Abaddon from Supernatural

This Halloween I went as the demon knight Abaddon from Supernatural. I don't have quite as amazing hair as she does, so I had to fudge that element by just wearing my extensions. Also, the liquid latex I used the first time gave me a rash, so the neck wound was just painted on.

This is Abaddon

This is me

Steel City Con!

Hey, new goal! Help us get to Steel City Con! It's only $15 to get in, but buying gas and paying for the hotel room may bankrupt us.

The hotel's special rate ends tomorrow, the 17th! We also may take Barbara's granddaughter, Asha, with us, so...don't you want a little girl to have a good time?

Traveling David Tennant

So, I'm going on vacation next week. To generate some publicity for Barbara and I, I'm going to travel around town with my David Tennant cut-out and take some pictures. Hopefully I don't get in trouble anywhere. I may make up some business-type cards with the blog address on them if people ask questions.

Sci Con Valley...in Altoona!

So, Barbara and I got to go to a mini-con of sorts here in Altoona. Here are a few pics I managed to get and at the bottom are pictures of the goodies I picked up from vendors. I also got to go to a panel about self-publishing which was very informative.
