Have you accumulated a huge Ghostbusters Collection? Talk about what you have and show it off!

Yeah, I know, I've already got a ton of threads about most of my props.

But up until last night, I've never tried to put a large group of them together in one place and photograph them.

I've been doing improv comedy for over ten years as a founding member of the Sticky Wickets, more commonly known as simply the Wickets.

After our original organizer stepped down and then two years later his successor moved to NYC, I found myself taking on the role of performer-slash-planner.

In June will be our third outing since I was handed the reins, and it was probably inevitable... I've chosen to do a 30th anniversary tribute to Ghostbusters.

Last night I loaded my car full with props and costumes, hauled a major chunk of the collection to the Zodiac Theatre, and took some promo pics and videos along with two of our performers.

After they left, I looked at all of my gear grouped together like that for the first time, under the bright stage lights, and then at the camera in my hand with its just-purchased, nearly-empty chip.

So, of course, I spent another hour in there arranging and photographing my stuff.

Here are the photos that resulted. Where applicable, I have included a link to their individual threads if you want to learn more about them.

Enjoy.

Here's something I'll debut exclusively in this thread...

Despite purchasing an Acme-Chaston first aid kit last year, I had never photographed it... but then I remembered seeing a perfect Dustbuster among the random junk backstage during one of our recent improv shows. Luckily, the DB was still there.

And here are the group shots.

This isn't everything I own, it's just what would fit in my car.

I hope to go back and do another shoot soon.

Always!

The Keymaster colander is still a work in progress, I'm not quite finished with the proton gun of my pack, and I already wrote a scene for my fan-film which requires Egon's stethoscope/headphones, so I'll have to make those.

And there are a few other pieces I've got my eye on.
