    Don't forget to email me about setting up this bus ride thing.

    Since Fritz and I are presenting at Con-Version I wouldn't have any problem driving him up in my own car. If you want to help me out for gas it could save us some $$.

    Let me know on that one but through email. I'm not on the boards enough to stay current with this stuff.

    So, 2 quick questions:

    1) The armor I'm donating - will that money go to repay you or is that going somewhere else? If it's going towards repaying you, I'll for sure paint it up and hopefully bring in some decent coin. Anything to help out.

    2) Just out of curiosity, did Mark from Edmonton come through with his promised donation towards this?

    The donated armour will be auctioned off, and the money going to Charity. This year the charity is S.T.A.R.S. Thanks again for helping out with that!

    Mark did come through with his portion of the funds, although we are still working out some details.

    Okay, sounds good. We'll have to think of some other way to reimburse you amigo. Thanks for getting Jeremy squared away.

    Would it be wrong to ask for a donation for people who show up to the marathon. Or maybe raffle a set of fan edits off like we did at the one meeting.

    I realized something yesterday evening as I was getting ready for bed:

    For a brief period last night, my little white Toyota Echo became SLAVE-1.

    *SQUEE!*

    Jeremy and Maureen Bulloch have arrived in Calgary, safe and sound. After a somewhat frustrating time in Cleveland (nothing to do with the con runners there - the hotel was experiencing a major meltdown), and a much more pleasant time in Edmonton, they boarded the Red Arrow coach to Calgary.

    They had nothing but praise for the bus and were quite relieved not to have had to go through another airport! They're now settled in their suite at the hotel. They'll be joining the other guests of honor and the ConCommittee for a BBQ today, and tomorrow, we're all going on an excursion to Heritage Park for a guided tour and catered lunch.

    We have formally invited them both to join us at TruceFest, and they seemed happy to oblige. They're delightful people! I'm finally starting to get excited for the whole thing, instead of stressing over it!

    See you all Friday!

    So, there I was...having just come into the dealers room and I'm talking to the Dook boys. I turn around and there's Boba, staring right at me and giving me a friendly hello and an autographed 501 trading card. What a gentleman, Mr. Bulloch is and an honor to chat with him. That moment made the weekend and I have to thank you all for making it possible. See you at the Masquerade tonight!

    Speaking of a 501 Autographed trading card, Mr. Bulloch was kind enough to provide me with one even though I mentioned I wasn't a member of the 501st. Was there a member who couldn't make it to Conversion that would like my card? I don't feel right having it and I already had Mr. Bulloch sign a Boba Fett action figure of mine.

    Kosmic here,

    I went all out and bought his book, which looks amazing so far. Mr Bulloch was very interesting to speak with, though our conversation seemed to drift towards the Calgary weather. Go figure.
