Wizard Of Oz Convention Comes To San Diego - Coronado Eagle & Journal | Coronado News | Coronado Island News: Oz Con International | Coronado Oz Con | Winkie Con

http://www.ozconinternational.com/
Well who knew? There's a Winkie Con - A convention for the Wizard of Oz. This year the 50th anniversary convention will be held at the Town and Country Hotel in Mission Valley, San Diego, CA. I heard about the event quite by accident, on the radio this morning. I will be there, promoting my book Dorothy Jones, A Jazz Age Trip Through Oz, available on http://amazon.com/author/claudiaross.

Comic Con 2014 July 26

I had a blast at Comic Con this year. I met so many cool people. The costumes were great.

For once, I decided to plan ahead for next year and book my hotel now. ALL OF THE DOWNTOWN HOTELS ARE SOLD OUT FOR COMIC CON 2015. I think the Grand Hyatt Manchester had rooms for $700+++ per night. I guess next year I'll be on the bus and trolley again. But hey, it's a year away. Anything and everything can change in a year.

Here are some highlights:

Samurai of the Rose... 

Scarecrow passing through

La Rose hanging with Young Luke Skywalker, Chewbacca, and Princess Leia


Take no prisoners!



Doctor Octopus

To be Silver and Surfin. Oooo Wee!

Maleficent

Joker's security holding things down

Kill em Sheriff

La Rose & Super Fro

Comic Con 2014 July 26th

Another exciting day where our innermost dreams and fantasies are realized! I had a ton of fun, meeting other interesting artists, dreamers, and those who appreciated us. So many photographers! I think I could do the Red Carpet.

I enjoyed one celebrity sighting, at least one of the folks around me told me he was a celeb, an actor from XMen, but I don't know who. In any case, he wasn't very interested in being photographed; he allowed a few and then announced he was with his wife and had to go. Focused on being with family and attending an event at the Hardrock; his dismissal of the fans was a little disappointing, but understandable.

Here are some of the highlights of my day. If you want to see the full album, please visit my page on Picasa.

I hoped to see one my pals from Oz. The Rose and her Scarecrow. Or Dorothy. Dorothy Jones a Jazz Age Trip Through Oz.

The Rose and Jules of Pulp Fiction.


I think he has everything under control

Hanging with the Joker and his Jester

No Mssrs Storm Troopers, I haven't been dropping petals

Dangit! Pulled over again.

Ariel and La Rose at Dick's Last Resort in the Gas Lamp. I had a great time there. The Catfish is excellent, although they only gave three pieces. But good Stella on tap. I'm going back!

La Rose and Storm. She was fabulous!!!

Captain America, reflecting upon what must be done for the Nation.

I loved her costume!

La Rose and the Tin Buccaneers!


Superman showing Wonder Woman what's up. :-)
Today is my last hurrah at Comic Con until 2015. I need tips on how to winter my roses over the barren unfabulous days until next July. Back to Kansas, the land of ornery spreadsheets and calendars.
