Hey, gang- back for more of my trip to NYC. Last blog post was about Watchmen. This time it’s about Ghostbusters and the New York Public Library. I’ll be doing several Ghostbusters filming locations blog posts, so here’s the first of those.

If you’re a Ghostbusters fan (aka “ghosthead”) like myself, you probably remember the library’s exterior and iconic lion statues from the opening shots at the beginning of that 1984 movie.

Unfortunately when my wife Nicki and I stopped by last October we didn’t get to see them. ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Flashback Friday- Memphis Comic Expo 2018: DonnieCon ROCKS!

My last HGWT blog post was a Flashback Friday on the Delta Fan Fest, so I thought I’d do this one on another backyard con I hadn’t posted about- the Memphis Comic Expo, AKA “DonnieCon” or “MCX“. The latest Memphis Comic Expo was held on October 20 & 21, 2018 at the Agricenter International out in east Memphis, TN. Saturday the show was open from 10:00 am-6:00 pm, and on Sunday from 10:00 am-5:00 pm. Admission at the door was $25 for a one day adult ticket, $35 for a two day adult + gaming priority admission, and ages 12 and under were FREE!

I’ve been set up as a guest artist at all of the past 5 DonnieCons, and all but one (which was downtown at the Memphis Convention Center) have been at the AgCenter. This year I was back in Artists Alley across the main aisle from where I was set up last year and the year before, and just up from where I was at the first MCX. ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

I noticed I had started a draft but hadn’t posted about some of the conventions I had attended around town last year- or even some from the year before, so I figured a Flashback Friday would be a good way to catch up. The Delta Fan Fest was September 17 & 18, 2016 at the Landers Center in Southaven, MS.

Guests included actors Dean Cain (“Lois and Clark”), Katrina Law (“Arrow”), Walter Jones (“Power Rangers”), voice actress Trina Nishimura, and artists Tom Nguyen and Jeremy Clark (there was also an actress from The Walking Dead  I’m not familiar with and a couple other guests I can’t find their info now.) ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

“Bustin’ Makes Me Feel Good!” – Pt2: DeSoto County Ghostbusters

A couple blog entries ago I talked about the Memphis Ghostbusters. This time I’m going to talk about another local Ghostbusters franchise in the area I’ve become associated with, the DeSoto County Ghostbusters.

I got to first meet them at the Memphis Comic Expo at the Agricenter International this year. Picked up some DCGB pins from them, and gave them some of my MemGB stickers. Jack Johnson, owner of their Ecto-17, gave me a tour of the car. He said they had a lot of work to do to it still, but it looked pretty sweet- even up close. ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
