San Diego Comic Con 2014! Part 1 – Wednesday/Thursday
Instead of one massive post about the best week of the summer, I’m going to split it up this time. Yeah, this might be an old hat for me but every year there is something new to do and something cooler to experience! We got to stay at the Hilton Bayfront this time around. This hotel is a little more out of the way but it’s one of the main…

Transformers: Age of Extinction Review
