Been to all four joecanuck meets and this one tops it. Good to see the usual gang of characters like Ed, Bryce, Dave, Charles, Ryan, Tina, Jason, Jon, Mike, Pete, Hal, Radio Guy, Steve etc. and some new blood like Brad, Andrew, Richard and Jamie.
I really had no intentions of buying anything until I saw that VTOL. Dam you Damed Viper lol. It was one of the two vehicles that were high on my list. Pick up a couple of other miscellaneous items.
To my shock, I didn't expect the 25 + Steelers and General Flaggs I brought to disappear in a minute. Usually, Raptor looks forward to raiding my freebies. Looks like he has some competition going forward. At least it wasn't any more foreign figures. Apparently, my freebies last year gave the foreign collecting bug to two others.
As for the wrestling, I sucked playing the game big time. No loss. I still maintain the fix was in. No way I would have bet Charles (separated at birth from Mick Foley) to win it all. Beginners luck or shark.
At least I am not feeling the after effect of those pepperoni sticks this year. Those hot ones slowed down my appetite.
The only thing from the post dinner that bugged me was the joint had no Stella. WTF.
Thanks to Mike for organizing the event. Black Ice is one hell of a custom.
