Hallowee-ee-een

This long day started at 3:00am due to unforseen circumstances. It's still going strong. Somewhere in between there were some tricks and some treats.

...back to the grind. Tomorrow always arrives sooner than later.

Central Canada Comic Con (Words-Cam/Photos-Neufeld)

We witnessed the gathering of Trekkies, Star Wars die hards and beyond first hand today. Our friend Dan Neufeld was kind enough to let us use his photos to highlight some of this weekend's highlights at Central Canada Comic Con in Winnipeg to share the experience to those who weren't there.

Tribble trouble!

Klingon!

Bounty Hunters! Boba Fett is always bad ass!

Daphne and Velma hanging out at the Alchemical Press booth helping raise some money for Kids Help Phone!

Batman and Robin....Robyn?! Some lovely bird anyway.

Bounty Hunters keeping the crowd in line while the belly dancers shake their mid drifts.

Domo and friends.

Spidey familia.

??? I'm out of the loop on what this is, but it's something awesome I'm sure.

Dark Knight.

Cobra Commander.

Pile driver?

Optimus Prime...

...more than meets the eye!.

Mortal Kombat!!

...and then some.

It was hard to find parking outside the Convention Centre. These guys parked the Death Star outside taking up all the good spots! Then they lost some street cred hanging out with the gingerbread man?

Kokanee Sasquatch.

Everybody loves the Muppets!

A little bit of this...

...a little bit of that!

Numerous celebrities of course were available for autographs all the way from Brett the Hitman Hart...

...to the infamous William Shatner himself!

...so there's that. Thanks for the photos Dan!

For as long as I can remember...

Not everyone likes everything we say or do and that's the way we like it.

So there's that.

Finish the roll!

When there are three frames left on a roll of film you got to get on it so you can pop it out and process it. I declared last three frames the other day and got to work.

Victim # 1 Brennan

Victim # 2 Jo

Victim # 3 is a surprise. You'll have to wait for P/S Zine Issue # 3 for that one!

In the meantime...

Fresh from one of the latest rolls of film here are a few sneak peeks from joining Chelsea and her friends for some photos down by the river this past weekend.

Chelsea herself armed with her Minolta X-700

Casey

Ali

There's more where that came from...we still have to process Chelsea's film! There are never enough hours in a day!

Back on the horse.

If at first you don't succeed...

...be like Brennan. Get up and try it again!

...and then maybe go home and ice the ankle!

No Trespassing!

Anyone caught in this area will be arrested...

With the exception of Brandon Veach...

Cats , donkeys and so much more.

We knew we had a busy Saturday planned. We just had no idea how much fun and a little bit of weirdness awaited us at each turn.

The day started off early with one skate spot being crossed off the list due to a building unexpectedly being full of people on a Saturday so we moved on to a back up plan.

This back up plan is what we assumed was an abandoned store front behind a house. Once Grady got started jamming on the wall the surprisingly familiar looking owner came out asking what we were doing appearing to be frustrated. We instantly apologized for assuming the building was abandoned and offered to be on our way. He insisted he just wanted to know what we were doing so we stated the obvious...skateboarding and taking photos. He asked what for and we told him about P/S Zine. He gave me his card and asked me to send him a copy and let us carry on. The man just happened to be City Councillor Harvey Smith. A splendid way to start the day. For a moment I thought I was in opposite world, when in reality we were just in Harvey Smith world.

Neither Grady nor I could tell you exactly what is going on in this picture, but we can assure you he somehow rode away!

After hitting a couple more spots (including the spot on my head that hit concrete) it was time to dive in to the world of Chelsea.

I met her cat who gave me the once over sniff test and then jumped up on the seat to strike a pose.

At a glance this dwelling was full of all sorts of cool stuff.

Like pooh bear for example.

There were paintings, a never ending supply of home made jewelry and other art type stuff everywhere.

The latest collage.

...and the real reason we were invited over. To join in on this fun filled photo shoot!

More on that later...

Then we headed out to see our friend Jay for the last shoot before the sunset/imminent storm. When we arrived at his property we were surpsised to be greeted by his "roommates". Once I broke out the camera they were fighting to get in the shot.

The winner!

Wow!

Jam packed Saturdays!

We have a day full of fun things to do. Just in case you are just getting started and have yet to figure out where to start YOUR day...

Watch this fun filled video first.

Then what? ...thinking of going shopping? Here's a chance to take advantage and save some dough!

POO!

Here's something a little random...

I remember how nervous I was during my first job interview as a teenager. The potential manager-to-be asked about the "music" I had noted under "other and hobbies interests" on the application. He asked if I was in a band. I said yes. He asked what it was called and I hesitated, skipped the acronym and answered "Peak of Outrage". He in turn exclaimed POO! It turns out we had more fans than just punk rock skateboarders. Yes, I got the job.

Off!

This is just one good way to kick off the end of the week!

...a little help from your friends

We had a lot going on the week leading up to the P/S Issue II Zine Launch Party so there wasn't a lot of time to post about all the things going on that week. Luckily it was still documented! ...so going backwards we have some highlights from the barrier tranny build up.

First thing's first...find or get yourself a barrier. Then round up some friends.

No not Fred... He was just there to look pretty.

Put your back in to it and mix that cement!

Get your screed board action on!

Don't be scared to get dirty and oh yeah...don't breathe in the dust!

Our first attempt get's a final inspection...

...and the official seal of approval!

Big ups to Mitch for guiding us in the right direction on this little project! He knows things!
