I would love to hit some mars con,

depends on how the holidays go at work.

 

We might be up for some MarsCon.

 

Bumped. I believe rooms are still available. Call now!

 

It's this weekend! Hope to see lots of FanForce peeps there!

 

well, we're kicking it up here in MarsCon. Saw Rick, Nels, and Nel's girlfriend, Tabitha. Hope to see more people!

 

It was cool to see the con and the peeps

 

Yeah, good to see ya!

We also saw Craig and his partner, Debra! On Sunday they got dressed up as a puppet dragon and did a puppet show for the kids. Wish I took some pics; I was packing up when they got rolling.

 

Here are some pics from the Con and eating at Hooters:

This year's theme was steampunk, so here is a friend of mine, Lord Ramirez, on his time machine.

FYI - The Con raised $1,525.20 for the Heritage Humane Society through auctions, the HHS table, and massage donations. The Con Chair says that 2 of the cats were adopted that weekend by a con goer.

Next Year's theme will be in honor of Arthur C. Clarke!
