Screamfest 2005!!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hey guys,
Well, my wife and I got back from SF in Florida last night. We drove there from Toronto. Had a great time, considering it was my first con as a dealer. Met a lot of great people, and made some new friends. Sold some stuff too, including 3 of my EOS \'81 masks. One of the 3 was sold to Corey Feldman! He tried on the mask, and had his wife take a pic of it. He\'s gonna send me the pic, which I\'ll post when I get it. He was a pretty cool guy. He gave me a couple of 8X10\'s from "Stand By Me", and "F13th 4".
The highlight of the weekend, though, was spending time with our good friends, Dick and Cathy Warlock. We went to "The Olive Garden" Sunday night after the con had ended, where we had a great dinner, and a lot of laughs. We then went back to the hotel, and sat in the lobby and shot the breeze for a bit. We were invited to stop in at their place on our way home for a couple of days, but painfully had to decline because of the fact that my in-laws were exhausted from watching our little monsters, and we needed to pick them up. We plan on visiting them soon, though.
All in all, an unforgettable time was had, and we look forward to the next opportunity to get away. The next time, though, I\'m bringing my 2 little monsters, as I missed them BIG TIME.
