\nIt’s a rainy Sunday morning here, so I thought I’d wrap up a few loose ends and report some goings on around teh interwebs.  Please scroll down and read this in the confidence that I have full on bed head while I type this, it’s not pretty here:<\/span>

\nToy Show Alert! <\/u> I’m setting up next Sunday at Canadian Toycon \/<\/a><\/span> Fantasy  Gaming Expo<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span> in Burlington, Ontario. I’ll be selling copies of Rack Toys<\/a> and Megozine<\/a> (have I even mentioned that here before?) as well as a  dozen tubs of vintage toys that I have no room for. What’s cool is that my pal Monster Matt<\/a> will also be setting up  and he was responsible for this painting that was featured in Rack Toys:<\/span>

I’ll be giving out postcards of the AHI Frankenstein painting, so you can get him to sign it as well. It’s a terrific show, well worth the drive from Western NY and by all means bring the kids<\/b><\/i>, plenty for them to do, even a costume contest. If you do come, don’t be a stranger, please say hi.<\/span>

\nSomeone has started a kickstarter campaign to make a deck of playing cards based on the characters from “Freakies” cereal<\/a>. I know of people who fondly remember this breakfast treat, however growing up in Canada I didn’t hear about the stuff until the 1990s, so I’m kind of immune to the nostalgia. I am however, always an easy mark for a fun project, so go for it cereal fans!<\/span>

\nMessage from Space<\/a>, possibly my favourite of all Star Wars knock offs  is coming to DVD this April. This Japanese film stars my martial arts hero Sonny Chiba and a slightly tired looking Vic Morrow in a race to save earth from some silver faced invaders. This crazy film was a channel 29 staple and one very close to my heart.<\/span>
