Saturday afternoon I attended my first comic book convention at the Hawaii Convention Center. I volunteered with the Friends of the Library (FLH) which allowed me admission, $40 for Saturday only, into the event. I promoted the library system's upcoming Summer Reading program and library card app while the FLH volunteer was handing out flyers for their upcoming book sale which benefits the library system. There were lots of cosplayers and I tried to get those with the best outfits to pose in front of my booth with a library card. I was also able to geek out a little and get some comics signed by Chris Claremont and Rick Hoberg and buy several trade paperbacks. It was a fun experience and I definitely want to attend another convention, I'm also sure I'll be volunteering at this summer's FLH booksale.
Sunday I went to Kamehameha Canoe Club's final potluck of the preseason. The club will start their regatta season next weekend and I'm thinking the potlucks on Sundays will slowly fade away because their regatta race days, Saturdays, are very tiring. I would have liked to stay with Kamehameha but the Saturday race schedule conflicts with my work. Anuenue's regatta season starts Sunday June 7th and while I'm looking forward to racing in the club's koa canoe I will miss the paddlers at Kamehameha.
Lots of photos from this weekend especially the convention.
