PTG Episode 113 is brought to you by the Orlando Ghostbusters. We had Ryan Scott (GBRyan) on with us during this hour to talk about what the guys with the proton packs are up to these days in addition to greeting guests at Heroes Landing during Free Comic Book Day. Of course, the Orlando group is just one of several Ghostbusters fan groups out there–check out the links page on the Orlando Ghostbusters website to find out more. Maybe there’s a Ghostbusters franchise near you, in case you need to know who to call …
Also during this hour, a truly momentous occasion: Heroes Landings’ OTHER owner, Todd Merrick, joins us on the air at the top of the hour to talk about the day’s events as well as to show off his Star Wars ‘Lobot‘ impression. It’s quite the striking resemblance, as our pictures from the event show! Todd’s been very shy thus far about appearing on air with us, and instead allowing Stu to enjoy all the media attention, so we do definitely appreciate him breaking with that reluctance and sitting down with us for a spell, and if you listen to the podcast and you’re a Heroes Landing regular, be sure and stop in to tell him how great he sounded!
Also want to take a minute to give a shout out to our friends Javier, Fernando, Marc, and Judy over at Vulcan Events. On Sunday I finally made it out to their inaugural Sci-Fi event, and I’m glad I did. Aside from catching a very entertaining appearance on-stage by Stargate SG-1’s Michael Shanks, it was a fun trip down nostalgia lane for the Trek conventions of my youth, those South Florida shows to which I’d show up with my friends in that scratchy, uncomfortable polyester DS9 uniform and walk through the dealer room wishing I had more money to spend on all the goodies I saw there. Only difference between then and now: I’m older, and the Trek uniform stayed in my closet, where it belongs. Many thanks to Javier and Judy Garcia, Fernando Martinez, and emcee Marc Lee for putting on a great event and for allowing PTG to be a small part of it, and we’re looking forward to the next one!
It was also an opportunity to meet up with Dr. Vern, Chuck, and Christina from Sci-Fried, who by all accounts put on a phenomenal show the previous Saturday night. Check out Chuck and Christina in their AWESOME Jaffa armor in the pic below, and after that, check out the video clip I managed to get at Michael Shanks’s presentation, talking about the thing I’ve been poking fun at him for most recently, his Hawkman voice on Smallville. Enjoy!
Stumble It!
