Saturday Fun

Kiri was able to convince me to leave my warm bed on this rainy morning and join her in this line-up for the Icebreaker sample sale.  However, we did come away with a few bargains.  ;-)
After our little shopping spree, we witnessed a father & son bonding moment at...
 
Joe Fortes (where we had brunch)!  :-)
On the way back to our cars, we stopped by FCUK to see Roxy and Anastasia!
In the late afternoon, I had a bitch of time trying to find Toy Traders!  I eventually realized they moved to a bigger and better location not too far from their original spot.
I've always loved their display cases!
Eventually, I made my way over to Chuck E. Cheese's for Marie's birthday!
The girls were having fun here!
Including Todd!  Hehe...
Break out the cake!
Happy Birthday Marie!!!  :-)
My last stop of the night was at Rory and Rhiannon's place for some board game action.
Low and behold, a couple of the guys were playing Star Wars: X-Wing!
Alicia and Tiffany were here this time...
along with Shannon and the boys.
Ohhh, this is one of my favourites...
7 Wonders!
Then the girls and I tried Suspend to end their night.
When most of the meeples left, I took over Ed's spot on Pandemic and we cruised to success!

Big thanks to Rory & Rhiannon for hosting again!!!  :-)
Awww, look!  My cousin took his son to get his passport photo today.  He's an official Austrian!  :-)

The weather was pretty shitty today.  :-(

I (JR Talent) was working with my brother from another mother, Alex (Local Color)!
One of my favourites, Yuko (Showbiz Management) was here too!
And oh my goodness, it's Suzanne (Local Color)!  It was so good to see her because I (JR Talent) haven't worked with this beauty in years!  :-)

Fan Expo 2014

I went over to the Vancouver Convention Centre this morning to meet...
Mitchell!
He texted me the day before to see if I was going to the Fan Expo.  I've never attended one, so I thought, "Sure!  Why not?"
There were Ghostbusters!
I freed R2-D2 by removing his restraining bolt.
See?  Now, he was able to hang-out with Mitchell.
Hmmm, a blaster or a lightsaber?
This event has grown so much in the past few years!
This was the artists section.

"I'm sending my apprentice Darth Maul to join you."
Now, I'm the Master Chief!  
Toy Traders from Langley had the largest and most impressive display amongst all the merchants!
Not only is Brady Roberts a fitness trainer at the Steve Nash Sports Club, he also moonlights as Nightwing!  Check out his webseries here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxsG1ikKgas
Mitch and I were hungry, so we went across to Cactus Club for a bite to eat.
Ha, we bumped into Broadus here!
After our lunch, we went back to watch Bruce Campbell!
This guy just bleeds charisma.  ;-)
We finally got a photo with the Star Wars peeps!
Oh shit, it's Storm Shadow!
I also spotted the Night's Watch!
I don't know who these girls were supposed to be,
but I preferred the view from behind way more!  ;-)
Oh, here's Artoo again!
This Playboy Bunny was super hot!
Look at this, it's Princess Mononoke and Fatty!  He's always been a fan of that movie.
It's a Velociraptor!
Again, I don't who this girl is supposed to be, but I had to get a photo with her.  Hehe...
Ohhh, the Street Judges!

This event was fun, so I'll probably attend next year as well!  :-)
The CRAFT Beer Market...  Don't even bother going to this place if you have a large dinner party or else you'll just get the runaround with their "no can do" seating policy!  
Poor Melody and I arrived 90 minutes early to try and snag seats, but they just wouldn't allow it!  She even tried making a reservation for the 10 of us, days in advance and they never even replied!
So we just adapted and moved our group over to the Tap & Barrel instead.  ;-)
Martina and Jody.
Todd and Christine.
Science Officer Jody and Security Officer Edwin.  ;-)
We had a good group tonight and a better view of False Creek from here!
Big thanks to Melody for organizing this event!!!  :-)
