I'm not much of a person for midnight releases... of anything; movies, black Friday stuff, etc. But when I heard that every Toys "R" Us was going to be doing a midnight release event for the new Star Wars Force Awakens toys, I was intrigued.

To this day, my favorite, and arguably the best, comic book / cartoon / movie / toy lines is the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I still have vivid memories of being a young kid in the toy aisle of this store called Roses, seeing those first toys on the pegs.
The wife was away this weekend to a fitness blogging conference in Portland, OR, so I had myself a fun little weekend. I saw a couple movies, did a bit of shopping, and played some nerdy games with friends. I missed Dani, but it was nice to have some play time. I picked up an early birthday present for myself - Lego R2D2.
I came home from our weekend away in Syracuse to find the June 2013 Loot Crate waiting at my door. Score! The topic this month was MASHUP and we have seen some pretty rad mashup posts from the Loot Crate crew on their Facebook page leading up to this months delivery.
A bit different look for the crate this month. There wasn't really any high-end item like the previous couple months with the Funko and Kid-Robot toys. Still, it was a pretty nice box, and I finally got my loot crate ID card!
This post is quite a bit late in coming, but I wanted to revisit my awesome weekend in Chicago. I had originally planned on going to this show's sister show, the New York Comic Con this past October. But due to having my place to stay fall through and it being absurdly expensive to get a motel room in Manhattan, I had to call it off.
Today I received my first ever Loot Crate. If you don't know what that is, it's ok. You soon will. Loot Crate is a monthly subscription box service where they ship you a box of cool geek / gamer culture related items.
Over the past few weeks, on the side I've been working on a couple of new pet projects. They aren't 100% done yet, but they are close enough to start showing off! Several months ago a few friends and I connected on a deeper level over pretty much the tastiest sandwich ever - The Burger.
