George Takei: A Conversation.

There is something to be said about the addage “Ask and ye shall receive”.

That’s exactly what happened just prior to the Calgary Comicon. I saw on the website that legend George Takei, Lieutenant Sulu on the original Star Trek, was going to be in attendance. The thought crossed my mind, how cool would it be if Chuck Storm interviewed this TV deity? I quickly found George’s official website and shot off an email requesting an interview. Of course I belived there would be no chance in hell that I would hear back, but it was worth a shot.

Ask, and ye shall receive…Enjoy!

Live long and prosper…

FuddyTV at the Calgary Comic & Entertainment Expo!

We got a booth!

Calgary Comic Entertainment Expo

April 26th and 27th, 2008 we’ll be at the Calgary Comic & Entertainment Expo grinding up some support for FuddyTV and hawking some stuff to sell and so on. This was originally Erik’s idea, thinking it would garner some good exposure and get us some experience in the world of conventions and selling FuddyTV, but I wasn’t sure if we’d actually be able to do it. Well we did! Now we have to find some things that will get attendees attention and make our mark on the show…My first thought —> Dress up as Boris. Why the heck not!? Years ago my shyness went out the door so this would be a great opportunity to show the world all we can do at FuddyTV.

We just have to learn how to do it.

I’ve never been a part of any convention except for the one time I modeled for Schick Razors as a fireman in pink suspenders, but other than that I’ve never been to one, nor would I know how to run one. Perhaps that is a good thing however, we can go to the convention with a clear mind and a fresh idea. While there will be others at the convention who have been to many, if not all, we’ll go in there boots strapped on, ready for anything that comes at us.

I was looking the the Calgary Comicon website and there is quite the lineup of people who will be attending. I believe my favorite will be George Takei…what convention is complete without a Star Trek character? I thought so…

We’ll have more updates as soon as they come rolling in, but in the meantime be sure to check out the Calgary Comicon and come see us at our booth!
