Ronda Rousey at Blizzcon 2017
Blizzcon 2017 was amazing.
If I wasn’t so exhausted, I’d tell you about it. Instead, I’ll let this video do my talking for me.
Why am I so exhausted? It was just after midnight when my plane landed back in Winnipeg. I took my phone off of Airplane mode and started to gather my things when my phone chirped a notification from my cousin.
“Did you see Ronda Rousey at Blizzcon?”
Did I who the what now?
I’ve mentioned in the past that the former UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion-turned actress/WWE hopeful, was also a World of Warcraft player. Turns out, Ms Rousey also loves her some Blizzcon. She and her husband, former UFC Heavyweight contender and all-around man-beast, Travis Brown, appropriately dressed as Death Knights and came to Blizzcon 2017 to check out the new expansion, Battle for Azeroth.
At least they chose the right class.
But that’s Blizzcon. You never know what – or who – you’re going to see.
Let’s do it again in 2018!
Checking My To Do List
Halloween. Trick or Treat. I don’t care about any of that, because right now the Trick is getting ready for Blizzcon. The Treat is making sure everything actually gets done.
- Gather gold from my World of Warcraft Order Halls – DONE. It was a good haul with 120k gold Horde-side, and 62k for the Alliance.
- Check documents – DONE. Passport is legit, and I’ve printed out my Blizzcon ticket bar code, airline info, and accommodations information.
- Check flight – DONE. The itinerary changed, but that was for the return flight. I’ll get home around 1am Monday morning, and have to make an appearance at work that day. I plan on doing plenty of airport sleeping.
- Confirm room – DONE. I checked my AirBnB on Google Map, and couldn’t find anywhere nearby to buy food. Looks like a weekend of carbs and protein bars.
- Transport – DONE. I checked to see if it would be cheaper to Uber or Shuttle from the airport to the AirBnB. Looks like there’s only a couple bucks difference. I may walk from the house to the Convention Center. It’s only 2 miles. That’s a recreational stroll in Rokkville. Maybe not at night, but definitely a nice brisk stroll to stand in line Friday.
- Pack –
DONE. I’m seeing cloudy and drizzle for Blizzcon so I may only chop the sleeves off of a couple of my t-shirts. But I’ll pick things out closer to the day. Which I guess would be… tomorrow? Jeez.
Did I forget anything? Can you think of something I may have missed?
Happy Halloween, if you’re so inclined.
