#La convention center

Now Visiting: The Fit Expo (2024)!

I seem to be getting to the LA Convention center a lot lately, and I don't hate it. We live local to places people travel so far to get to, and we need to embrace the adventure of home more often. Anyways, this is a traveling current event, so maybe this post inspires you to go!

Home | The Fitness Expo (thefitexpo.com)

Why was I going to The Fit Expo? My cousin's boyfriend was going there as a booth for his side gig, Tanq Athletics. But otherwise, I am pretty active and healthy in general so I thought I might get something out of this regardless. What did I find there?

A lot of people, a diverse group of people. There was chunkier people exercising with people of all different fitness levels; there were famous people; body builders; and so much more! There was such a variety of booths: food, health products, athletic apparel, dogs, police and military recruitment. Like really, anyone who doesn't have a job that wants one can pay to get in and apply for any of the service jobs there. Oh, also samples. Like there was every major energy drink brand there and they were handing out full size drinks-really if you just take a bag and fill it up with drinks-you can get your money's worth in drinks.

Parking, at least for LA on the weekend of 1/20-1/21, was $25 and tickets were $30 ish? They were only taking cash for the tickets or pay on line and check in once there. My only complaint is that, in comparison to the car show that was way more spread out, this was all in one hall. While there is so much going on between playgrounds for kids (and adults), talking panels, dog training, and cooking demos-it was all in one concentrated area. It would of been cool to be more spread out. But really there was so much good stuff there.

It is funny, I am not totally fat but like not a body builder like I used to be, and man I felt like the fattest one there! It was nice to see more people in general covered up, but so much skin tight clothing. Plus there was almost a chest battle for getting the free advertising space that is someone's shirt? It was very interesting. Let me know what you like best from this expo!

At Amazing Comic Con on Sunday, Tara Strong and her bf along with Greg Cipes and his brother hosted a panel that my bf, @jeffys-stuff, and I were fortunate enough to attend. Tara Strong and Greg Cipes are well known for voicing Raven and Beast Boy from Teen Titans. They talked about their podcast called The Ship-It Show, which I have been a long time fan of!

In this video, they held a Q&A session, and I got the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to ask them a question. I still can't believe how lucky I was for getting the chance to do that! I felt brave at first walking to the line, but once I was finally up to ask my question I got pretty nervous. But Tara and Greg's banter was so hilarious and made me laugh! 😆

A few months ago, some of you might know if you keep up with this blog, I went to Collect-A-Con LA. It was truly on a whim. Literally the day before my girlfriend and I had just come back from our Europe trip. Normally I'd be so tired and jetlagged but for some reason I was feeling really antsy and energized and just needed to go somewhere and get out of the house.

I found out that Collect-A-Con LA was happening the following day and that a lot of the original Pokemon voice cast would be there. So I bought a ticket, drew/printed up a picture that I wanted to get signed and got up early to drive to the convention center (you have to understand that I hate driving in town and also very much never wake up early). I don't know what possessed me to do this but I'm so glad I did.

I ended up having the privilege of meeting Eric Stuart, Veronica Taylor and of course, Rachael Lillis.

She was masked up, looked tired, and a bit sick. And at the time, I assumed she might've caught a cold over the weekend of the con. I went to her table and she still smiled and gave me all of her attention and time. I paid her assistant for an autograph, gave Rachael the drawing I'd done and she got to signing it. Her assistant said the print I had was cute and asked where I got it. I told her that I drew it myself and that I spent a LOT of my time drawing Team Rocket and other various Pokemon fanart. When I said that, Rachel stopped mid-sign and looked up and squinted at me and asked "are you Kiana Mai"? My heart skipped. I had no idea she knew who I was and was surprised that, given how many Pokemon fanartists there are in the world, she was able to pick me out. I left that interaction so happy and felt so seen. Soon after, I went to get my print signed by Veronica Taylor and while in her line, noticed Rachael had left her table; presumably not feeling well and had to leave the con early. I remember thinking how lucky I was to catch her before she left.

A couple months later, I saw the gofundme that her sister posted, detailing what Rachel was going through for the past few years and her battle with cancer. It put that convention day in such a different perspective for me.

All I could think about was how much she cared about her fans and how in touch with her community she was to go to a convention while being in so much pain and suffering in silence. I obviously don't know her personally, but based on how other fans who've met her, as well as her colleagues have spoken about her, I got the impression that she was an amazing, thoughtful person who cared about the people around her. That was only solidified for me based on this singular interaction a few months ago.

Rest in Peace Rachael Lillis. You've touched so many lives with your voice and so much of us grew up listening you. Thank you for everything!
