If you'd like a little history on his selling and trimming of these Disney premiums, it's all right here.

It was an interesting day with Kraven keeping me company at work. The day was good, but not without some theatrics and antics from Kraven. I had no idea such a small purse, er, um, Valise handbag could store so many weapons. I'm at home ready to hit the hay and will have some pics of Kraven tomorrow. I probably should have had Kraven screened a bit more thoroughly before hitting the streets with him. More to come...

Kraven did most of, if not all the talking. I just played patient host and could tell this visit was going to be a looooonnnnnng one. Kraven became animated in telling me about the adventures he'd had with other boardies, and some of the crazy things he'd seen. I blushed at the thought of Kraven revealing some of those embarrassing stories about some boardies...not that anyone on the boards would be surprised. Kraven and I, well, when i could get a word in, talked for the rest of the evening. Before I knew it, it was time to hit the sack because I had to work in the morning. I did call a supervisor at the office and asked if Kraven could go out for a ride along with me. Kraven would have to sign the usual papers for liability and seemed to be pretty excited about rolling out with me in the morning...

I offered Kraven some tea, which he gladly accepted. Kraven said he needed a break from all the beer he'd been drinking in Springfield, quickly glossing over a bit of weight gain. I assured Kraven we'd be hitting the gym soon because I had definitely been on the upswing where numbers on the scale were concerned. We sat in the kitchen and I gave Kraven a moment to settle in.

Not one to be a poor host, I invited Kraven in and offered to help with his bags. My wife, also not a poor host, invited Kraven into our home and asked about the shiny purse he was carrying. "Oh, did you find someone's purse," she asked. Kraven, who looked offended for a brief moment, scoffed, "What? No. It's a Valise!" I took Kraven's slightly crabby response as his just being tired from all the traveling he'd been doing. Kraven carried his own stuff in and told me to expect a shipment of some of his other belongings.

It was early this morning when I heard a thunderous pounding on my door. I rarely get the opportunity to sleep in and was tempted to ignore the knocking, as I wasn't expecting anyone. Jehova's witnesses? Magazine peddlers? Scouts selling cookies? Thin mints were sounding good, but not good enough to get out of bed. Boom! Boom! No, this was a confident knocking, not that of some schlepper. I knew it wasn't greggy coming to visit, surely he'd have tripped coming up the steps of the porch. Intrigued, I slipped out of bed and fought off the temptation of returning to my slumber I opened the door and there he was; Kraven had arrived.

I drink beer, just once in a while now, Mr. Brewer

Need to take Kraven shopping for some patrol gear.

Not sure if this was mentioned - rumor was that Karl Urban was being considered.

I was way busy the last few weeks. If Kraven hasn't shipped out yet, I'd love to get him. I've got a wedding coming up, the Olympic Trials, and more that Kraven would have a blast at

You can probably add ziggydust17 - looks like another Ryan Elliott shill account.

Mike, this is kill!

One of my CIs says word on the street is there's a plot brewing to kidnap Kraven

100%Oregon hospitality.

They booked WW Indy 2015 1 month before us, same venue. 30 days before WW Indy, JM called me & asked for $100K+ to make him go away. His NYC offices forwarded to us their invoices from the venue & the hotel room blocks. We declined. They booked WW Orlando 2016 same weekend as us. From the Tampa Convention Center to the Orange County Convention Center, it is 60 minutes, portal to portal. No calls from JM this time. No demands for cash. None of that. With little effort, we burned their camps outside our basketball courts & set their ships aflame upon our beaches. They made a mistake stepping into our sight-line. Extortionist wildly_fanciful_statement. What a mope.

what PR , I know that a few different cons have had concerts, Kirby Krackle comes to mind. Adam WarRock too.... I know they've played at/in conjunction with Emerald City Comicon and the CGS con out in Philly.... maybe it's the first time it's been done at a Wizard con... but they certainly havent thought of something new here... Perception. Reality. Still an unfounded claim either way you slice it.

And don't forget about the concert addition to WW shows. Yep, WW is claiming this is the first time a concert has been done in conjunction with a con. I know one smaller show that did this last year, it just wasn't with any headliners. You think comic cons are expensive to produce, you should look into doing a concert.

People are genuinely shocked when they find out we have cougars and wild rhinos running around the outskirts of town. Funny you say that. Kraven heard there was a Rhino down at Bring recycling, so he went to check it out.

WW went too big, too fast, with too much. When you hit a sweet spot and things are going good, don't get greedy and don't try screwing others over. Pretty simple. A good friend of mine is booked for that WW cruise and he'll give me a full report.

Kraven in Springfield, Oregon? mess just got real.

Eric is a repeat buyer from my ECCC and SDCC sales threads. Always fun to have in a thread and a stellar buyer!

Michael hit my Toasty ECCC 16 thread - great buyer, pleasant to deal with! Thank you!
