Last night, Chris was able to deliver a check to the Spanapark Lions from the proceeds of the Pierce County Toy and Geek Festival. The money will go towards their Eyesight and Hearing Aid Program and their back to school Adopt-a-Family program. From the great attendance and the efforts from Garrison Titan and the The 501st Legion, we were able to support their efforts with $1,688 this year. Thank you for supporting our show. We had so much fun with our first GeekFest that we just might have to do this again...

Wow. To quote the great Chris Egan, "Does it get any better than this?"

Seriously? We have FREE Parking at the Pierce County Toy and Geek Festival across the street from the RED GATE. Vendors were loading up their booths and we turned around and found this orange car parked right next to the front door. Sure hope we don't have to tow this out of here before the show tomorrow. Does anyone have Cooter's number or CB handle? Thank you to the LeMay Collections at Marymount for supporting our show with a piece of television history. Come and see it tomorrow.

Great news. Two weeks ago, we sold out all 37 vendor spaces. Each day, our waiting list kept growing and growing to over 30 vendors. Today, we received the approval to extend the show outside to the courtyard in front of the building. Now the show is able to nearly double in size. We have plenty of exciting and great news to come, but we plan to slow playing the news throughout the next few days.
