Hello everyone;
Tonys Kingdom of Comics in Keizer will be having a combination food drive and toy drive, now more than ever the public needs our help. The food drive will benefit the local food banks, which are in dire straits. And the toy drive will help out The Simonka Place, a shelter for women and children who are victims of domestic abuse, and the Marines "Toys for Tots" program, AND possibly Doernbechers. I would like to divide the toys donated among all the charities we champion :D. I will be accepting food and toys, unwrapped and unopened, from now on til Dec 19th. If a toy is purchased in my shop for donation, I will add another toy to the pot at my expense. On that saturday the CCG/RL will be trooping at my shop, with additional guests possibly including the USMC, Keizer Fire Dept, Keizer Police Dept, the Cherry City Roller Derby Girls and several comic artists and writers to be named later :shock:. I plan on using the empty shop next door so we will be warm and dry 8). And as usual I will provide food, beverages and sick sales for my Star Wars family. So roster up people, this is gonna be a lotta fun :mrgreen:.

Regrettably, I have to cancel my availabilty to be a spotter. I found out I'll be at my in-laws to celebrate Christmas.

The Cherry City Derby Girls are on board, as well as the Keizer Police Dept and some local artists. I have confirmed the use of the space next door, so we will have an extra bathroom, plenty of room and HEAT indoors:twisted:! I am still waiting to hear from the Fire Dept, USMC and a HUGE name in comics. Keep your fingers crossed..............old tony kenobi

Not at all, I just didnt know for sure when I had my graphics guy do the flier :roll: We will be seeing a new Batman costume from, David, (Kreator), the Heath Ledger Joker and of course your 60's TV version Batgirl, (with your new boots :mrgreen:). AND Brian, (Sora), stopped by to tell me we might have a scout bike to display :shock:..................old tony kenobi
-
No worries Tony just givin you a hard time ..hehe wink! cya Saturday.
-
OK folks, talked with Allan and Rick, and we decided to have a gift exchange Christmas party after/during this event since we didnt have a scheduled Xmas party this year, and most of us got froze out last year. Everyone attending who wants to be a part of this just bring, (or buy at my shop at a SICK discount), one item around $10 and we will figure out how to disburse the gifts later. If you wish to stick around after 5 for a bit of OUR family party we will shut down the space next door for fun and games, (POKER PAUL!!!). You are all welcome to bring cookies, beverages, etc. I will provide lunch for all my guests earlier..........old tony kenobi

Sounds like fun! I'm planning to represent Batman as long as I can, but the only other time I wore this particular suit, 2 hours was my limit. I think I can go longer, but we'll see. If not, I've got an alternate costume I may debut for the remainder of the day.
Not sure how long I'll be able to stay after 5pm, as I had to cancel on a friend for his Christmas party last Saturday for the bell ringing event, but they're having another one in town this Saturday. Too many parties and events, and not enough Saturdays. :lol:
-
OK guys, if everyone could get here by 10, and get changed to wow the crowd at 11, that would be great. I will be at the shop at 9 at the LATEST. And am working on setting up the room next door all night. This is gonna a BLAST :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:.........old tony kenobi
-
sorry Tony looks as if i won't be able to make this...:(hope you all have a good time
-
ok i am going to try to make it.
(i spoke to you on the phone tonight)
i am not sure if i will make it or not, but if so i will try to be there kinda early so i can help you set up.
i wont have a costume but will be bringing my MR FX saber as my other one wont be done in time.
also if you would like i can bring my astromech droid along. it has a body and a dome with minor detail to the body (all outlines marked) and no detail to the dome, but it could be set up somewhere if you would like. if not that is fine as well.
anyway, this is if i end up making it. will try to edit post with more descriptive answer later or tomorrow morning.
-
sounds great, Ill loan you a jedi robe. And bring the droid............ol tony
-
Tony,
I am so sorry for the late notice, but both our boys have been sick the last few days, and now I am getting what they have : (
I look forward to getting together with CCG/RL at a later event, and wish you all a great time/ and happy trooping tomorrow.
Happy Holidays.
-
alright. you can put me down as coming.
i am going to try to have my dad get me there, and then my aunt pick me up, and ill stay with them and hang with my cousins.
thats the hopeful plan. and im very sure it will work.
so i will come as a jedi and ill bring the droid. is the party afterwords for just adults, or are the youngins like me welcome as well?
if i dont end up coming tomorrow i will give you a call at the shop.
thank you old tony!

It's 6:15 am and I'm just sitting down to sneak in a few hours sleep before heading in to the shop... Dyed both surcoat and cape and they're not quite as dark as I wanted, but still significantly darker than they were. I think it's going to look pretty great. Fitted my new dome and got it all packed up. Batman's off the mannequin and packed in too!
Will try to be there as close to 10am as I can, if I don't sleep through the alarms after being awake for 24 hours now. :?
Really excited to spend the day in costume(s) though, and I look forward to seeing everyone there!
-
i will be there today for sure. with the droid and my saber.
sorry for the flip flop of a answer before!
