Our library was transformed into different world of superheroes, a galaxy of Sci-Fi characters and fantasy. Fandom Fest is a one day celebration of pop culture, geek and comics organized by Niles-Maine Library in Illinois. Attendees had a chance to dressed as their favorite characters (cosplay) and take photos with members from 501st Legion. The concept was inspired from different " Comic Cons " and the library hosted the event for all ages - free admission! Hosting such kind of event will encourage everyone to appreciate comic books, TV shows and movies. Fandom Fest also feature an artist gallery, trivia contests, a family friendly cosplay parade, creative workshop, art painting and meeting MeTV's Svengoolie as their special guest. There is also an upcoming schedule of panel discussions and workshops like fangirls and feminism, drawing workshops and tabletop gaming . Overall, the event itself is a success and I hope our library will make this as an annual...

Note: I added the post event update below Tomorrow, August 21, 2017 at around 11:54am, the biggest event is about to happen when the Moon will start to block Chicago's view of the Sun! I have seen different eclipses when I was in the Philippines but this time I am so excited because we're going to witness a total solar eclipse! During those times, we used a small basin with water or old X-ray films. There are viewing areas to see the eclipse: at the Alder Planetarium, Daley Plaza, Southern Illinois University in Carbondale and in Perryville, MO. We got our free solar eclipse glasses at Daley Plaza in downtown Chicago and there are free outdoor activities like block party and educational talks with experts and Astronomers!

Instead of lengthy discussions about issues this and that, how about you go back from the start and how you do things back in the day? Can you go back to that? Or do you have something to go back to? Some things start for all the wrong reasons, and thus led to issues being encountered now. How about we all pause and think back how we do things when we were all starting? It was all about our personal experiences, adventures and whatnots. What happened to that? What happened to now? How about we do that again? Can we do that again? I know i can, but can you? And if you can, will you? Because i will and i am doing it now. I suggest you do it to. Take a step back and restart. It's not too hard. Compared to what's going on now, taking a step back to step one and restarting is easier and a much wiser decision, not to mention a very needed one. You might wonder what exactly am i pertaining to. Nothing in particular to be honest. That's how i initially wanted this to ...
