Captain’s bLog 212021.1 : America, My Love…

10 years ago, I became an U.S. Citizen. A pivotal point in my life. Time flies by but I remember vividly that day like it was two hours ago. Las Vegas, America, my country by heart now! The softly warm sun was welcoming me to my new country like a dear friend patting my shoulder with a crisp yet energizing breeze. The ceremony was all heart. The judge was exuding his pride of the U.S. Constitution and his message of welcoming new citizens was felt like a blessing. After filling all the paperwork for the US passport, I went outside,...

Captain's bLog 032020.12 : Cosplay & CosFest: How Passions Collide

Channele Luis aka Khiq Cosplay, guest blogger for the fandombar.com Community bLog December 5th, 2015. Leaving the Sports Center where the inaugural Great American Comic Con Las Vegas (GACCLV) was taking place, I approached my car and saw an advertising postcard under my windshield wiper. Black, blue and a round logo with a zeppelin in the middle stating that cosplayers received a discount on drinks. Fast forward to today, just shy of the exact date 5 years ago I walked into Millennium Fandom Bar for the first time. Some of you may know me as Chan, others as Channele, and still others...

Come with us and you will see...This our town of Halloween.”   These famous words mark the start of that now famous anthem that represents all Halloween lovers around the world. No matter how many times I have seen The Nightmare Before Christmas, I still get goosebumps and a surge of excitement. My strange and unusual mind goes a million miles per hour with every word in the song, “This is Halloween.” My thoughts parade in the bliss...

Captain's bLog 132020.09 : The Road to Supernatural...

Andi Robinson, guest blogger for the fandombar.com Community bLog "Saving people, hunting things – the family business." Somewhere on the dark backroads of northern Midwest America, a 1967 black Chevy Impala with an 80’s rock song blasting through the crackling speakers slices through the darkness. With a trunk full of guns, ammo, salt and the seldomly used rocket launcher, a bow-legged driver and lanky long-haired passenger are joined by a curious character in a trenchcoat. This may seem like the start to every horror movie but it’s much more than that; it is the CW's Supernatural, the longest running live-action fantasy...

Captain's bLog 282020.08 : A Prop Maker’s Toolkit

Emily Unglued, guest blogger for the fandombar.com Community bLog From the first moment I walked into the Millennium Fandom Bar (MFB), I have been amazed at the talent and creativity of all the cosplayers there. Through conversations with these awesome people, I have learned many tips, tricks, and techniques. While most cosplayers already have the basics on hand (glue guns, rulers, heat guns, etc.), here are a few helpful tools that were shared with me by other creators. Safety first! A respirator mask with filters, disposable rubber gloves, and protective eyewear should be in every prop maker’s tool kit to avoid injury....
