So Much To Do at Tucson Comic-Con!

by Reporter Rori L. Divijak, Dove Mountain CSTEM K–8

During the three-day weekend on Sept. 2–4, I attended the 13th annual Tucson Comic-Con. This event was held at the Tucson Convention Center in downtown Tucson. It started at 3 p.m. on Friday and ran through Sunday at 5 p.m. This was the first Comic-Con in several years due to COVID cancellations the past few years. This was my first time attending Comic-Con and it was almost overwhelming because it was so large and there was so much to do.

Comic-Con presented a wide variety of activities and things to see over the course of three days. The scavenger hunt provided an opportunity to go around to meet others in the Exhibit Hall, Artist Alley, Gaming Room and those that represented fan groups and non-profit organizations. Prizes were awarded to those achieving different levels of success on the hunt. I enjoyed shopping and looking at all of the booths of artists selling all things related to Comic-Con. There was everything from LEGOs to comic-related artwork. There were two costume contests, one for kids and one for adults. In the gaming rooms you could compete against others or play video games. Each day there were panel sessions that you could attend to learn about a variety of topics. We went to panels about how to build a droid and a Kahoot-based game session. Some of the visiting celebrities and industry guests held panels, too.

The spirit and energy inside of the TCC during Comic-Con was amazing because there were so many participants in costumes. There were homemade and store bought costumes from many different television shows, movies and comic books.

Everyone was also very nice and loved asking for pictures or accepting requests for pictures with those in costume. My family were Mandalorians one day and characters from Demon Slayer on another. We were asked to be in many pictures each day! Overall Comic-Con was an amazing experience and I highly recommend going next year if you are someone who loves comic books or anime.

Music & Amazing Atmosphere at the Fox

by Reporter Kaitlyn Fitzgerald, Academy of Tucson

On Aug. 28, I went to The Fox Theatre to attend the Andy Grammer concert with opening artist Art Bloom. The Fox Theatre was built in 1930, and years later it was abandoned. Upon reopening they tried to restore its original look. Upon entering the venue you have a sense of awe—amazed by an original fountain and walls full of paintings. Entering the auditorium, the ceiling was covered in vintage carpeting and had beautiful chandeliers that looked like suns. The stage was set for the singers—they had fog machines and instruments for a live show.

I had the pleasure of meeting and getting a photo with Bloom. I asked Bloom, “What made you want to be a singer?” He says he started singing when he was young and his reason to keep singing was because of the feeling it gave him and others. When I asked Bloom the decision on his music genre, he summed up that it can be tricky, but he chose to pick what made him excited to keep listening over and over because when an artist works on music they listen to their work for hours on end and it should be enjoyable to them first.

My favorite song Bloom played at the show was “Jeans and a T Shirt.” I asked Bloom what he tries to portray for songs. He says that he tries to portray good vibe feelings. He says he wants to be the artist that gets put on for the good times and the start to the good times.

Pumpkins Are All Aglow in the Night

by Reporter Aeneas Pedregó Homeschool

Do you like Halloween and need a way to celebrate? Then go to the Glowing Pumpkins event where you will see hundreds of handcrafted pumpkins ablaze in the moonlight.

I went there with my family, and I was amazed. There were pumpkins everywhere along the path. All kinds of characters were painted and carved on pumpkins like superheroes, witches, and princesses. There were separate sections, each filled with similar things and haunting music. My favorite part was the graveyard because it had creepy headstone puns. For example, one said, “Barry M. Deep.” It was fun trying to figure out what they meant. In the gift shop, they sold real life worms and crickets. I ate gummy eyeballs.

Bobby Sutton Jr., owner of Glowing Pumpkins, shared some facts and opinions with me. He said that the pumpkins are made out of foam and the artwork was made by the ew ork company, ack o’ antern ourney. When asked about his favorite holiday, he said, “Halloween. I love scary things… and pumpkins.” Sutton said this event was designed for families and is for kids of all ages. I agree and recommend that all parents and kids visit.

More Concert Continued from page 7

Bloom says his favorite song he has recorded is his next release called “Tyco.” He says it was fun to write, rework and mix. He says every song is a little time capsule of his life.

Closing out my questions, I asked Bloom to share about playing in Tucson and the Fox Theatre. Bloom responded that the shows are always his favorite, but meeting people before and after the show is always a highlight. He likes to connect with people from all over and learn about them as much as he enjoys putting on the show.

Andy Grammer came on stage and the first song he played is my favorite, “Damn It Feels Good To Be Me.” This is an inspiring song for people who think they should be different. You should always be your true self and that is what this song rings out when you listen to it you can’t stop singing along

Grammer played other popular songs which also inspire you to love yoursel and to tell yoursel to e who you were meant to e and don’t listen to the hate parade. His music shows that even celebrities can have bad days and need some cheering up. Grammer has many songs to love, but another one en oyed seeing live was Don’t ive p on e which was eatured in the movie “Five Feet Apart.”

Both artists made fans rise to their feet and sway along to their songs. his concert was my irst ever and it was an ama ing e perience le t with confetti in my hair and a smile on my face.

The Hills Are Alive at the Historic Fox Theatre

by Reporter Sophie Hannley Esperero Canyon Middle School

On Saturday, Sept. 27, the Fox Theater showed “The Sound of Music” on the big screen. This was the last of their summer movie sing-a-long series. ’ve seen this movie on , ut nothing compares to the ama ing picture quality of a big screen. It made me feel like I was part of the cast. What made it special was, because it was a sing-a-long, the lyrics to all the songs were on the screen. Seeing the words encouraged the audience to get really into the movie and they belted out every song as if they were Maria.

The Fox Theatre, being a historic building, has a lot of cool features that average movie theaters don’t. ike love seats in the alcony was told that the best seats in the house are the love seats in the front row.

Before the movie started, there was a historic theater organ in the middle of the stage playing old-time theater music. This organ, called the Mighty urlit er, was originally designed to make all the sound e ects or silent movies. The organ sits on a hydraulic lift and before the movie started, it lowered down below the stage. This Halloween, the organ is going to be played live to the silent movie, The Phantom of the Opera.

I was lucky enough to get a backstage tour of the theater by Jordan Wileyill, the Fo heatre’s utreach and ducation anager. ordan took me on an awesome ackstage tour. saw the lounge, the reen oom, where the artists go and hang out before their show and the dressing rooms. All the walls backstaged are graffted and signed by all the artists that perform. There are even rumors o ghosts eing in the dressing rooms

The Fox Theatre was built in 1929 by Nicholas Diamos. It was originally going to be called The Tower. One day after construction finished, the Fox Movie Corporation bought it. The theater was originally built to be a silent movie theater, but once it was bought it was turned into a “talkie” theater. In the ’s, this was considered the movie palace o ucson. t was the irst public building in Tucson to have indoor carpeting and A/C. The Fox Theatre had the longest running Mickey Mouse Club in the country.

he Fo heatre shut down in the mid ’s ecause there was too much competition from other movie theaters. The Tucson community worked constantly to get it re-opened. Finally in 1999, the Theater began to be renovated. Finally after six years of renovation, the Fox Theater reopened to the public.

This historic building is worth the trip downtown. They have movies, shows and musical performances, something for everyone.

Trick or treat time is here, so get dressed up in your ghastly rags or ghostly best and head out to oin the estivities here’s lots o fall fun to be found all around town.
