The Kids

Ok, so we went to the Big Apple Con today. it was pretty fun, even though we didn't get any autographs - which is odd for us. We took the train in from town. it was pretty cold, some snow was still on the ground from last night too. Andrew brought a comic book to get autographed but the artist didn't get there by the time we left. we got there after two, and left after 4:00. First booth we stopped at was a very nice couple that sells T-shirts of Marvel Comic Characters, Andrew ended up getting a new ghost rider shirt before we left from them. We then wandered around to see what was there, and at one booth this guy had Angel vampire Smile time puppet and Spike as a smile time puppet for $60 each. He said if I got both I could have them for $50 each. These guys are beautiful btw, hand made, and the buttons on the coats and shirts work, and they have really awsome details, like the pockets on the coats are really pockets. They are also limited editions - Angel is 10,000 units and Spike was 5,000 units. They are numbered, but the boxes are upstairs and I don't want to bother to go look and get what the actual number of the guys are. So when we got them the guy said, oh you are going to get the kids. LOL, so here are the kids.
We picked up these little Batman Kubrick figures for Dave and Andrew got a spiderman figure. We walked around a bit, got to talk to some people that we've gotten to know at these shows, and ran into an old Ren Faire friend. So basically, not as thrilling as some cons, but alot of fun, some neat stuff, and some exercise.
Ok, that's all for now, have fun all.
