I slept better last night, that doesn’t mean those people sharing the joy, driving their cars stopped, there were at least less of them that woke me up.
I decided not to go to the Con early this morning because I can’t resist the merchandise and I’ve spent too much on things. I will be making one final walk around before leaving today… I need more of these.
Thinking about those snacks has me wondering what to do for breakfast this morning.
Checking the weather there is a good chance of rain later this morning and these clouds are similar to the ones on Friday morning when it went from sunny to rainy in 30 minutes.
Wow, this was a busy weekend for outdoor events. Friday was the Art Festival and a 5k night run, Saturday morning was another running event and this morning there is a bicycle race.
I think I need to venture out for breakfast…
Today, we will be trying a Pfannkuchen, at Artisan Haus Bakery & Bistro. What is a Pfannkuchen? Well it is a German thin pancake very similar to a crepe. I’m here at 8 AM and the place looks closed, but checking the Google timeline thingy I’m here before the crowd, so as I’m leaving this place should be hopping.
Time to hear a drum line.
Corpus Christi Taiko Club
This club is a volunteer club that is about 3 years old. Corpus Christi Onami Taiko Club more information about them can be found here on their Facebook Page.
The next session I visited was presented by @fatecosplay where he introduce to DnD. It was a very well organized presentation with information on where and how to find fellow players. Online tools you can use to help you track your character and manage a game if you are a DM. I did have to leave early because of the unlimited access to Pecos Pete’s Sodas. You buy the mug once and pay $7.00 a day where every Pecos Pete has setup their cart. The diet root beer is top quality. So I think you can figure out why I had to leave.
Puzzle update Day 3
I worked on the puzzle this morning for about 15 minutes and I just came back at 1:30 PM and there is a couple working on it as I type. So I’ll post a picture later.
I went back to the food vendor area to buy another round of macarons but sadly they sold out.. Next year it is.
To tell the truth I’m tired and thinking of leaving early. With my VIP ticket I have discounts to the Art Museum, the Aquarium, the USS Lexington, and the Botanical gardens. I’m leaning towards the Botanical gardens, they close at 6 PM so there is still plenty of time.
I couldn’t leave without finishing the puzzle so I started working on it and a kid asked if he could join. He completed the Eevee in the middle and the upper right corner before he had to leave.
If anyone that helped complete the puzzle sees this blog, thanks and great teamwork. Next year if I return, I should bring a notepad and ask people to sign the notebook and post pictures to a public site. Let’s see if I remember…
As I left C4 for the last time this year I smelled pizza. I was reminded of a pizza place recommended by a few people so I think I will get pizza and assess if I want to do any more walking. Besides I need to do some minor editing on the video from the drum line. You should have already watched it, but at the time of my typing it is just raw footage. Non linear time lines are fun.
Well, scrap pizza, Marty McPie is closed on Sunday. There are a few others that serve pizza but now I just want to go back to my room.
Just to close out this blog and answer all question, I ended up ordering the flat bread pizza appetizer from the hotel restaurant. That’s dinner sorted. And now that I’ve edited the drumline video, uploaded and linked it; its time to close out this 3 day blog.
I should be back next year. I like this Con because it isn’t too big, yes, the “stars” are not the top tier actors, but I’ve been to the Con in McAllen with “bigger named stars” and that one is just too crowded and VIP ticket holders get less for their money, or maybe C4 just gives us more. I’ve never been to another Con so maybe the McAllen one is typical and C4 is special. I guess I need to venture out to a different one sometime soon to compare.
I hope you enjoyed the pictures and the prose. I’ve tried to provide links so if you visit Corpus Christi you will have a starting point of a few things to do. Maybe you will even want to attend C4 next year. I’m signing off for now. Next adventure is in a few weeks and I will be going somewhere on the east coast. Subscribe if you want to read about that adventure. Be blessed.
