020 - GALAXAAR

[captain_slinky]

The next show i will be selling stuff at is a little first-year convention in Issaquah called GALAXAAR. It looks like a very dedicated and determined 80's-themed Toy, Game & Collectible show. The guy running it is super-likeable and charismatic (in a GOOD way, not a smarmy way), and you can read all about his and his passion HERE.

One of the main attractions, for *me*, to vend at this show is to see if this might be the right type of show for us to do a live 1980's Saturday Morning Historical Preservation Society event! It really seems like it would fit in nicely :)

Ooooooh. I just heard about it over the weekend and was getting ready to send you a message about it. If they want to do an event, let me know. The show sounds really fun.

Maybe you can have a TV on your table running one of the Saturday Morning programs we created. That might take up too much space, though. Especially since it should be an old-school TV to really make it realistic. XD

I'm going to have *plenty* of room, I just won't have access to electricity from what I've heard... will double-check that.

I've recently been downloading a ton of "W/O/C" blocks of 70's and 80's Saturday Morning programming from MySpleen, to play in the background while I make my lamps. Some of them are of INCREDIBLE quality, you should check them out!

I am woefully unfamiliar with MySpleen. Looks like it requires an invitation, though. I've found one place giving out invites, but only if you can provide two screenshots with proof of a good ratio. I only have one account to show. Meh. Let me know if you know anyone with an invite.

i have SO MANY INVITES! Check your DW personal messages, just sent you one ;)

I enjoy MySpleen because it's smallish and specializes in stuff that is so grey (original TV broadcasts, rare OOP stuff mostly) that you'll never get a cease & desist letter for downloading from them ;)

WOOOOO! I'm in!

I have a VPN that I can use for anything I decide to download. That helps make sure I don't have to deal with any ISP notices. :)

Btw, did you catch the Netflix special Michael Bolton's Big, Sexy Valentine's Day Special? I won't spoil it, but it's RIGHT UP YOUR ALLEY. It's not REALLY about Valentine's day and it makes fun of a lot of things around it. And... well, SANTA. Trust me. You'll like it. Just maybe consider waiting until Molly isn't around.

Once you get on, look up user TonyLoccsta, his rips are the absolute best :)
