Thanks again to John Todd and Fox13 for getting to meet Billy Dee Williams.

I hate we didn't induct Michael Sheard at one of the MSCs.

I think he would have gotten a big kick out of it- especially if we had toasted his induction into the group.

 

What, the induction ceremony doesn't involve mudwrestling at midnight in the light of a full moon?

Where's the Colt 45 for BDW?

And Michael Sheard would have been your friend for life if you'd given him as much as a shot glass of whiskey!

 

I miss Michael, he was a hoot.

 

There was a guy who worked at the station who brought an empty bottle of Colt 45 for Billy Dee to sign.

Michael was a lot of fun. Seems weird not to see him here for MSC.

I don't think the folks at Malco liked the "Supporter of the Digital Rebellion" thing very much, but that's their problem! Hard to believe that was four years ago!

 

Thanks again to everybody for a great show -- my kids were thrilled with the gifts. (Actually, my daughter doesn't know what to think of Gryph. But he'll grow on her.)

A few of my pics (and a couple of Lin's) -- can be found here.

Thanks again, everyone!

 

Dude, that is awesome!!!
