Fireworks, Supercon and New Mutants... Oh My!

A lot going on right now!

I have a whole lot happening right now!

Yesterday, I came down to Sebastian, Florida to stay with my Aunt and Uncle in preparation for going to the Florida Supercon in Miami on Saturday. I would have attended the Con on Friday but two of the people I want signatures from will only be there on Saturday and Sunday.

Anyway, last night for the 4th of July, we all went out on a house boat into the bay here in Sebastian to see fireworks! The captain took us out on the water within 100 yards of the firing station! You could see fireworks going off all up and down the coast. It was amazing!!

But when the fireworks by us started going off, I was astonished! I've never been that close to the actual firing of the mortars before! You could feel them shooting off, and when they blew, they were literally right above me!! I got some fantastic photos and video of them! Check out one of my shots below.

Ronnylama sent me a number of issues to get signed at the Supercon by Dave Gibbons, George Perez and Bob Layton. He also sent me a number of raw issues for me personally that I cannot possibly thank him enough for! WHAT A GUY!!!! My Fleas will never grace your doorstep, Sir!

Tomorrow I will be at the show getting both of our groups of issues signed as well as looking around and maybe getting a couple of Walking Dead cast members signatures! Should be neat! I will post another journal about the show tomorrow or Sunday.

I am getting 6 Starlogs submitted for grading, 11 comics which include some from Ronnylama, and 19 issues to be signed including 2 for double sigs, a few from Ronnylama, and my 9.8 copy of Harbinger #1, which I am considering selling to help fund an issue I want to bid on in the upcoming Heritage auction in August!

While I sit here in sunny Sebastian, a third event has just occurred.

My 11 issues of New Mutants that Surfer99 had signed for me in Arizona have entered shipped status! Unlike some of you here on the registry, I just cannot help myself but to look at what they achieved before they reach me. The results?

All 11 issues retained their 9.8 grades!!! Wahooooooo! My Annual #6 was signed by Peter David, my Annual #7 was signed by John Bogdanove, and the other 9 issues were all signed by Bret Blevins! These included all three Fall Of The Mutants issues and all three Inferno issues!

For Surfer99, I can only say one thing.

Thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouuuuuuuuuu!!!!!!

Mwaaahahahahahahaaaaaaa!

Ahem... Anyway...

I will be leaving Sebastian about 6 in the morning to get to Miami and work on these issues for Ronnylama and myself. My Fleas will be aiding me in my endeavors. If you are there and start to itch really bad, then you will know I am nearby.
