Tiny Duffy and TusCon 2011 part 2



They had a lot of fancy geodes at the hotel, for some reason.





I let Duffy pick a toy out of the treat and toy bowl.



I didn't let him take this one home. It was kind of creepy.



Later he took another one.



It wasn't that dark out but this picture looked spooky.



Weird Chinese beverage thing.



"LO-HAN-KUO BEVERAGE

DOSAGE: TO BE TAKEN AFTER HAVING DISSOLVED ONE PIECE OF THE CUBE WITH 100 CC.OF BOILING WATER. ONE PIECE FOR EACH TIME AND 2-3 TIMES FOR EACH DAY."

Oh, NOW I get it. Wait, no I don't.



Duffy likes Spiderman because they can both climb up walls.



Fancy Duffy.



Duffy with body parts.



Duffy with chili!



Oh no! Be careful, Duffy!



But he escaped. Goodbye from Tus-con!

Tiny Duffy and TusCon 2011

Here are some pictures from a recent trip to Tucson and my favorite convention, TusCon.



It is hard to stay safe when you are a tiny bear.

3 reasons eegee's is awesome:



Cherry Cider eegee's…one of the very best flavors of the month ever.



Ranch with fries. BY DEFAULT. (Speaking of which, it's a sub/sandwich place where you can get fries. WITH RANCH. BY DEFAULT.)





Captain eegee's! I think he actually predates Mr. Incredible.

Tiny Duffy waits for a panel at TusCon. (Note the Sprite behind him.)



Tiny Duffy has nachos in the con suite.



Trees!













Outside the film room.


Can you find a hidden Mickey?


Just resting.


Inside the film room. POPCORN!



And since I'm lazy and this is a super-easy way to do an entry, more next week!

More Duffy in Prescott

(OK, so this one published earlier than I wanted, but ah well...it's Monday somewhere!)

I don't have time to say much and Duffy is just so darned cute! (More photos and an explanation of Duffy in last Monday's entry.)

Duffy's paws are magnets, so he can pose in some odd places, like this painting on the stairs of our hotel.


Or he can pose in front of nature! Noooooo, that is not a painting. Not at all. (shifty eyes)


I believe the Hotel St. Michael is the oldest hotel in Prescott, though there may be a bed and breakfast that is older.


Some of the shots made it look kind of stormy, but it really wasn't. Just warm.


OK, this is one of those places where the full-sized (19"?) Duffy would be cuter.




This is a timeline area out in front of the courthouse, that has a timeline of mostly Arizona (but some nation/worldwide) events. I'm sure the Arizona flags are for Arizona's centennial (our state will be 100 in February!).




No, Duffy is not a Mason.


In the background is kind of antique-store row.


He even has a magnet on the back of his head, so he can levitate. Kind of.




Blimpie is so much better than Subway!

Duffy the Disney Bear in Prescott

OK, I've been blogging since January...if this blog were a baby it would have been born by now! In all that time, I'm not sure you've all realized that I am at least a little silly. If you haven't realized that by now, well, I hope you can get used to it.

Pictures from Prescott with Duffy the Disney Bear. (It's the tiny magnet-pawed one. I made the sailor suit and hat myself!)

Duffy at Bashford Courts.




Like a bear in a candy store.



I live in a new city so you NEVER see fire escapes.


Parking garage:


View from parking garage:


Panda Express. Duffy likes to eat.


Tiny Blue Bunny ice cream.




Iced hot chocolate from Coco's (only 99 cents! and weird but good):


One of the nice things about having a bear for a friend is that they are omnivorous, so they won't get mad at you for eating their friends or think you are crazy for just eating vegetables.




And this is just outside one of the shops from Prescott. I believe a couple years ago they had a chalkboard that read "We'll all be just fine in 2009."
