Thanks to all the fans that came out to Hero Comics last Saturday for Free Comic Book Day. Here are just a few of the photos taken that day. More pictures are on the way so if you don’t see yours posted today, check back later. I have lots and lots of images to go through and I am diligently working on them.

Free Comic Book Day at Hero Comics

This is only a preview!

Wow! Free Comic Book Day was a blast this year! I just want everyone who I took pictures of to know that I am trying really hard to get your pictures up on this blog. But over 400 pictures were taken on Saturday so please have patience with me as I sort through all of them and make sure I have at least one good picture of everyone. I should have the next post with all the pictures by the end of this week. Until then, I hope you enjoy this look back at the great cosplay characters that volunteer their time to make your day more fun.

So much for reverence

Staring intently six inches away from my computer monitor did not help me see the image I was looking for in the picture. I was on the website for Coast to Coast AM when I saw an interesting link to a picture taken on Memorial Day at a cemetery in New Hampshire. As I was squinting trying to find the supposed ghost in the picture, my son Todd came into the room and ask me what I was looking at. After I told him, we both searched the picture’s black and white shadows for what could have possibly been an apparition. We never were sure if we saw anything, but with the varied shadowing of the trees, you might be able to “make up” a person.

Ghost in NH cemetary?

I told Todd it kind of reminded me of when people see the Virgin Mary in a tortilla or just recently a couple claimed that one of their Cheetos looked like Jesus. These people named their new found prize “Cheesus.” Todd huffed and thought that sounded disrespectful to our savior. I was surprised, yet kind of proud of my son’s reaction only because he never had any real formal religious upbringing and I didn’t know if he felt the deep reverence Christians have for Jesus. Somehow, I had instilled this in him without really trying. As I was patting myself on the back, Todd came back in the room and said, “Well at least they didn’t call it “‘Jeeto’!”

Wow! That was exhausting!

I have spent quite a bit of time working on one of the pages to this blog. Please take some time to check out “My Family” page as it has lots of interesting information about my two sons (and a couple of their small video projects). Thanks!

Ah Yes! It’s Halloween again!

Ugly witches, bed-sheeted ghosts, and ghoulish zombies are on the prowl again. There is a chill in the air and…wait a minute, wasn’t it in the low nineties today approaching 100 degrees by this coming weekend? It’s not Halloween? Oh! I know! There are lords and ladies, gypsies and pirates swinging swords and turkey legs. The Renaissance Festival is commencing! But of course… now that I think of it… Ren faire just ended about a month ago. Let’s see…the stormtroopers are out in force along with the X-men and Ghostbusters. It must be Comicon! No…hmmm…we already did that… or, are we going to do that? Now I know I saw Batman, Catwoman, Scarecrow, and the Joker. I guess that means it could only be one thing…

AZspidey and friends are really trying to get some mileage out of their Halloween costumes this year.

This dedicated group of over-aged trick-or-treaters spent more time getting dressed than they actually were at the gig. The spectators (young and old) seemed to have really gotten a kick out of the whole thing!

You’re looking a little blue…

I know we are all connected, but most of you that are commenting on this blog look very much alike. When I sent out notices to my friends and family that I started a Wordpress blog, I also sent them the information on how to get their adorable little faces here too. But, alas, they all ignored me so I decided I needed to do a post about gravatars.

Actually, David was the one who figured out how to put an avatar picture up first. Man! I was surprised to see his picture with his comments the first time. I looked all over the registered profile page to see where one adds a picture for their avatar, but there was nothing. Wow, I thought this guy was really magic (most of the time he is), but then found out that he had just received an email about gravatars.

What is a gravatar?

“A gravatar, or globally recognized avatar, is quite simply an image that follows you from site to site appearing beside your name when you do things.” And of course, as far as I know, this is the only way to get a picture on your comments and it is a free service. Therefore, go to http://en.gravatar.com/ and sign up. You will be able to then go to any Wordpress blog that allows pictures and see your own unique self when you post a comment.
