2017 FOCO COMIC CON Success!

Hero-making success! Nick and the Nicksters enjoyed two days of science fiction fun and fantasy at the 2017 Fort Collins Comic Con (FC3). The event raises money for the Poudre libraries through geek inclusivity and fun! FC3 raised $30,000 for the Poudre Libraries this year alone. Here are some highlights:

From set up to show, we enjoyed such an awesome community event.

Nick and Liz found a great geek winter hat.

Inspired and technically perfect costumes abounded!

Nick’s speech on the Inner Hero caused inner ponderings as the inner heros developed. Nick’s inner monologue says he is a super-genius.

The T.A.R.D.I.S. even landed at the Aztlan Center!

The table became a crafting zone for hero masks!

And of course the two Nicks. What an awesome job this year, Nick A! Stay tuned for more costume fun in our next post about the Comic Con.

Save the Date for FC3 2018 – August 25th and 26th

27 Years of the Americans With Disabilities Act

Jul 28

Posted by AwesomeinAction

On July 26, 2017, the Department of Justice published “27 Years of the Americans with Disabilities Act,” and Nick was so busy hanging out at the Ability Fest in Fort Collins, that he forgot to remind all of the Nicksters and you, his followers!

So, in a time of political uncertainty and tension, we here at AiA would like you to know that because of this piece of legislation 27 years ago, Nick is able to enjoy a quality of life from simple breathing, nourishment, outdoor water sports, to community speaking events like his 2015 TEDxFrontRange speech, or taking an evening “roll” through the neighborhood as the sun sets.

Thank you ADA, former President George HW Bush, and all your proponents in Congress. You and the folks who adhered to the law made an incredibly positive change in our world and are what being awesome is all about!
