First off, while I like my outfit I hate the way black jeans get so linty. I went so far to pack a lint remove brush in my purse. When the 30 for 30 is over, I need to find some lint repellant pants.

Yesterday was an extremely fun but extremely tiring. After work I made my way up to Los Angeles with my brother and his friend for the midnight Scott Pilgrim Screening over at the New Beverly Cinema. First off we had dinner via the famous Kogi Truck over in Eagle Rock. I've heard about how yummy their food is and after finally trying it, I agree. I had the short rib, spicy pork and chef's special calamari tacos. The short rib had a nice tang to it while the pork was not as spicy as I thought it would be. However the calamari taco was super spicy. In fact, it cleared up my sinuses. On my list of the best tacos I have ever eaten.

For dessert, I bought a moon pie and a red velvet cupcake from Milk which was a block away from the New Beverly. I never had a fresh moon pie before and if was filled with chocolate and marshmallow goodness. The cupcake I saved until today and it was still moist and yummy. I would go to Los Angeles more often just for the food.

Sign we saw as we were walking to the Kogi Truck. I do hope they find their dog, but an actual picture might have been better.

The screening was fun although it didn't start until 12:30am. There's only one screening room and the previous screening/ Q&A session ran longer than expected. The screening was moderated by comedian Doug Benson and before the movie, director/writer Edgar Wright and some of the cast member came out to introduce it. Afterwards, there was a Q&A session which was more like 7 questions that the cast answered and a little trivia game for the cast where they could win Scott Pilgrim prizes to an audience member of their choosing.

By the time the screening and everything was finished, it was 4am. When my brother and I got home, the sun was getting ready to come out. I got home and passed out and didn't wake up until noon. So while it was fun, I don't think I'll be doing something like that for a while.

Halloween Town

Jacket: Gap

Shirt, sweatshirt, shorts and tights: Old Navy

Belts: Target and Walmart

Bag: self-made

Goggles: Bought at Comic-con

Boots: Reflections

 So here it is, my Ramona Flowers costume. It was also probably one of the easiest costumes to source, since a majority of the items came from my closet. The only things I bought where the purple tights, the blue wig and star purse which is actually one of those round cardboard boxes that I painted.
I had one person recognize who I was on Friday. He did ask me where was my sledge hammer, which unfortunately didn't have enough time to make. With a few tweaks, such as changing the jacket and shorts, I would this to Comic-Con next year.   

 Speaking of Comic-Con, tickets go on sale tomorrow at 9am PST. Unfortunately I have to work in the morning, so I'm having my brother get the tickets for me. I think I'm going to get the 4-day pass and this time around get my room accommodations squared away much sooner than I did for the last Comic-Con.

What did you dress up as for Halloween?

A Girl Whose Hair Looks Like This

I don't really have any Halloween plans, but this week I'm volunteering at a Halloween Carnival for the YMCA. So it gives me the perfect excuse to go in costume as...

Ramona Flowers

It'll be a 180 from my Holly Golightly costume from last year. The only thing is I still don't my costume all there yet. So I'm spending the next few days getting it all prepared. I'm ever the procrastinator. But if I get my stuff together, this costume will be awesome.
