THE NITTY GRITTY
HELLO

Hi. I'm Amanda...a happy wife and mom to three awesome guys. We've lived here in Fort Collins for more than 20 years and are proud to call it home. Before moving to CO, I worked at a city attorney's office, making use of my law and Master's degrees from Duke. After settling in Fort Collins, I homeschooled my three (now teenage and older) sons and was delighted to experience music classes, soccer, karate, swim team, archery, Science Olympiad, First Lego League, parkour, and climbing (not all at the same time!). From 2005-10, I was also a contributing editor for a national scrapbooking magazine, authoring a book and a couple of monthly columns. From 2009-10, I founded and ran the Good Grief Blog. I enjoy learning new things, spending time with my family, volunteering with The Matthews House, traveling and indoor rock climbing.

Comic Con Pictures: Things We Saw (Part 2)

DateThursday, June 19, 2014 at 11:58AM

...and then there was the Batmobile...

...and Star Wars droids...

...And a surprising number of Deadpools and Wolverines (these two were actually together, though)...

And we went to a panel on cartoon character voices. It was quite impressive with

  • Jim Cummings (voice of Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, the Tazmanian Devil, Darkwing Duck and many more...hilarious guy!), 
  • Kevin Conroy (voice of Batman and full of fun stories), 
  • Veronica Taylor (voice of Ash from Pokemon...a character the boys were actually quite familiar with), 
  • Jennifer Hale (voice of Aayla Secura from Star Wars Clone Wars among many others...another voice the boys knew), and 
  • Michael Dorn (Lt. Worf on Star Trek and a voice in several Star Trek video games and others...the boys were most impressed by him, obviously, lol)

Back upstairs, we found a droideka from Star Wars...

...and a vintage Batmobile where you could sit in it for a photo for a mere $20...

And that was a taste of things we saw at Comic Con. ;) Stay tuned for more photos of people we posed with and things we learned...
