Art o con!!

 Ok enough screwing around. I need to catch up on my blogging. I admit i have been lazy. I come home from my job,usually with a headache and i crash on the couch. Well because of this i have neglected my blog. Weve had some positive things happen to us and i'd like to share it with anyone still following the blog. We have now covered four major events with We Got The Geek. You already know about our awesome Free Comic Book day at Pulp Comics. The next event actually occurred the next day in Burlington at a new  con called art o con.

 So we were invited by our good friend artist extraordinaire John Bulmer to share a table with him at this event.Its been in existence for two years now and its a show case for artists and their work. The lady that organized the event was named Lara Aiken and we had done an interview with her a few weeks earlier that proved to be really popular. She was awesome and the event she put on was great.

 We were seated by the Doctor Who society of Canada. They had built life size replicas of the Daleks--the evil robots from Dr  Who. The robots moved and talked and they were really cool. We got some fantastic interviews as well. We got to interview a group of cos players called the Xmen of Toronto. They dress like characters from the Xmen and do a lot of charity work. Very nice group. We also spoke with a great artist from studio comikx named Alfonso. Great guy, We also got to speak with someone we had interviewed on the old show--Lisa from Nerd Biskit. She makes fantastic crafts and she has been a great friend to us.

  It was an awesome day and one of the best shows we have attended. We were thankful for being asked to attend. We were already told we would be asked back  for next year, Can't wait.
