Story line was that the Central Lake District was being run over by a horde of zombies and the North American command gave up on the Central District and moved the military units toward the west coast, concentrating on the West-HQ in Vancouver and East-HQ along several coastal cities. The EuroAsian Russian Federation commandeered the LZ129 luxury zepplin and decided to pick up the survivors of the devastation.

Over forty people reportedly contacted the landing zone but only about two dozen showed up. No problem we lifted off and had a party celebrating the Post Mayan Zombie Apocalypse…

[Oct 26-28 2012 – Seattle, WA – USA]

I haven’t been hitting conventions or traveling to “exotic” places of interest this year. So much less to report than usual. Maybe I’ll pick up next year…

I did go to Steamcon IV; however, this is a repeat con so I usually don’t take as many pictures as if it were a new one. SO his is my paltry presentation (sorry):

Moline High School Class of 1977 Class Re-Union July 14, 2012

 
 
 
[July 14, 2012 – Moline, IL – USA]

There was a pre-re-union event on Friday that included other classes but I didn’t go. Coincidentally my dad flew in from Arizona to visit friends up here so I had dinner with my dad and company.

Saturday, went to my 35th Annual Moline Senior High School Re-Union in Moline, Illinois. Dawn Schwartz arranged for a pre-re-union get-together for the MHS band members, so about a dozen of us showed up for that. Dawn volunteered to picked me up at my hotel and chauffeured me to the pre-event event. The first batch of pictures are from that event.

After that was done, some of us dropped out, but most of us went to the official re-union at Stoney Creek Inn in Moline. About 200ish showed up. I knew about a fifteen people or so. HUng around and talked to a bunch and took half-a-ton of pictures. Hope I got almost everyone at least once. If not, sorry…

You need to use a Kindle FIre; or the free Kindle apps for Apple and Android units. (Since it’s a graphic novel, it probably won’t work well on phones, but it should work well on tablets.)

Thanks!

 
 

At the DCA Airport – John Ratzenburger (Cliff Claven)

 
 
 

[June 14, 2012, DCA Airport, Washington DC – USA]

So just last week I was lamenting to the bartender at my “home” hotel at the Miami (Florida) Airport Marriott that I haven’t bumped into a celebrity lately there.

Well, so I am at the DCA American Airlines Admiral’s Club and guess who drops in? Cliff Clavin (John Ratzenberger) from Cheers! Is that cool or what, as in “Cool beans!”
