Hey thanks Scott!

I gave you a pm the day before- but I guess you were at Trenches.

Funny thing- when I introduced myself to The Rocketeer, he said "I'm Scott". I didn't know if you were going or not- so for a half second I thought it was you messing with me.

So then I had this funny look on my face, and to explain myself I told him that a freind of mine might be here today who's name is also Scott. He comes back and says- "Well I could be your friend Scott and just be pretending I'm not."

If you talk to Brian- tell him his Lobo was great!

Dude, I watched Grayson about five times yesterday... I can't wait to see you bouncing off the walls in your costume!

Grayson made it out to a small comic convention in Toronto on Sunday (where admission was free with a costume). Scored a few pics:

David (aka DAVIDYR1- a professional prop and costume maker) and I.

The only Batman there!

Liana K (from the "Ed The Sock" show) as Power Girl.

Girl at the booth beside David's. She looked 15 years old until David told me she's 20.

(Did I mention it's good to be Robin )

Someone who said Robin sucks.

And a decent Baroness.

Actually that was pretty much 90% of all the people in costume there!

One thing I will be watching for- I was interviewed for the Savage Bandito Show on You Tube. I stayed in character the whole time, even telling off Superman at one point. He told me it would be up on the site in a month or so.

The only bargain-basement Batman there?

Kevin, your muscle suit looks better than Batman's did. I'm sure your wife says much the same thing.

Russ

Yeah.

Out of maybe 100-200 people in attendance, only 20 or so were dressed in costumes. Needless to say this got me a lot of attention (no arguments here though ).



Suit?

I know what you meant Russ.

Believe it or not- Nancy thinks I've lost too much weight (I'm down to 150lbs) and that I look "too skinny" in my waistline.

To hell with that! This is the best I've looked in over ten years!

Thanks again everyone!

I'll say!!!

Thanks Chris! I'll give you a manly handshake at D-Con.

I find that just as some actors become so embedded in a role that they become the character they play, I'm beginning to believe I have become Grayson.

I didn't mind driving in the suit when I went out for Free Comic Book Day and this convention (got quite the looks from other drivers though). And sometimes I put the costume on just to wear around the house. Once I forgot that I was still wearing it when I took out the garbage.

Sometimes I drive around downtown at night in it. I stay in the car the whole time though. Part of me wants to see what would happen if I got out and walked around. It would be really interesting to see what kind of reactions I would get!




I'll let you decide for yourselves if I'm kidding or not.

God, I hope not.

Everytime, which is a lot of times, I wear any Punisher skull t-shirt I wonder if that day will be the day I have to go all vigilante on someone. The superhero psyche, it's a strange sickness and societal salvation. Oooooo deep;)
