Hey Gang! Just got back from the vet with Rupert Cornelius over here. He picked up a nasty fever at ConnettiCon over the weekend… STEAMPUNK FEVER! (see what I did there?! Eh?! EH?!) In all seriousness though, Dogtoon and the Wandering Legion were all over Connetticon having a grand old time gallivanting our love of all things nerdy. We just couldn’t get enough of all the panels and events going on! We presented “The Most Dangerous Game,” a convention-wide man hunt, which was a big hit! Ever been in the middle of a con-wide manhunt!? Psh, that’s just what we do on the weekends… no big deal! We participated in several panels with the Wandering Legion, and as soon as those wrapped up we headed over to see our friends at the Nerdfit Network. Little did we know, our own Rupert Cornelius was staring in the Nerdfit Cosplay Court Case as head prosecutor! He successfully helped prove or disprove crimes that our beloved characters may or may not have committed. In fact, he did SO well that Judge Judy is pushing for him to get his own reality show called “Judge of the Jungle,” but after being called “Donkey Kong” one too many times… Rupert’s law career might be short-lived. (We already had a theme song picked out and everything! Well… it was basically George of the Jungle’s theme song but instead of “watch out for that tree!” it was “plea”… and some other law words and stuff) But anyway, the court case went well and we had a great time assisting Nerdfit with their panels and events.
We also had the pleasure of meeting some web comic GREATS like Ryan Somer from “The Least I Could Do” and Garth Graham from “Finders Keepers.” We like making new friends. Will YOU be our friend? No?! Oh… ok.
While this madness was going down at the convention center, there was a bizarre bazaar of Steampunks congregating across town in the laboratories of Doctor Grimm! I’m sorry… I have that backwards. There was a Steampunk Bazaar that was just filled with bizarre trinkets and gadgets and people alike! We rubbed elbows with artists and performers from all over New England, including our friends from the Red Fork Empire. Come to think of it… this is probably where Rupert got sick. All that elbow rubbing?? SOOO unsanitary. Well, once again we had an absolute blast and we’d like to thank the Wandering Legion, Nerdfit, and all our friends who make each convention such a success.
