It was a blast last year, and very tempting to do again this year, but I will pass this year. I already have a dozen other trips lined up before then, so I don't think it would be possible.

I'll get my full of retro goodness at Fanboy Expo in Knoxville TN at the end of this month. They have some fun guests lined up including Gene Simmons, Ralph Machio, Lou Ferrigno, C. Thomas Howell, William Zabka (sweep the leg!), Brent Spiner, Loni Anderson, Kevin Sorbo, the cast of CHiPs, Amy Jo Johnson, Jason David Frank, Tony Dow (Wally), Jonathon Ke Quan, Sting, Lita, Scott Steiner, Jim Duggan, Alan Oppenheimer, George Lowe (voice of Space Ghost), Melendy Britt (voice of She-Ra), and a G.I. Joe cartoon voices cast reunion! It's quite the retro lineup.

Holy crap! That is an amazing lineup of guests Mick! I wish it was further out in the future at a time when I'm not just opening up a new business. I'll be expecting pictures of course.

Last year was amazing. I had the best time. I will definitely look into transport. From MN it will have to be a flight, but I've been working like crazy, so it may not be out of the question. Although my daughter did just get braces. Kids these days. With their braces and need for clothes and food and junk..

Kids can never have enough "junk"... that's for sure.

Make sure she wears her retainers when she's finally finished with them. My teeth shifted after having my braces on for nearly three years thanks to that.

I too had braces for 3 years. But I simply would not wear my retainer. I was done with mouth appliances when the braces came off and wanted nothing to do with a retainer. I think retainers might actually be worse than braces. They are bulky, annoying, and make your mouth fill up with saliva. I "lost" mine during a family vacation.

Re: Retainers

Just like last year my family and I are going to be moving to a new home just before RetroCon, but I really hope I can make it work to join you all again. Especially since I'll finally have my own "Retro Room" in this new place to put my collections on display.

Are you staying in Arizona?

Hoju got a great Father's Day gift. A trip to RetroCon! Nice.

I'm officially going to Retrocon, I figured out my way there. Can't wait to see everyone again.
