chaos. He will also be starring in the upcoming television series DAMIEN, on A&E, a spin off from The OMEN.
Ramon is a big on collecting action figures, so when he stumbled upon these welded and bronzed metal sculptures by Metal Souls , he couldn’t just pass through with out mentioning how amazingly cool they were!
Wizard World was full of surprises – just like how “The Eddie” was able to meet actor, Michael Rooker. Those of you that don’t know him as Yondu of Guardians of the Galaxy, will definitely remember as Merle Dixon from the Walking Dead series. He is well recognized as playing the bad guy that you hate and then love, as you can see in his character metamorphosis through the episodes in Walking Dead. And I’m pretty positive that he had fun playing Yondu, which I would have to say, “he has added so much character to the biggest scavenger-pirate of the galaxy!”
Our very own Harlequin, Sayori Chu, interviews Wind of the Stars cosplay, Mel Hoppe, at Wizard World Comic Convention on making costumes and making friends. Here we find out the topic on why do people cosplay is more than meets “living out a fantasy character”, because its also about clicking and bonding with others that love the same thing.
The Ramen and Half crew crashes Wizard World as their extended adventure to meet their pop culture icon celebrities and finding that must have comic and figure for their personal collections. Find out what they have to say before they hit the convention floor. This promo is also a sneak peak at what to expect in their upcoming Wizard World videos.
