Wow, was THAT a wild ride or what?
It was only my second year going, but it was fantastic for making contacts and new friends!
I'd like to give a shout-out to all the cool cats I got a chance to hang with, including the incredibly talented and "bitter"
(be salty, not bitter, man
), Ross's #1 Ultrafan: Hector, the rockin' duo of
and
, and another sweet double-feature:
and
. Bryan J.L. Glass was kickin' ass at the Image booth with Mice Templar, while Dwayne McDuffie, Charlotte Fullerton, Eugene Son, Matt Wayne, and Tom Kenny were incredibly cool cats all-around, inviting me to the greatest parties in the land! All of you guys rock, and it was great seeing you again! ^_^
Holy Shnikes, though. Completely by accident, I stumbled onto the awesome mega-stars of my childhood, Walter Jones (Zack, the original Black Ranger) and Karan Ashley (Aisha, the second Yellow Ranger)! I was overjoyed to have a chance to chat with the both of them and get their autographs. Both were some of the coolest people you could hope to meet, and my head still spins a little thinking about it. As a side note, besides hairstyle changes, neither Walter nor Karan have really aged at all since MMPR. O_O It's uncanny!
They're great peoples, so if you get a chance, see them at Power Morphicon in Pasadena, California this summer! It's August 27-29 at the Pasadena Convention Center: [link]
Special thanks go to
and
for opening up their home to me on Sunday night.
It was great to meet
, too, and Sunday night was one of the best times I had the entire con.
On top of all this awesome, I made a LOT of excellent contacts and nearly ran out of my stock of business cards! The rest of the year is going to be VERY interesting...
Cheers to everyone!
