Middle Earth family

Another family with a great theme – this time from J.R.R. Tolkien’s Middle Earth. I didn’t ask, so I hope I’m not wrong, but this is Bilbo Baggins, Tauriel and Gandalf heading off on an adventure on the TARDIS. I think they would be excellent companions for the Doctor, don’t you?

Sean Astin

Sean Astin was at Ottawa Comic Con this past weekend. He was absolutely amazing! I loved his panel, and I loved talking (briefly) with him when I got his autograph. I asked him “Do you wish ‘The Scouring of the Shire’ had been included in the movie?” He said that a lot of people ask him what he thought should have been included (“[The list] certainly doesn’t include Tom Bombadil!) and that they had to do a lot of sword training for that part of the movie, and then they didn’t even film it! He said that at least he got to fight with a frying pan.

Then I asked if he would be OK if I took a picture with him holding the TARDIS. He was very interested in it and asked me how long it took to make. Totally made my day!

Winner!

I am terrible at remembering to do things. Like post the picture of the winner of our contest when he visited our booth during the Geek Market in March. Here he is: Geoff Gander! Those links will take you to his public author page on Facebook and his GoodReads page. He writes horror, fantasy and science fiction, so check him out!
