Oh, my goodness, what a weekend!

On Thursday, I went to the Canadian National Exhibition with my sister, nephews and Web Goddess. We did the usual: checked out the Superdogs show, the sand and butter sculptures (ooh, that doesn’t sound likely: I meant the sand sculptures and the butter sculptures, you know, separately), the animals in the Farm Building, etc. etc. We also ate gross food at the Food Building and Tiny Tom Donuts because some traditions are worth keeping.

Good times.

For the next three days, I attended Fan Expo Toronto as a Klingon. Yes, I am a member of the Klingon Assault Group (KAG), mostly because the people are fantastic. At the moment, all I have for a costume is a gold vest; relative to most of the other members, I felt distinctly underdressed. I spent most of my time helping out at the booth where we shot photographs of people against a green screen, behind which we projected one of several images of “authentic Klingon backgrounds.” All proceeds, as they say, went to the Kids Help Phone Line, a local charity.

Oh, and I got pictures of Gillian Anderson’s hair! It’s yellow! Nobody is going to believe it was her, but…it was!

More good times.

I suppose I should have been busy at my computer promoting my book on Inkshares. But, as I have said before, this is my life. Sometimes, you just need to kick back and be part of a Klingon march through the Convention Centre!
