Just a head's up for the 2 or 3 of us here from Edmonton...the old Record, CD, Comic and Toy Fair has been revamped as the new Pop Culture Fair and will be this weekend, Sunday the 18th to be more presice. The show starts at 10 and runs until 4 and should have a lot of really cool stuff.

So how did it go?  

And why is there never anything like this in Calgary?? :evil:

Well, you've got a big comic show coming up on May 9th and from what i hear from the promoter, there should be some good toys there...not sure about Joe tho.

This show was back up to par. This used to be called the Record, Cd, Comic, Toy Fair and it was kind of in jeopardy for a bit...the promoter decided almost two years ago that he was done with it and had let some guys from Calgary take it over...well, they dropped the ball and never did a fall show which led to me doing my first spring show last year and the Calgary guys running this show into the ground in June. Luckily Fred took it back and this one was awesome.

There wasn't a whole lot of Joe stuff to be had but i picked up a bag of figs and Cdn FCs for $10. Oh yeah, i found a nice Cobra Glider with Pilot and Cdn FC for $60 too. I was pretty happy....

Right, I knew there was a show here in early May, but I couldn't remember when.  I haven't been before, have you?  Are you coming to Calgary for the one this year?

I was planning on coming down for the show but i checked ahead on my schedule and i'm working that weekend unfortunately...maybe next time. If you need more info on the Calgary show, it's at the Red and White Club at McMahon Stadium from 10-5. It sounds like it's going to be mostly comics but you never know what you'll find.

Shane, do you know what the show here in Calgary is called?  I can't remember, and I know they have a website, but can't find it.

According to the flyer, it's called the Calgary Comic Book and Toy Expo 2004 and their site is www.members.shaw.ca/acca

Hope that helps!
