The discussion of the Alien series of films and the props used in them is the aim, but if it's got Big Bugs and Big Guns, then they are welcome too!

You know Av if things continue this way you may be able to carry Valerie the whole way without passing out by about 2020. Your determination is insane...INSANE!!!
Makes you one of a kind my friend..wouldn't have it any other way.

Hey, I've hauled Val though the parade for 4 years, and I haven't once passed out. Nearly died twice, but never actually passed out.

A delayed train, then the urgent need of assistance for a family friend, then a blown starter in my truck leading to an hour long tow to my place... but I`m home safe typing this from my laptop next to my bed.

Sometime in the near future I will regain coherency - but for now it`s time for sleep, thanks all for a great time :)

PVB down and clear at home in chilly Rochester. :)

Will post more later, but would just like to say that I wish my health had held up better from day one. :oops: :cry:

Best part was dinner on Saturday night at the Hard Rock Cafe with Lance Henriksen, Joe Maddrey (co-author of Lance's book Not Bad For A Human), Lance's daughter Alex and her boyfriend Austin. :D :shock: 8)

Myself, Rob and Lottie touched down in Maryland at 2145 last night, safe and sound. I cannot speak for them, but while I am glad to be home, I already miss my USCM and xeno family members. It's you lads and ladies that make D*C feel so special.

Atlanta has been swept clean it appears.

I hear rumor of a Munkey running around south of the City, but surely that's just rumor.. :-D


Julie and I had a blast with the old friends and making new ones.

Her cherries and I look forward to seeing you bastards next year.

Alexander came off better than I could have ever hoped for or expected.
Thanks guys & Gals!

The Frenchman is at his second home in the Bay Area, tired but happy. Best D-Con so far, and while I'm sad it's over and I miss you all already, it's made more bearable by seeing my second family again. :)

Of course, that means double hard crash once I go home for real, but that's in a good while, so no worries.

You folks were awesome. I cannot express how much fun it is to be around y'all and thousands of other like-minded nutters. It's an inspiration to me that such good and smart people can be perfectly 'normal' for most of the year, and totally wild for a weekend. Gives me hope for mankind. :mrgreen:

Down and clear.
Arrived home 6pm DST Wednesday.
Still shattered. Entire suitcase of con clothes already cleaned and dried. BDUs ready for NSC.

What an awesome CON that was. I spent so much time mingling and visiting panels I hardly saw anyone from the UK or USCM all con!
