And now time for some real insanity... some of you on Facebook have already seen this, but what is a Ghostbuster to do when he brings his family to a Con that focuses on one franchise only...?
Get ready for some pure insanity!!! (Bear with me people, this is all in good fun)

BOOOOOMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Anywho, so my wife and kids are huge My Little Pony fans, so consequently, I sit down to watch the show with them as well, and I have to admit, it has got to be one of the most entertaining shows on TV today... It has lots of great values for the kids, the songs are not annoying (and rather catchy), the characters are interesting, likable and easy to relate to, and there are TONS of great pop culture references for adults (Indiana Jones, Escape from LA, Metal Gear Solid, Star Trek, Scott Pilgrim, and yes, Ghostbusters - and let's not forget that there are actual ponies based on Big Lebowski characters and Doctor Who... and the villain is voiced by John de Lancie, who practically plays Q all over again from Star Trek: The Next Generation, but in dragon form)!
Ok, carrying on...
So, as somebody who primarily dresses up as a Ghostbuster at Cons (ok, I
ONLY dress up as a GB at Cons), I decided to throw a Pony-fied spin on it... the result???
VOILA!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
PINK EVERYWHERE!!! INTRODUCING THE PINKIE PIE GHOSTBUSTER!!! And here's a photo of myself and the rest of the family, who of course came dressed up as well...
And, met up with another friend of mine (and fellow Ghostbuster from Maryland)... of course, how could I resist striking this pose with her!
So, while I was there, I decided to meet up with the amazing Andrea Libman (who voices Pinkie Pie)... I love voice actors, and she is definitely one of my faves out there...
John de Lancie was also there, but his autograph/photo op vouchers sold out quick! I wouldn't be surprised if Trekkies were there JUST for him...
And...
What's this...? Somebody had the same general idea that I had! Genius! He also won the costume contest!
Of course, how could we not have a couple of photos together...?!?
In the end, I had an absolute blast! And, as for the convention itself, I must say, for a convention designed primarily around one franchise alone, this was some of the most fun I've ever had at a Con, and it is also one of the most well ran and organized cons I have been to as well... Kudos to the fans and crew who put it together! Best of all, my family had the time of their lives, and seeing my two little ones run around and interact with the voice actors from the show, and even singing songs with them, was absolutely priceless!
And as I leave this post, I end it with this...
Keep on 'Busting, my friends, but always remember to have fun! Even if it's at the expense of some of your dignity... LOL! (I'm kidding)
