Also, wrote a funny little bit about the fun to be had at a comic book convention. This is especially eye opening for those that have never attended. But humorous either way. Click here to laugh until you pee. That's a guarantee. From me.

And now for those pics! (Still kicking myself for not taking a picture of Lou Ferrigno...)
Lou was just to the left of the Hulk. This statue stood 10 feet tall. That's a mile to you and me, Rus.
I tried to incite a gang war with some neighboring Jedi cosplay dudes. No dice. :(
Supergirl...nice. Gave me a total smurf-on.
Kansas is called "Free State" because before slavery was abolished Missouri was a slave state and Kansas free. Many bloody battles ensued because of this. Check out some history on John Brown(yay!) and William Quantrill(boo!). This year PBS made a great documentary about the Border Wars. The hatred between the two states goes back centuries.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of Free State, Casey and yourself need to go try a few brews at Free State Brewery. They have some tasty micros.
I can't believe you didn't take a picture of Lou Ferrigno. LAME!!!
*Sigh* I know. Missed my opp.
ReplyDeleteGood stuff about the free state history. I'm playing a new video game right now called Red Dead Redemption which is set in cowboy times and reeks of awesomeness! I even watched a bit of History Channel last night. :)
