First Time in Texas

It’s crazy to believe I’ve been all over the globe, but have never been to Texas!

First time in Texas!

What brought me to Dallas? TINYCON 5!

I was in Dallas for a long weekend - I got in late Thursday night and flew out late morning on Monday - so a very quick trip to say the least. I think I was able to cover most of the highlights in the few days I was there. The highlights were:

Lunch at Hard Eight!

• BBQ

  • Hard Eight

• Bishop Arts District

  • Bishop Arts was a cute little shopping area with some fun looking restaurants and cafes! I walked away with some candles, a new top and a ring!

• Grassy knoll where JFK was assassinated

  • This was so surreal to see the spot where JFK was shot. I had seen it before in videos in social studies class, but to see it in person was so different, yet familiar as it looked exactly as it did in the videos!

Won’t lie, I was a bit underwhelmed, but I did have some yummy food and got to meet some new friends at TinyCon! Check out more about my time at TinyCon 5 here!

TinyCon 5!

Today I attended TinyCon 5, hosted by the Society of Play. TinyCon is focused on independent creators & artisans - where you can play games from indie game developers and check out local art from the community.

Society of Play is very near and dear to my boyfriend’s heart, so we decided fly out and support his friends and the event, not to mention it was an opportunity to meet his virtual friends in person!

There were a ton of fun games made by all of the local developers, which were pretty cool to see come to life from people we know! Some of the games I played were:

• Strikewave

• Dragon Drop

• The Art of Flight

And of course, a convention isn’t a convention without a mascot, who made an appearance - Hello GLUBE!

Can’t wait for TinyCon 6 next year!
