A Delores Fisher Outside View: San Diego Comic Con 2015

San Diego Comic Con 2015 was quite an event this year with more interactive family oriented events outside the Convention Center for those who did not(it sold out REALLY fast for 2015) or could not purchase a ticket. As you all know, I like to cover the outside events and have a blast with cosplayers who dress up in costume for what ever reason. I watched as several young bloggers mingled with the crowds, asking questions and writing down responses. I had to smile. San Diego Comic Con is an event during which bloggers can cover a plethora of topics from diverse perspectives.(See my series of posts from the Sonictapestry Blog : https://sonictapestry.wordpress.com/2015/07/10/delores-fishers-comic-con-chronicles-2015-1/

This year was filled with inter-active outside events as well as cosplayers willing to share a pose or a smile.

A moment to remember: Me and the uproarishly hilarious "Sharknado Girls"

Outside "happenings" also included a giant Simpson robot:

A Ferris Wheel at Petco Park:

A Cosplay competition in the Interactive Zone

One of my favorite cosplayers took time for an interview that I will post on Youtube soon. We discussed the new diversity/inclusion perspective of Marvel Comics and its narratives that provide accessible reading opportunities linked to enhance literacy.

A 4th post on Sonic Tapestry will explore impacts of comics and literacy on our diverse populations.

Part of A Legacy:Calvary Baptist Church San Diego

Those of you following me on Twitter and at The Center For World Music: https://centerforworldmusic.org/about-us/board/ know that I was a pianist at Calvary Baptist Church in San Diego California back in the day. Charles Ray was the organist/pianist, professor Jean Wesson was the music director. I also played accompanied the Calvary Baptist Church Youth Choir under the direction of Carol Durgan. The church was known as Second Baptist in 1889 on the corner of 1st and B street. It was moved to the corner of then Crosby Street, https://www.calvarybcsd.org/history/ now known as 719 Cesar E. Chavez Pkwy. and at this time is following the leadership of pastor Dr. Emanuel Whipple Sr. And this Sunday in September 2012 Calvary Baptist Church had a Youth Choir Reunion Concert at 3:30. The concert was a musical extravaganza! This post is going viral so I must do a 2024 update: Hello Dr. Buchanon. Thank you for reading my post from 2012. I am honored!!!!

Jellyfish around San Diego Embarcadero and Broadway Pier

Delores Fisher Blogger on an early Morning stroll Jellyfish are visiting the San Diego CA. Broadway Pier and Embarcadero again. Jellyfish appeared to swarm in this same area in 2012. Although I posted about the Black Nettle Jellyfish in July 2012, this was the first time since that year that I have seen any type of jellyfish in such numbers at the pier. http://carpenoctum2.blogspot.com/2012/08/black-sea-nettle-jellyfish-at.html However, multiple sightings of similar and other jellyfish have increased since 2012. Several have been posted on youtube. 2015 has been an odd weather year for San Diego with heat and odd rainfall days (despite our drought). It is possible that temperature shifts are part of the reason why jellyfish are in our bays and near our beaches. Our October weather has been unseasonably hot this early fall, similar to temperatures during earlier 2015 seasonal sightings. Shannon Handy reported on a North County swarm of Sail jellyfish in May.

Professor Richard Thompson San Diego State University School of Music and Dance Professor Richard Thompson Composer/Pianist Exciting news!!!!!!!
