The End of the Octobercountry

Greetings,

We have a lot going on in the next couple of weeks, and they are indeed exciting times.  

In just a couple days time myself, John, Jere, Julie, and Jonny will be heading south to Providence for the Rhode Island Comic Con.  Plans that were started in February are finally going to coming together for a grand time indeed.  We will be staying for two nights leaving Friday, Halloween, for the drive south.  The actual con is Saturday and Sunday, the hotel we are staying at is attached to the convention center so we don’t even have to drive to it or deal with parking or anything of that nature.

Friday night is the Halloween Party, Saturday Night is an After party, Saturday and Sunday is filled with walking around the show floor, meeting people, getting photos with and autographs from celebrities of all mediums.  There will be merchandise galore and some wicked cool cosplay.  It’s going to be pretty awesome.  Also Jay is going to meet and spend the day with us on Saturday.

I’m not going to have as much money as I would have liked so my spending on photos and autographs is going to be very selective.  There is going to be a bunch of wrestlers there, but the one I’m looking forward to the most would be Brian O’Halloran who played Dante on the hit film Clerks. 

There are a bunch of panels on Saturday and SundayOn Saturday I’d really like to hit “So you Want to be a voice actor”, “Star Trek Continues”, and Costume Contest. Sunday it’s “TV’s Comic Book Crimefighters” Q&A With George Takei, and “The Secrets of Warehouse 13”.  I don’t know if I’ll make them all but I’m going to try.  I’m surprised there is no wrestling themed panel as there are so many great wrestlers there. 

Also there are gaming tournaments and a bunch of vehicles there from different movies and tv shows like the General Lee from Dukes of Hazard, the Bat Cycle from the 1960’s Batman and more.  Also the RKO Army is going to be doing two live stage productions, Saturday is the Rocky Horror Picture Show and Sunday is REPO! The Genetic Opera.  All the panels and the musicals and free with your admission, you just have to be willing to wait in line as seating is first come, first serve.

If the Halloween party is not my thing on Friday night then I’m sure the Saturday Night after Party will be lame as well.  Luckily there is a wrestling show 20 minutes away that I just may zip over too. 

When I get back thought it's no rest for the weary.  I have one work day and then we sign the lease on the home we are renting and we have to move it.  It'll be a busy long day for sure but Wednesday November 5th we will be our first night in the new place on Oak St in Gardiner.

The Wednesday after that will be a truly exciting day as we hope to find out the sex of baby labbe.

That's all for this week

Later Readers!

The Mustard Blog



A few weeks back I did the Ketchup blog because I hadn’t blogged all my excitement in a long time and I find myself in the same scenario.  So I bring to you, the mustard blog.


What’s been going on ask, quite a bit actually and most of it work related. 

I powered through my training and am now on own shift, which is predominantly a midnight shift.  I have the two week schedule that rotates giving me every other weekend off.  I have four 12 hours shifts that run 7pm – 7am and three 8 hours shifts, one 3pm – 11pm and the rest 11pm – 7am.  It’s not that bad, it just takes some getting used to, 

Kate and I took the kids to Jokers for a fun filled Sunday of the Amazing Maze, ticket games, train rides and more!  











The kids were good while we were there, but then a bit of a melt down occurred when it came time to leave.

Kate and I had a day to ourselves and it lead us to Land’s End on Bailey Island




We then hit the Brunswick Flea Market where I scored some neat stuff. A trip to Lisbon for some Sausage and Moxie Ice Cream was almost ruined as he was out of Ice Cream and the Sausage Kitchen was closed.  What saved it you asked? 
Hogan’s Good Times Lanes of course!!




I took the kids to the Gardiner Main Street Halloween celebration that featured Trick or Treating at the local business and a dance number on the street to The Nightmare Before Christmas. 









The kids had fun and got quite the haul of candy!
