C42018

Well the Central Canada Comic Con 2018  show is over and it was again a great show.  All of the Celebrity guest were engaging to be around again like many of the Con’s on past. img20181030_12254846This was the second show where Michael Dorn  was a Guest and He was just as polite this time as the last show very interactive and posed for many selfies with the Con Goers . The line for Todd Haberkorn  the line up for him was pretty much constant all weekend , Todd known for his voice work has a very large following. Also Todd stood up for many selfies with the fans . Adrian paul and Adam BuoteNext up Adrian Paul  who also put on a side class The Sword Experience which he also does for individual and team building and corporate events . Had a really good memory as he met my Son , Adam years previous when we had all the actors from The Hobbit series in attendance . Jewel Staite  had many a rush of autographs seekers and many attendee’s in the photo-op booth , Most of you would of course know her from Firefly and recently Stargate Atlantis , The Magicians and The killing. Paul Blake and Dave Barclay got into they’re rhythm half way through the convention when suddenly some Starwars people started lining up with their action figures to be autographed the Two gentlemen never turned anyone away from telling a good story of the making of the Franchise . Corin Nemec had to cut his show short as he was called away , as these things happen when you hire an Actor they sometimes get called back during our show, but before he left I kind of left him leaving with a good name Mix-up like no other ( not true ) because I screwed up Richard Comley with a wrestler many years ago as I was announcing guests to each other at a meet and greet now that was one funny and yet humbling experience.

But hand down this year in only my opinion was David Haydn-Jones  , This man would walk with the guests to the photo-op booth and have a chat with them along the way, He was standing most of the show and he was always getting selfie requests , He also answered one of my Son Adams  many questions about #Supernatural  , Then at the absolute end of the Comic con as he and Jewel Staite walked out he stopped by my booth and shook hands with me. apparently He had given Adam a Michael Knight POP figurine   20181103_214708

just for asking him if He will be returning as a Man of Letters in the Show. He explained that he doesn’t know as these show’s are filmed and written so fast that they get only a few weeks notice , But loved the role.

Next up about the show was the fun part as you see that the beginning of these events they are pretty bare and empty buildings. 20181025_131637

the initial set up took me and Jesslyn about a good 5 hours to put up all the Autographs and sort out the clothing , and memorabilia from past show’s . Most of Mike’s Collection , Owner of  Cobra Collectibles was cataloged by Myself and his Eldest  during the previous months just to get ready for this show and future shows to come . 20181025_16540920181027_16281820181027_162835

Another thing that was terrific about this show I was directly across from Sammy Castillo of TSCastilliostudios when , Miss Sammy would get change at her booth she would collect it and then send her family to me to exchange it for paper money apparently our coin doesn’t travel well . We had a nice discussion on who was the recipient of the Castillo Award . My only regret is that I do not have a decent photo of her Booth this year.

The Cos-Players this year brought a whole new game to the show the Attendees were all  intertwined with the Cos-players mingling with each other and posing for photos and then there was Pikachu 20181027_124107

And the Fairy Grandmother or cousin or Aunt or whatever , Who could not grant my wish for the winning lotto numbers as that was not Her department 20181028_133248

As for the other TheBackyardgeek it is up to Her to add her own feelings on how this years show turned out .

Thank you for now Perry

Central Canada Comic Con 2017

Ok so just a little bit late as due to time management skills starting to Suck big time. And well it was A nice clamer but not without its negative moments . But due to a Non Disclosure Agreement I will say  , That a certain web site that bashed us was totally with the ability to tell time . This was to my Knowledge the only Major discrepancy between Guest Vendors and Celebrities .

The complete Open environment has helped with traffic flow patterns being greatly used and they were a success. As Usual I very rarely have time to Meet with and have time amongst the Celebrities  , but with some luck this year I snuck in a John Rhys Davies shootJohn Rhys Davis 2017 Now the way this Artist gets you to join in for a Photo-op is just brilliant . He was totally enthralled with the previous person in the photo op line and they’re Robot . but like other people I have met he is quite tall a man .

Next up is Jim Beaver , long time Actor and a person who was more excited to be at a con then 1/4 of this years  Congoers . while upon arrival to the Photo-Op booth I do believe he had a skip in his step rare again to see considering his stature in the Artist field . Jim Beaver 2017

We have many more photos to share and stories to TRY to tell

6 days to go andddddd? I ramble on

Whovian

Well years ago in School we were as children forced to create Diorama’s and have a little presentation about them.  This isn’t the one.

this month who

The one I did was about weird science experiments and special effect’s use in the movie industry.  My elements of interest were all over the place from the hypnotic spinner used to convince you in the beginning of a late night Rod Serling show. Various Illusion effects and some Foley art tricks . well needless to say I effing Bombed on that one.  They did not define the limits of our Theme so I went so far outside the box , I had to visit a Catholic school Guidance Councillor, or as commonly know as Father Mac Anany   ..

Luckily He was a big science geek also , So instead of the usual Catholic form of discipline he told me to try getting into  Oratorical contest’s like the Toastmaster held, This one was in separate age levels, My self I was 11 and in grade 8 so They(my parents and the Priest) signed me up . No one told me that the topic was handed to you half hour before you were to make a 4 minute speech. Well I got ” Should a Priest have a second Vocation”. I nailed it because I heard of the monks making cheese in Oka in grade 6 so I totally plagiarized that class, nailed it got a Silver dollar for the win, and now that silver dollar happens to be worth a few bucks, So kinda a win win.

Was supposed to represent the School in the provincials that year but was informed by my parents that we had to Move Again, which suck’s dogs balls always moving.  Moved on to Kitimat bc arrived at the new high school one age level to low to start high school although I was excepted at Notre Dame in Welland to start at 12 years old. So having to redo Grade 8 in Bc was a breeze, knocked off the compulsorily and challenged the Grade 9 got it for the second semester.

May i add at this time in my life I was still about 4′ 3″ tall not quite the tallest weed in the garden but here I was. This is the point in time when I met my first friend in the new school, Peter Runions He was extremely nice to introduce me to the town although I had been there for about 4 months already. The Second person I made friends with was Paula Hazlett we met at the Park in Kildala when she was interested in Peter.

So to put this in perspective I’am short but can talk my way out of anything. Then the 6 inch summer had kicked in. By the beginning of 1978 semester I was now 5 feet tall woo hoo not the shortest person in School but still mistaken for a 8th grader. that year the Initiation was weird I was in half 200 and 300 courses. Of course if you cannot tell my English skill’s were lousy I could not put together a sentence  structure if my frigging life depended on it . But I could write and make a speech to beat anyone .

So in grade 9 science the diorama thing came up again so being the lazy  little person I was I once again copied myself from my Ontario work. New province who would know? Well as it turn out my teacher would because it was in my transfer papers from School. Damm almost  got away with it so I was forced to do an off subject presentation. So I went with a Popular Science project I was playing with on sound transference via vibrations through a board in the wall instead of a speaker. could only get the mid range sounds to work though as i knew nothing about Crossover sound separators.

So Now i’m 53  and a few days away from 54 and what do I do for fun now? Well Dr Who of course and now new sci-fi shows Killjoys , all Star trek and of Course STAR WARS , I mean really who hasn’t seen a Star Wars anything yet?

Then of late Comic Cons  where anyone and every one can be Who and What they feel. so next month i will rearrange the little homage to Dr Who and post a new photo. until then  Monday is my 30th wedding Anniversary and as any man know that Shit should not be Ignored .

comic-con-2016-poster20161003_13371739

So I have picked up this years posters for the C4 Winnipeg   at  The RBC  Convention Center . I have been posting in my region of Steinbach Mb and Belmont Mb and some will be in Killarney Mb by tomorrow .

Personally I will be waiting for the Q&A with William Shatner on Friday Oct 28th at 5:30PM in the Theatre and also Debi Derryberry  Saturday 29th at 11:00AM,  then finally                John Rhys-Davies  at Sunday the 30th at 12:00PM

For thebackyardgeeks.com this will be our (as a family ) the 15th Winnipeg show we will be attending . As per the previous years I will be doing some Volunteering  at the show the rest of my time will be shopping and Interfacing  and Interacting with the many attendee’s at the show.  It is for me a time to meet up with many people I have met over the years, some of them coming in from as far away as England to attend the show.  one year we met a couple that have factored in – in their vacation time to attend they were from Australia .

So this show has been seen and Attended by people “FANS” from three points around this great world, If only they would have a registry for the Visitors from around the World  that would be most interesting to see the far reach the leadership of C4 has touched the planet .
