Off Topic / The Ride to Conquer Cancer
« on: May 08, 2009, 04:10:41 PM »
December 24th is both Christmas Eve and my brother Darren's birthday. He chose that day to tell the family that he and his high school girlfriend Cat were engaged. This engagement was a long time coming as they've been together for ten years and just bought a condo. Still, we were all really happy for them and my mom started planning an engagement party while they started planning a wedding.

All those plans were cancelled a few months later. Cat saw her doctor about a lump on her neck. He confirmed it was cancer but suspected it was a mild type because she wasn't showing the common symptoms. Shortly thereafter, she was told it was Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. This is not a mild cancer at all, she was just showing unusually mild symptoms. So while she should have been shopping for a wedding dress, she was instead shaving her head and preparing for months in a hospital bed.

She has gotten through the worst of it for now. They haven't set a new date for the wedding but she is home now and the doctor's visits should be getting less frequent. Meanwhile, Darren has decided to bike from Montreal to Quebec City -over 250 km- as part of a fundraising event. He needs to raise $5000 to participate.

Here is his personal page.

I am turning this over to my friends online to see if anyone has a few extra dollars they can donate to his cause. I know times are tough and not everyone is working right now. But if anyone has any money put aside for charity donations, this is as noble a cause as you can find.

For Sale or Trade / Transformers TPBs for sale $10 each
« on: March 29, 2009, 10:09:28 PM »
I have the following trade paperbacks for sale. $10 each + S&H. All are C8+ and have been in my collection under a year.

I?ve linked to images of the covers for clarity, they are not my photos.

Transformers Evolutions ? Hearts of Steel
Transformers Spotlight TPB #1
IDW Transformers TPB #1 Infiltration
IDW Transformers TPB #2 Stormbringer
IDW Transformers TPB #3 Escalation



To save anyone interested from the same mistake I made, the IDW Transformers TPBs are oddly numbered. TPB #1 leads directly into #3, using G1 characters and designs. TPB #2 is its own storyline with characters from a wide range of eras.

I also have the following Marvel TPBs:
Cable & Deadpool TPB #4 Bosom Buddies
The Incredible Hulk ? Prelude to Planet Hulk



PM me for more information.

Off Topic / Video reading of my book
« on: March 15, 2009, 11:47:31 AM »
Just thought I'd hide my shame for a minute and plug one of my projects as a writer. Last year I wrote a children's book called What's In Mrs Fritz's Hair? It's received a lot of praise, particularly when I've read it at schools. So I've created a video using the book's art by Alan Cooper to advertise my book.

If you like it, I would be thrilled if you passed the link along to any parents you know with children between 7-10, or anyone you might know that works at a school, library, or bookstore. Thanks!

Quebec / Cobra window display?
« on: December 04, 2008, 04:31:19 PM »
I got an e-mail telling me to check out the window display at 5145 St-Laurent Blvd. I was wondering if anyone still in Montreal had or could swing by, maybe with a camera. Apparently it has to do with the Cobra the Musical guys.

For Sale or Trade / Splitting Senior Ranking Officer Wave 2 Sets
« on: October 05, 2008, 04:21:18 PM »
There are two three packs out now -G.I.JOE Air Command set, and G.I.JOE Sea Command set, that I only want one figure out of each. I want Deep Six out of the sea set and Skyduster out of the air command set. Is anyone interesting in splitting the cost of these sets with me, basically getting four figures for the price of three?
