ShadowSpat
takes revenge!
Tell
me that sticker is not DEAD ON.
Kevin
stopped by. He's a Colonial Marine who refuses to order my armor!
David
Richmond Peck from V and The Day The Earth Stood Still punching me out.
ABC
sent David to the show, and it was one of the crew from there that was
really drunk the night before and sitting right where my jacket was.
So David made a call, and about an hour later the crew from the party
showed up with my jacket, and my Passport! WOOT!! I can go home. But
do I really want to?
Magda
marked her Volunteer. CLAIMED!!
Magda
Apanowicz (Caprica) sporting the Supes shirt with me and then punching
me out! See how she put her whole body into it? That's a punch!
I don't
usually shill for our guests, but if you ever see Magda at a show, go
up and talk to her. She is an incredibly unique person and gave the
most amazingly detailed autographs at the show. Every signed photo came
with a story.
Josie
Lee in her Purple Dress punching me out! Another girl giving me the
full Body Punch. No lazy jabs here!
And
once again, it's time for VOLUNTEER SWAG!! Here's some of the autographs
and free art that my (awesome) volunteer team got at the show!
Doug
and Derek played Dueling Shoulders.
It's
good to be a Volunteer!
Yeah,
Oh yeah. :)
Donna
Milburn, she was the Slashing Nurse in the Silent Hill video game. Here
she is sporting some Cobra Boob Armor!
Carol
Zara with the Jab!
Spat
Swag! Here's Shane Kirshenblatt and Kurt Lehner. They were so happy
with the work my team did at the show, they rewarded me with a gift!
A faux cover with me as the victim, and the little Alien Heads! AWESOME!!!
This
was in the Volunteer Break Room. I have no idea who did all these drawings.
Anyone?
Then
it was time to say goodbye, and close out the show and head to Gabby's!
My Staff
wristband.
OFF
DUTY!!
My staff
badge. Which broke. :(
Me and
Geoff!
We told
the bartender about the party from the night before. She said there
was an amazing Poutine shop right near it. I asked, "what the hell
is Poutine?" Shambooty explained that it was French Fries, covered
in Cheese and Gravy. Shocking.
Ryan,
the Chef came out to thank us for getting him a pass to the show and
walking him around introducing him to all the celebs and asked if we
wanted anything to eat. What else could we ask for?
Rich
and our Poutine!! Had I known about this stuff before, it's all I would
have eaten all week! It's freaking AWESOME!
Rich
and I commented that this is one of the few times that we were 110%
sure that there is no spit or hair in our food. Ryan loves us.
Shambooty
doing an impression of one of our guests at the show. I'm not saying
who.
Lance
and Geoff touching Shambooty's soft hair.
Shambooty's
booty.
And
her back-tat. NICE!
My beer.
That's right, I'm drinking beer. Why? I drank Gabby's out of Jack Daniels.
There was none left.
The
Wizard Crew, Crystal, Rick and Jimmy, getting photo bombed by Shambooty.
Lance
and Crystal and another Shambooty photo bomb! That girl is off the hook!
Froggy
and Crystal.
I'm
not really sure what's going on here.
This
one confuses me even more. Froggy, Shambooty and Tara. No idea.
This
one is also a mystery.
Closing
down the bar! Here's the Gabby's crew! Tara, Ryan, me and Shambooty!
Big
thanks to everyone at Gabby's for making us feel at home. If you're
ever downtown in Toronto, head to Gabby's on King Street West and tell
them Spat sent you! I won't get you anything, but at least they'll know
you went to the website! And plan on this being our main hub for next
year!
MONDAY
The
CN Tower! First is the view from my hotel, and the other two I took
while walking around it before heading to the airport.
While
walking around, the wind blew this wood construction wall away, and
it almost took out a car! I ran up and held it down until the construction
crew could get it back in place. Yeah, I'm kind of an International
Super Hero.
GABBY'S!!!
Here's
that final piece from the Wizard Booth. I saved it to hang in the Wizard
Office.
My Froggy
Photo with Jewel. Yippie!
My gift
from Bazza and Matt. Nice language!
This
was sent to me by my buddy Paul who printed the Volunteer and Staff
shirts.
And
that's the end.
Big
thanks to Wizard for letting me come to cons and party, AND paying me
to do it! Woo Hoo! Thanks to all my Volunteers and Staff for all their
hard work, couldn't do the show without you! Thanks to all the artists,
media guests and exhibitors that came to the show. Thanks to all my
Costume Contest Judges and everyone who sponsored it and participated!
By the
way, I bought a Pedometer to see how much I walk at a given show. It
capped out at 36 miles Saturday at about noon or so. It just stopped
working!
And
if you've never been to Toronto, go. It's a gorgeous city. It's like
they took all the hippest, fun parts of NY and just dropped them off
a little more North.
See
you all next year!
