So, Im sitting at my desk here at home trying to unwind and decompress from the events that happened over the weekend! Its gonna take me a bit to get back to normal again, but I wanted to make a small post summing up my experience at Golden Demon while everything is still rattling around in my brain completely raw and unorganized.
Its been a dream of mine to attend Golden Demon since I was a kid in the 90s. For the last year, Ive been talking about going this year. And thanks to some decent sales with my automotive brand I run, along with the help of my wonderful Pepper Belmont that dream became a reality! She did so much to help make this a reality while I spent a solid 3 months prepping for the event! Thank you so much my love! You are amazing!
All of February I spent painting up my squad of Ultramarines that I wanted to bring to compete with. The final Ultramarine was used for filming my new Grim Bright Ultramarines Painting Tutorial that released last week. I had a few other odds and ends to take care of mini wise before Golden Demon, and I made it all happen!
So, last Thursday, we got on a plane to Milwaukee and off we went! I spent the entire weekend meeting and hanging out with SO many amazing people! I will be making a video scrapbook in the coming weeks as a fun remembrance of the event!
But to wrap this post up as Im getting tired, I did what I never thought would happen. I brought home 4 "Notable Entry" pins! I still cannot believe that I pulled that off! I honestly thought Id come home with nothing. But I came home with something to show that ALL of the hard work and sacrifices Ive made in the last few years has pushed my painting to a level I NEVER dreamed it would reach thru my whole life!
So with all that said, Im off to bed! Thank you to my Pepper gal, I am beyond thankful God put you in my life and I couldnt have done this without you by my side... And thanks to everyone who hung out and that I met this past weekend. It was the experience of a lifetime!
Loved to see this and your unit at GD!
