An Anniversary I Wish That Wasn't

20 years and it still hurts...

Wizard World Toronto

Back at the end of March (yes, I know, I'm an incredibly slow blogger) Wizard magazine held their first Canadian convention - Wizard World Toronto.

So two of my best friends and I broke out our B.P.R.D costumes so we could paint the town, err Red ;)

We had a fantastic time, thanks to great company, great guests (including one Mr. Doug Jones, but more on that in a sec) and we were very fortunate to run into some very talented folks who were all nice enough to take the following very cool pics of us.

In fact that first pic was taken by Viewpoints of Elemental-Photography.Net who shot a whole string of great photos for us.
You can visit her full gallery with all her Wizard World Toronto: B.P.R.D pics HERE.

(And in case you are wondering about some of the more umm ... interesting ... shots with Abe and Kroenen, those were done as a very special parody comic for Kim and Rebecca, the creators of the webcomic Abe & Kroenen, because not only is the comic brilliant and hilarious but they both happen to be two very nice people who we wanted to make laugh - payback ladies!)

Oh and at one point we ran into this tall, skinny fellow who really liked giving hugs and for some reason really liked our costumes a lot ... ;)

Just kidding - to be honest the entire reason we dug out all the B.P.R.D gear was because we knew Doug would be in attendance. And although I have gotten to show Doug parts of my Abe costume before (like at the Hellebration) I'd never had the chance to show him the whole thing. But I've already promised the full story to Helen over at The Doug Jones Experience so for more details you'll just have to wait ;)
