I Got to Meet a Minion!

It’s a bit silly.  But I don’t care.  One of the best things about Blissdom, was getting my picture taken with a Minion.

That’s Stuart.  And me.  And I’m a little star struck.  Celebrity sightings and meet and greets don’t generally get me weak kneed.  I mean even if they walk down the red carpet those stars still put their pants on one leg at a time, know what I mean?!  But Minions…I’m not sure they actually do, I’m pretty sure they hop right into their pants with both legs.

I was secretly hoping that Universal Pictures had Minions, stuffed or real, to send home with us.  Okay, who am I kidding I wanted a real one, I’ve seen they do housework.

That was exciting for me.  As is the release of Despicable Me 2 coming out on July 3!  Here’s a new trailer and check out this mighty cool Despicablimp.

You can visit the Despicablimp Command Center at www.despicablimp.com to track the airship via GPS and see the tour stops it is making along the way.  Fans can tweet sighting of the blimp or post photos to Instagram or Flickr using #despicablimp to be featured on the site, and for a chance to win weekly prize giveaways.  There is even a Despicablimp sweepstakes, where one lucky Depsicable Me fan will win a trip for four to the Hollywood world premiere of the film and get the once-in-a-lifetime chance to ride in the blimp!
