Con!!!!!

   It's that time of year again. This weekend, my wife and I will be Saskatoon bound for the annual Comic and Entertainment Expo. It's become one of the "must do" things on our yearly list. It's also a great chance for us to knock off some Christmas shopping, since the vast majority of vendors don't have outlets in Saskatchewan, although they do have on-line stores. Still, we're "old school" and like to physically see what we're buying.
   The trip also gives us a chance to check out some of the "freaks and geeks" who show up in full costume. And some are elaborate. These were taken last year

   No, we don't show up in costume for several reasons, the biggest is we don't have any. We also skip the fan meet and greet with stars from movies like the Lord Of The Rings Billy Boyd (Pippin), Steven Yeun from the Walking Dead, and Star Trek's William Shattner. This year, Carrie Fisher of Star Wars fame will be at the fan-fest.
   It's not that we don't like them, it's just the fact I don't want to wait in line for upwards of an hour to have to pay for an autograph. Regardless, we'll have fun there.
   And this year, we've decided to make a weekend of the trip, since the round trip drive is about 6 hours. And since I don't do a lot of driving, I do tend to get a little tired behind the wheel.
