FanDays in Irving

I am a geek. I’m also a nerd and a dork. These confirmed traits make me totally qualified to write a review of the recent Dallas ComicCon FanDays held at the Irving Convention Center. Mine will be a mini-review as I was only there for one day. Let’s begin at the start—ordering tickets. We ordered [...]

The mad puppeteer

This is a shot from our TV shoot with the marionettes. Needless to say we had a very fun time shooting this spot, despite the pressures of time that come with every production. Jim is our talent and he did a great job of playing the maniacal marionette operator, pulling the strings of our little [...]

Arlington's identity dilemma

Arlington, Texas is an unusual community. Tucked in between Dallas and Fort Worth, it is the third largest city in the metroplex and has the distinction of being the home to the Texas Rangers, Dallas Cowboys and the original Six Flags Theme Park.

As part of my fiftieth birthday celebration weekend, my daughter and I attended Star Wars FanDays in Irving today. As big a nerd as I am, I’ve never attended a SciFi Convention until now. As far as these types of gatherings go, this one is fairly small. But that didn’t matter. I LOVED it. There’s [...]

I’m continuing my theme of photos from the past with this photo of the Liberty Belle taken a couple of years ago at the Magic Kingdom in Florida. For those of you who don’t know, I’m a certified Disney nut, uh er, fan. Yea, that’s it. I’m a fan. The truth is I love the [...]
