Way
back when, Christine, Mario and Jerry had told me that they wanted to
host their own Star Wars Convention, and had asked if I would be a guest.
They wanted the tag line to read "75% More Spat Than Other Leading
Cons!" I agreed, how could I not?
Well,
it took a while, but they actually did it! And thus, Empire
Fan Fest was born.
Before
we get to the pics, let me just give huge thanks to Chris, Mario, Jerry,
Meri, and everyone else who helped put this show together. They did
an awesome job, and I had a great time!
Here
we are outside the con.
When
we finally did head in, it took me an hour to walk down one aisle of
the dealers room! Everyone there knew me! (Photo

Then
we headed to the bar at exactly 12 noon when it opened! (Photo courtesy

At 2
pm the SpatCave crew and I held our first panel on Costumes,
Props and F/X. (Photos courtesy

Then
we went back to the bar!
At
4 pm, we held our second panel. (Photo

And
here we are finally back at the hotel bar! Did you like all the pictures
we have of the convention? (Photo

Here
I am with my two cousins, Greg and Dolores, who stopped by the convention
to see what it was all about.
Here's
Sam, Tony and me having some fun.
Lance!
Lou
Tambone (above), and Jeff Cioletti let me sit down and watch "Silent
But Deadly 3". A new film they've just finished that stars
Heather and I as well as a whole lot of the members of the ECG and NER.
It was great! When it does finally get released over at Atom films,
be sure to check it out!
John,
the Hustler!
AJ trying
to get some at the bar! Be sure to check out his website for his C.C.
Banana pics!
Tony
calling me out! Notice he's wearing his "Got Spat" t-shirt!
Heather,
professional barfly.
At Icon,
I missed the performance of Aerosith,
and promised them that I wouldn't miss them at EFF. So here they are
playing! Of course, I wanted to do something a little extra special
for them, so I ran up to my room, grabbed a pair of boxer shorts and
stuck them down the front of my pants. Then, while they were playing
I ran out onto the dance floor, screamed a whole lot, pulled the boxers
out of my pants and tossed them on the stage. Then I flashed them for
good measure before running out of the room. Still haven't gotten those
boxers back!
Another
band was all set to go on stage after Aerosith, and that band was Jem!
For those who don't remember, Jem and the Holograms was a cartoon from
the 80's, and Samantha Newark
(pictured above with Heather) was the voice of Jem. More about her a
little later...
Here's
Walter, our bartender! How is it that at every con, we always seem to
find the coolest Hotel Bartenders in the world?!?!
John,
giving Heather some sugar.
Lance
and I at the bar.
Here's
Mike Regan
and Samantha Newark playing.
Back
at the bar with Michael Sheard
(Admiral Ozzel in The Empire Strikes Back, and Indian Jones and the
Last Crusade).
Here's
the little Snoopy that the actors got as a gift from one of the Star
Wars fan clubs (I forget which one), and that Heather kept trying to
steal.
Heather
and Michael, with Ken Colley trying to give Michael the Devil Horns!
John
and Samantha.
Szilvia
and Samantha.
Sam,
Mike and Szilvia.
And
some other girl whose name I've forgotten with Sam. My bad.
John
and Mike talking music.
Me!
John
molesting (or being molested by) Tanya.
And
finally, Mike Quinn and his wife with Cherie!
