HAPPY BIRTHDAY CONNELL...!!! CHEERS...!!!

Thanks for all the Birthday wishes folks. I'm really touched.
I also really need to thank the following people:
* Brian F. for putting the event on at S7 and taking a group of the Pink Hardhat Crew out to dinner after the party. Your a
class act my friend.
* Josh H. for all of his hard work and the beautiful hand painted personal invitation. So cool!
* All the S7 crew especially Luke and Yaima for staying the extra hours and working the party.
* Special thanks goes out to all of you that sent toys for the show. PK for the great little "blind egg" figures and that "Special
Boss". You are a prince! To Brian Bunting for making a brand new figure just for the event and for the gift of, not one, but
two one of a kind custom Skarthrax. To LASH for the two Ollies he sent. I know you have been super busy and I can't thank
enough for taking the time to get those done. And to my good friends Sean and Cliff of Monster Hero. Cliff for the Mixed
Parts Frank-N-Victim's and Sean for working his ass of to get Ememgon done in time for the party. And to Melanie for
staying the course of the nerdfest.
* To Joe and Kirkland for documenting the party and for just being there.
* And a special thanks to all of you that showed up and made the evening what it was. The individual custom pink
hardhats that you all worked on. They are something I will cherish into my next 70 years.

Here is an extra pic that I took of Connel and David discussing hat art. I think Dave was most inspired by the creativity of Jeff because he then produced a second hat with the same motif. It is interesting that David is 10 and Connel is now 70 because it just shows that love of these toys knows no age.



When Kirkland asked where David and I were going after the party, I told him to feed the coons in Golden Gate park. Kirkland, here is a picture since I was not able to show you one that night.



These animals live in the park and come out for feeding after dark, if you know where to go. Kinda like some fellow local toy collectors that we all know.

Ooh. Nice picture. I wonder why Connell looked so serious.

Ooh. Nice picture. I wonder why Connell looked so serious.

Maybe it had something to do with you switching Boss's on me when you thought I wasn't looking.
