The Making of a Medley
Names: Skull Man and Shane
Who are you?
Shane: "Basically I'm dressed up as the Box Wars Spluglebot."
(Skull Man is quite obviously dressed up as SKULL MAN.)
We couldn't resist finding out what exactly this "Box Wars" was all about. Turns out it's pretty bad-ass. Shane explained it as essentially a loose organization of CARDBOARD WARRIORS. Everybody builds their own cardboard armour (similar to that donned by Shane and Skull Man, above), and then they meet in secret locations across the GTA and hold what Shane described as "Braveheart style battle[s] royale," in which the object is to destroy the cardboard armour of others, using cardboard weapons, without allowing one's own cardboard armour to be destroyed. The last combatant with intact armour is the Box Wars champion, until the next battle.
Do they have a website? Damn straight they do.

I can't believe I missed this.
Nimoy did indeed charge $60 a scrawl. I would guess that this was in addition to an appearence fee as well. Bargain hunters could get Billy Dee Williams' siggy for a mere $30 a pop. (Colt .45 not included)
Looks like a lot of fun...sorry I missed this. I was wondering why Union Station was full of so many costumed people when I arrived on Sunday.
I've been to this a couple years in a row and it is so much fun. I'm sorry I missed it this year as I was told they had a lot more support for it. Every year it gets bigger and better.
The guy with no face is the Question, not "the Questioner."
The faceless man is definitely the Question.
Whoops. Way to betray my lack of comic book expertise.
The autograph charge is ridiculous. You pay for the entrance and then on top of it you have to fork money and stand in a long line. Many years ago I did went - hope the smell (stink - seriously do these nerds ever wash?) is better these days.
the smell has generally improved over the years, this is possibly due to the fact that girls have actually started showing up to the thing.
