    Well, it's that time of year again! Snow and cold weather can only mean... Marscon's coming! And Minnesota Jones and I are going to be putting on another prop display. So come one, come all! Enjoy Minnesota when it's best! You've got cool props, you know you do, and you want to show them off! And you want to see what other cool toys people have been working on, too.

    Mike and I have done this for the last two years, plus we put on Propatorium at Fallcon a couple months ago. If you want some pictures from past years, try here: http://www.minnesotajones.com/Marscon_2008.htm
    here: http://www.minnesotajones.com/Marscon_2007.htm
    and here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/24502629@N04/

    So if anyone wants to see what Minnesota looks like in March, and hang out with some fellow prop geeks, this is your chance! Info and registration for the con is here, and registration prices will go up at the start of the new year. http://marscon.org/2009/index.php Register now, register often.

    Hopefully I'll get there and actually see you this year Bob. and/or Scott for that matter. I think you two must have either passed out or were MIA when I got there late Sat night last year. Good thing Mike was around the room so I could see the display. Was quite impressive last year.

    I'll be back again (feel free to scream in terror. ).

    Tentative list of diplay crud I'll be bringing for the propatorium:

    Gears Of War Lancer
    Aliens Pulse Rifle (If I get the b!^<# finished...)
    Aliens Motion Tracker
    Aliens USCM helmet
    Space: Above and Beyond M70 Pistol replica
    Space: Above and Beyond uniform.
    Space: Above and Beyond paper prop collection.
    Space: Above and Beyond Demo Pack (production used)
    Stargate SG-1 MP5
    Stargate SG-1 P90

    Can't think of anything else right now.

    Bob, you finished anything yet?

    Ummm, in my mind I have! I have some stuff on the back burners (and the smoke's getting mighty thick, I'm tellin' ya!), and I probably should bring them to the more frontish burners. I thought those 2 consecutive 4 day weekends would make me productive. Not quite the case... BUT, there's a 3 day weekend in a couple weeks!

    Welll, I haven't finished anything lately. Have to prioritize and get it in gear, pronto. But the weather just kind of makes me want to park it with a nice, warm DVD.

    And I hope you can make it this year, too, Paradox!

    every year i hope that the Constantine Lighter is finished and sent my way... but if you've followed the junkyard thread... we're still waiting... seems like i've been waiting 2-3 years for that piece...

    was also hoping for that mark IX tricorder... from MR... but that one is in limbo as well...

    i've sold off much of my airsoft... and have real steel ... but they aren't props... hehe

    I wish I could have been there at one particular point.

    Patron: So what's this black bird?
    Mike: What's that? Uh, it's The Maltese Falcon.
    Patron: Maltese Falcon? What's it from?
    Mike: ...It's from The Maltese Falcon.
    Patron: What's that?
    Mike: It's the stuff dreams are made of. It's the thing! It's the dingus! Classic movie? Humphrey Bogart?

    I'm surprised Mike didn't have a heart attack right there.
