it was FUN

[nishka1]

Well Gang, another Comic-Con over and what a dooooosie it was!

The memories of this year’s event are already fond ones and will definitely be placed somewhere special in my scrapbook of life. Hanging out with the gang this year just reaffirms the fact that it’s not really about the plastic but the feeling that seems to be generated somehow by the people who collect it. Finding and seeking out neat new stuff to buy, sell and trade makes us all feel like kids again. We’re certainly not the biggest group of “collectors” out there, but surely there is not a more passionate, fun loving and giving group. Its really a unique and diverse cross section of people held together by a common thread, one that seems to bring out the best.

There are so many people to thank that I am afraid to list them as I fear I may leave someone out inadvertently. The only bummer about the con is that it always seems there is not enough time. Seeing so many people you know and love at one time is like a giant family reunion once a year.

Thank you everyone for making Claudia and I feel great and keeping the true spirit of FUN alive and well.

YES! The best Con EVER!!!

Yeah Mike, it's always great to see you, Claudia and the gang. We're like a big family with a 5 day reunion in San Diego every year. The first family of vinyl.

I too have often said that the friendship is why I keep collecting, the toys just brought me here. This year was probably the best time I've had out there, and I'm sure next year will be great as well. I love my "extended family!"

STEVE HOLT!

Mike, Claudia, and Nishka,

Thank you for all the "FUN" at this year's Con! I had a blast! It was both an honor and pleasure to be part of the fLaPjAcK crew. And once again, you beaned me really good at D-i-c-k's Last Resort. You must be practicing with the wiffle ball.

You are right. It's not really about the plastic toys we collect, but rather the friendships we have made with the people who collect it. It's a shame we only get to see each other only once year. Maybe we can meet up at next year's BBQ cookoff in Memphis. Or, perhaps at the Vegas Hooter's Casino. I know Ness is dying to see if Jennifer transferred there.

You guys are the best!
