Haven't done an update...

....So here's one.

Tomorrow is a day I've been looking forward to since Fan Expo last year, yep, tomorrow is Comic-Con Toronto, and me and daddy are going.

Now, Daddy had an interesting chat (over FB messenger) a couple of days ago, this lady was seeking advice on how to deal with a service animal issue she was having with a hotel. Normally it wouldn't be an issue, but she is in our realm of expertise, namely non-traditional service animals, in this case, she has a rat. Now, me and daddy have known about this duo for a little over a year, and have replied to posts made to FB. If you've read Sunki's blog you'll know that daddy used to have pet rats, there're one of daddies favorite pets, right up there with bunnies, of course. The trouble with having a rat as a service animal is their short lifespans, only three years (us bunnies live for  10+ years).
Anyway, this lady is going to be in Toronto this weekend attending a con, we hoped it was going to be Comic-Con, but no, she'll be at a differn't con called the Furnal Equinox (sort of like Comic-Con, but everyone dresses up as anthropomorphic animal characters (they are known in the cosplay world as Furries). We've got fingers, toes, paws, and ears crossed that we'll meet up tomorrow for lunch, the hotel where she is staying (and that con) are not too far away from where we'll be, and daddy DOESN'T want to repeat what happened to him at Fan Expo last year when he ate a sketchy hotdog (anything that isn't nanner is sketchy to me anyway), so we are going to eat elsewhere.

Oh, and daddy has fixed up my TIE fighter shell so it's easier to get on and off of my stroller. Before it was held on using zipties (6 of them), daddy figured out how to attach it using bungee cords, now we don't waste a bunch of money (and time) rigging everything up, but you'll just have to wait until Sunday when I post a blog about Comic-Con.

So Excited

In just 2 days the BIGGEST bunny social event of the year will be taking place, yep, it's time for Rabbit Rescues Bunfest, which is on Sunday. Tomorrow though, me and daddy are going to Fort York to see a World War 1 event.

On November 11th this year will mark 100 years since the end of the great war (otherwise known as The first world war, the war to end all wars, world war 1 etc).  I won't bore you with a history lesson, at least not in this post.

For Bunfest we still don't know who is going to be going with me and daddy, we need an attendant with us after the last few years. So far it's a toss up between my uncles Andrew or Tim and my granty Flo, it might not be until later tomorrow that we find out for sure (which will cause daddy an extreme amount of stress worrying about if we'll even be able to go).

Oh, and one more even that is still a few weeks away, one last con to go to, this one is called KimiKon. It's being held in a building at the Exhibition grounds, this is a brand new one for us, so I'm not sure what to expect, and looking at their website doesn't give much in the way of hints either.

You guys know that when daddy gets really tired he becomes extra silly, well, yesterday was one of those times. Daddy was thinking about Star Wars, and how a person (or alien) could make lots of money legally. Well, daddy figured it out, going into the prosthetic bodypart buisness. In all the Star Wars movies, someone is always having a limb cut off (one even had his prosthetic arm cut off, and then had the prosthetic hand, on the same arm, cut off). Someone could get very rich just catering to a certain family alone (the Skywalkers), that family seems to be constantly getting into fights and then losing a body part or two, and some of those fights are between family members.
It's that part at the end of that theory that gets a groan, daddy figured out what to charge each person.........

Ready?

He's going to charge them...... an arm and a leg.... he'd be making money.... hand over fist.
You may commence groaning.

Fan Expo 2018

Things sort of started to go very wrong long before Fan Expo even started, like weeks before. Now, daddy doesn't usually go in for the photo ops or autographs, mostly because they're to expensive, and really the only ones he'd want were the extremely rare ones anyway (like if their Star Wars royalty, Mark Hamill, for example). Well, when they started to announce guests, there were two right up at the top of that list. Billy Dee Willams (the original Lando) and Peter Mayhew (the original Chewbacca), just over a month before Billy Dee cancelled, but he had a good reason, he's going to be reprising his role as Lando in Episode 9, so we can give him a pass for that. Peter Mayhew cancelled a week before, but he too had a good reason. About a month before he'd had back surgery (he had to use a cane to get around, and it was becoming more and more difficult for him) so, again he gets a pass. The replacement they found was a good one, Ray Park (Darth Maul), and daddy actually paid $88 dollars (with taxes) for a photo op with him, not two minutes after receiving the confirmation email, we get a message that Ray Park cancelled. That meant we spent $88 (which got refunded earlier this week).

Okay, enough with the bad stuff, on to the fun stuff. It was so much fun, for me. Daddy, not so much. He had a kinda sketchy hotdog and sauerkraut, that combined with the loud noises (what is supposed to be "music"), my thumping is more musical than that noise was.
Me and daddy are all ready to go, our friend and the Wheel-trans bus were late.
 This was the first time we ever had a companion ride with us on a Wheel-Trans bus, but all things considered, it went better than we could have hoped. Once we got there it was a little walk to get to the accessible gate, but once we were inside it was much cooler than outside, so daddy put the rest of his costume on.
Daddy saw this picture on a bunny Facebook group, the only thing daddy could see was the shape on its head.
Now, about the above picture, can you see the shape, it's the Batman symbol, daddy even showed it to the real Batman and he confirmed it was his symbol.

Later in the day daddy was feeling a little better, I think the medications he took and the earplugs he wore helped. And knowing that we were going to have a photo with a professional cosplay model, her name is LeeAnna Vamp. If you watched a show called Cosplay Melee, then you would have seen her, she was a judge on that show.
She was quite taken with me.
She even signed our picture for free.
What every Emperor needs if he wants to stay in power, a planet-destroying superweapon

Daddy came up with a name for this team.
 The two bounty hunters you see in that picture are called The Brotherhood of Kad (daddy was going to call the team The Brothers of Destruction, but that was already taken by Undertaker and Kane of the WWE).
Kad is Kad Ha'rangir, one of three deities that the ancient Mandalorians worshipped (similar to the Norse Gods of Thor, Loki and Odin). Kad was the destroyer God, he brought change and growth to the universe.
Hod Ha'ran was the trickster God, similar to Loki.
Arasuum was known as the Sloth-god, he was the God of stagnation, he was opposed by Kad.
Daddy "borrowing" an Imperial speederbike

I figure if homicidal teddy bears (Ewoks) can drive these things, so can I.

I only have one question, which of these buttons opens up the treat box.

My new bodyguards, they're much better than the idiot Stormtroopers.

On the way home me and our friend had a nap on the Wheel-Trans bus.
An upcoming event that we are really looking forward to is just 7 days, 11 hours and 25 minutes away. Yep, Bunfest is coming up next weekend, I can't wait.
And two things happen on the same day, on the 25th of September the Solo: A Star Wars movie is being released on Blu-Ray, the other thing is a birthday, but you'll just have to wait until the 25th to find out whose.
Oh, and coming up in 4 days is International Talk like a Pirate day.

Cosplay beach party

Yesterday me and daddy went to a cosplay beach party, daddy didn't go in costume (he learned his lesson from previous years where he'd ended up in the hospital) I did go in costume and had tonnes of fun, I even got to use my beach towel I got for my birthday.

The first cosplay beach party we went to, it's the one daddy ended up in the hospital
Shaking it out before a good groom

I'm not sure what to do on this green stuff

It smells like I could eat it

Something going on over there that I disapprove of

Daddy plucked my butt, that's the fur that came out

I think she's dressed as an anime character called D.Va 
Daddy laid out my beach towel for me

Showing off my beach towel

I might decide to flop on this, but not right now


Time for a groom

Washing my foot

A professional picture taker took this one of me
When we were walking back to where we were being picked up by Wheel-Trans daddy found some sand for me to try.
Not sure I like this stuff

I told daddy that I didn't like sand, it's course and irritating and gets everywhere.

Nope still don't like this stuff


I'm going over there on the green stuff




We also got the last two pieces of the prize we won back in March, a card game and $25 (it was supposed to be a gift card for a wig, but neither daddy or me wear a wig, so we got the cash value.
This is the card game, daddy is going to sell it or give it away. Considering we don't have friends that play these kinds of games.
Daddy also got a few of the things he ordered off the internet.
This is supposed to be a blade called a Kurkhi, which is a knife the Gurkha use. It's a lot smaller than what it was supposed to be.

The blade is made in the style of Damascus Steel.
 Damascus steel is made by "folding" the metal over and over as the blade is being forged, that's how it gets such an interesting pattern.

Daddy also got a replacement for the pen he lost, this time though, it's chained to daddy's belt so it can't be lost.
We've also got our tickets for Fan Expo at the end of this month, and tickets to the CNE (also at the end of the month).
Ohhh, and on Tuesday me and daddy are taking my granty Flo to see Christopher Robin, I picked out her present and I can't wait for her to see it.
I got a new friend to go with us on Tuesday, this is Eeyore 

He makes a great pillow.
Using my best "I'm so hungry" face to get treats after our shopping trip.

Star Wars week

Today is May 1st which means it's Empire day 5/01 (501st Legion), tomorrow is my Empire day 5/02 (502nd Hopper's Paw, that's my group on Facebook). May 4th, of course, is Star Wars day, and May 5th is also called Revenge of the fifth (Revenge of the Sith), that day we are going to a new comicon, this one is WAY out near the airport at a mall (me and daddy stopped in there last month on our way to and from the Pet Expo).

I sort of forgot to finish this post, so I'm going to jump ahead to today and update what has been happening since then.

The May 4th celebration was awesome as always, we also got video greetings from some Star Wars celebs, the last one was my favourite, Alan Turduk (who played K2S0 in Rogue One). Because next years date falls on a Saturday they are going to plan an all-day event, and some of the celebs may come too.
Saturday was really cool, we went to that mall we stopped at on the way to the Pet Expo in April, you know, the one with the amusement park inside. Well, that mall had what is possibly the smallest con ever, there were 10 vendors, no celebs (not even Z list actors, which would be scraping the bottom of the bucket), and a wrestling show, which to be honest was the only remotely interesting thing that they had, if for no other reason then the wrestlers were dressed up in pop-culture costumes (Green and Blue Rangers from Power Rangers, and Elmo, who won his match against Spongebob). We did, however, meet up with daddy's cousin and his partner (also daddy's old high school friend), and we hung out for the day.
Daddy says his costume is finally finished, this was taken at the mallcon

Daddy bought this drawing of Boba, it's our first piece of Star Wars art that we paid money for.

Daddy bought these thinking they were props (plastic) with the intention to add them to his costume.......

......But, there's a tiny problem, these throwing knives are actually real, so they won't be becoming part of his costume.
All of May we were hyped to go see the new Han Solo movie, which was called Solo: a Star Wars Story. Well, daddy surprised me with a birthday present, he took me to see it on June 2nd, it was awesome!!!!! 
Our ticket to go see it.

See, this is my Birthday boy button that I've had since I turned 1

Rechinning to make sure everybun knows it's mine.

My friends at the Disney store made this extra special birthday button for me.

This is my present from daddy, I wasn't allowed to see it until my birthday, luckily it was the next day, so I didn't have long to wait.

The family birthday present, daddy says it had a bad influence on me.


This is my birthday present, a BIG beach towel/blanket

Checking out my towel, now if daddy would only take me to the beach

I like this towel

However I disapprove of daddy covering me up with it.

This is my birthday cake.

Chewies Birthday cake.
Daddy also found a few things from the new Han Solo movie, at first we were rather disappointed in the lack of stuff for the movie, but since the opening a lot more stuff has come out.
Back Pack, wouldn't hold much for us, but I guess it's more for kids.

Daddy did buy one of these water bottles, but it's wrong, I'm his co-pilot, cause Chewie stays home.

These are Han Solo's lucky Sabbacc dice, you see them in The Last Jedi and they are featured quite a bit in the Solo movie.

They're my lucky dice now

Hung in my stroller, it's what passes as a cockpit for me.
