Conventions are back! With the sudden global pandemic that happened, comic cons are something that basically just went away. Protection of everyone’s health became more important than large gatherings of fans. Keeping everyone safe became more important than cosplay or meeting one’s favorite celebrity. So for the last year and a half, we really haven’t seen too many conventions, especially large ones with the opportunity to meet celebs. Until now!

Last year, while Ricky and I were in London on vacation, he decided to surprise me one day with tickets to see my favorite DJ. Then we went to dinner, and that night he proposed on Tower Bridge.

The first time I remember hearing anything about International Women’s Day was when I was working on my MBA. It came up because I was in a class that dealt with some businesses overseas, and we needed to communicate with them, but we couldn’t because it was a national holiday in that country, and they were closed for the day. This intrigued me. Why had I never heard of this holiday before? If it was a holiday celebrating women, why didn’t we do anything for it here in the U.S.?
