Afternoon, Ladies
and Gents…
So, The Con,
Joey’s told me about the one she went to in Dallas, and she had my interest…just
out of sheer curiosity. Yeah, I’ve
always loved Star
Wars, the un-politically correctness of Family
Guy with their crip jokes, and my budding collection of graphic novels
thanks to The Walking Dead, but
Midland didn’t have those sort of things…until a few years ago, literally.
The first year
we missed, because if the cruise,
I believe. The next year, we were gonna make
it come hell or high water as far as Joey was concerned. The
Force Awakens had come out in Dec. and was cleaning up at the box office,
so there was a butt load of Star Wars cosplayers along with your anime and
Marvel characters. There was a portly
Stewie and a couple as Mario and Luigi.

Then, there
were the toys, OMG, the toys. A budget
could easily be decimated at The Con.
Angus Scrimm from the Phantasm
franchise recently died, so I bought a Tall Man drawing. The vendor was so happy with my knowledge of
film, he gave me a discount for the three that caught my eye.
One of Joey’s
friend/providers’, Keta, kids were dressing up with a booth, so we had to check them
out. Also, one of Joey’s hairstylist
friends, Alecta Arcana, was there with her troupe. Celebrity-wise, we’ve seen Vern Troyer (Mini
Me), the original Black Power Ranger (Walter Emanuel Jones), Ed (Kel Mitchell) from
Good Burger, Viz Media’s Sailor
Neptune’s voice (Lauren Landa), and Chick (Ryan Hurst) from Bates Motel. Again, you could lose your budget geeking out
with these people…nothing comes for free.
One dude was
at a booth, who I immediately took for Magic Mike, so I asked him to take a pic
with Joey. We’re not jealous, we know
who we’re going to bed with at the end of the day; hence, our pics
As we were
leaving that first Con, there was a Kylo Ren stalking around quietly. I called out to take a pic with us, which he
obliged. March’ll be our third Con together. I can’t wait!
Be good to each other.
