Earlier in September we had a table set up at the Canadian Toycon in Burlington. It was our 5th event since we set up shop with the new show last February. To compare we did 4 tables in the whole 3 year history of the last show. Anytime i gotta tell ya,what a great even the toy show turned out to be. It was so well organized. We really had a great time. So let me tell ya about the highlights of the day.
There were actually a couple of celebrities there from the show the Big Bang Theory. John Ross Bowie who plays Barry Kripke and Ian Scott Rudolph who plays Captain Sweatpants. They were the friendlies celebrities we ever spoke with and they actually came to our table to be interviewed!! It was the first time this has happened. We had introduced ourselves earlier in the day and chatted about the show and then they came over. They were so nice and funny. They posed for pics and they gave free autographed photos. So cool!! The interviews turned out great.
The other highlight? My buddy Colin and his family came out. First time i had seen him since July 1st when we re established our friendship. So i got to hang out and play catch up and it was great. I was in such a great mood!!
We really hope we made an impression on the people running the toy show. They put on 5 different cons a year and we'd love to get involved with more events. Definitely one of the best events we've been a part of. Oh and did my first cos play ever as well. A half assed Clark Kent with Superman t shirt underneath. So below are pics. First pic is Captain Sweatpants and the second one is Barry Kripe.
