The discussion of the Alien series of films and the props used in them is the aim, but if it's got Big Bugs and Big Guns, then they are welcome too!

Gonna go to this one again this year. Calgary Expo. Had lots of fun last year. Here is Michelle, the prettiest Storm Trooper in the Empire.

I'll have my pulse rifle this year.
My goal is to get a photo of Tricia Helfer & myself along with an autograph. :wink: Anyone else gonna make this drop me with me? Scareb perhaps?

Mike

Well, had a great day on Saturday. Got there around noon & stayed until closing. Met the boys for the local 501. They are always supportive and welcome me with open arms. Ran into a few hotties. First up was a cute Wonder Woman.

Image

Next was one of sweet looking Stormtrooper (not the same one from last year)

Image

The town of Vulcan has a table with some "red shirts" who were alive :lol: so I got me a pic with one of them

Image

I also ran into Sue and Chad from Edmonton. I met them last year & Chad (xeno_stomper) wants to build a smartgun so give him a hand. His wife Sue wants to do a Ripley ~kewl~ so here was her initial impression of Ripley with a chest burster. Of course, I had to open up with my M41A on the little devil

Image

I got an autograph from George Takei and the beautiful Tricia Helfer. I went later & got a pic of Tricia holding my M41A. The photo is to be mailed to me & I'll scan then post when it arrives. All in all, an excellent Saterday. Next year I'll make a point to stay for both days as I was invited to many social events after. Would be great if the eastern Canadians came out west to make a big impact upon the show. After all, Mike flies to Toronto for Polaris so would be great if the others came out this way
~hint hint~

More pix are available on my Photobucket site. Enjoy!

Mike

Sweet!

Great pics Mike!

As to making it out West, unfortunately D-Con takes up all my spare cash for the year- Polaris is a mere $10 in gas for me. :wink:

However I should make the effort for another Homeland drop... Gonna have to start saving for next year now. :wink: :)

You're busting my chops Mike... I come one province over to go to Polaris... :roll: I promise one day I'll come out to Cowtown. :lol:

Happy to see you had fun... Question: are you like, the only man in Alberta? All I see are chicks!

I need to pay more attention to the "LOL New People" thread. Tell Chad to drop me a PM if he has any questions!

Got the jpeg emailed to me today. Here's the pic of Tricia & me. I call this image, "She's Got a Plan".

Image

Damm, is she ever tall. I'm 5'10" & she still towers over me (maybe I'm just short) Hey Joe, can you beat this one? :wink:

Mike

Dom, ref flights, check out Westjet. They always have seat sales.

I just finally ventured onto this forum sub-section.....after being on this site for many many years lol!!

I ended up going to the sunday show since that was the day doug jones was there. He saw my tattoo and freaked right out. I got a pic snapped with him so when they email it, i'll be sure to post it.

Mike, I got your phone message, only problem was that I lost my cellphone at my buddies place and i didn't find it until last night. Sorry I couldn't get back to you.
