This is the closest that you will ever get to see me in a photo. Ideally, my face is covered.

It makes me look a little dumpy but that is because it has some air in it.

This is me at Plan 9 Comics in Boone for their Halloween party.I was really too late to show up for the costume contest but they gave me 5th place anyway. I got a bag full of candy and some other stuff.

I didn’t get to stay too long but it was fun. Because of the mask no one recognized me and I kind of freaked everyone out by not talking. It was great. The real tragedy is that this is the only mask I can wear with my glasses. I had an actual Russian made gas mask but due to my bad eye sight and my HUGE head I could not wear it properly. One of the guys who comes to the shop was in the army and told me to be on the look out for wither a M24 gas mask or a M17 gas mask as they were made for people with eye issues.

Thanks to Jenny for snapping these for me!

Yesterday, I was sitting in my local comic shop, Plan 9 Comics, and all of a sudden there was a loud crash in the parking lot. Myself, the clerk, and three other patrons ran out to see what had happened. Some lunatic had plowed his car into the Verizon wireless store next door. 

The front of the store was completely smashed in. He was spinning his wheels trying to free the car from the wreckage and created a huge cloud of smoke. Once free, he spun around in the parking lot, flung broken glass everywhere and starting screaming death threats at us. The clerk herded us back inside and locked the door in case he came after us. I dialed 911 and the police and fire department showed up. 

My name ended up in the newspaper and they have not caught the guy yet. Joy. 

It was one of those one in a million things that you are rarely witness to.
