Cool and Collected

Collecting pop culture toys, comics, and collectibles collections

August 6, 2012 By 6 Comments

The League has spoken: Road trip!

league logo This week’s assignment from the League asked us to plot out our ultimate pop culture road trip. Everyone came up with excellent stops for the ultimate road trip, and for this week’s recap, I’ll mention just one of the stops mentioned by each blog, but do yourself a favor and click through to see everyone’s full list. Here goes…

  • Goodwill Hunting 4 Geeks is going to see the world’s largest ball of twine.
  • The Green Plastic Squirtgun wants to go see the Hunger Games.
  • The Man Who Stares at Toys is going to the Secret Stash.
  • Rediscover the 80’s wants to go where everybody knows your name.
  • Shezcrafti has a hankering for some Chunky Monkey.
  • Branded in the 80’s is looking to revisit the scene of a massacre in Texas.
  • Cool & Collected is going to Superman’s hometown, Metropolis.
  • That Figures is taking a stroll to the Village.
  • Life with Fandom is going to hit a few road side sales.
  • The Cavalcade of Awesome is walking in the footsteps of Billy the Kid.
  • Geek Cultural is using his road trip to get an education on the history of computing in the UK.
  • Team Hellions is looking for the bear with no hands.

Housekeeping

    Hey Brian, I’ve missed the past few challenges and this one would have been great. So I came up with a piece of art that would go great with this, I need a couple weeks to finish it but I think the Leaguers will love it!!

    Allright! All done, I think you guys will get a kick out of this! After working on this and reading everyone’s posts I’ve started mapping out a tentative route to hit some of these places you guys have mentioned!
