Generally this would be spamming but I'll leave it here since it's relevant to NYC. If someone wants it locked, let me know

 

Can we at least have a public caning? What about 20 lashes with a wet noodle? lol

 

You first

hehehe

 

Is this con worth heading down from Rochester, NY for? Have any of you folks down there been to one of these before? This is the first time I've heard of it and was curious especially with the SW guests. Thanks!

Check the MEPA invasion thread Nicky. I don't wanna talk about it on this thread.

 

This "convention" is worth going if you want to meet the celebs and if you are interested in paying scalper rates for collectables and comic books.

There are very few costumed people and next to no activities.

The main reason it is worth it is because many MEPA members will be there and we will make it FUN

The above is only my opinion

 

I'll be there!

*waits for everyones shocked faces for the fact that Sam is going to an event*

 

How's that?

 

I might actually make the 19th date. Depends on if I actually get another day off that week.

 

Hello New Yorkers. I would like to make it known to you that two members of the New Haven county, Connecticut Fan Force will be at the show. Perhaps meeting up? We are still a fledgling FF so it'll just be me and my friend TJ who is known here as BlueMilkRunner.

 

Excellent! That means Tim & I won't be the only foreigners there.

 

How will we all find eachother?

 

I'll be wearing this

You and how many other people?


I'll have my custom made Darth Vader black T-shirt that says, "You don't know the power of the darkside." I created it, and no one else should have one. My friend will be wearing a shirt with Chewbacca on it, also custom made, that reads, "Have you hugged your wookie today?" I will also be wearing a blue Star Wars hat.

Heres a pic of me for further reference. I'm on the far right.

Me

 

Please, Joe, we have to put an end to that!

 

OMG Joe I need to pour Clorox in my eyes now...ROFL

 

Admit it Meri, you think I'm hot! lol

 

That's HAWT...especially that wig...so suave.

 

Thankee! Chicks dig a guy who's not afraid of showing his feminine side. LOL!

If I was "throwing the horns" in the pic, you wouldn't be able to handle yourself.

See, because I'm cool yet I'm hot. I'm both. I'm....

HOOL!
