So it’s about 5 in the morning and I’m wide awake. At some point between Comic-Con and Celebration my sleep schedule got all screwed up. But at least I have learned something about myself. I am much more productive late at night than early in the morning. You probably had already guessed that since it [...]

Open Your Toys Cast - Episode 037 (Part 1 and 2): SDCC 2010!
Well as usual here’s a convention wrap up way too late to do anybody any good. Yet, we still stress and grind, editing shows, photos and the worst of them all, videos. FUCK! It’s not difficult, but it’s time consuming or should I say cycle consuming. It doesn’t take too much of my time, but [...]
Open Your Toys Cast - Episode 036: BOTCON 2010!
This is a day late and a dollar short. Well, more like a week late and hundreds of dollars short(er). That’s right, I have finally somewhat caught up from yet another amazing Botcon. That’s three years running. Thought for sure I wouldn’t be going next year. But guess what, Botcon 2011 will be back in [...]
Open Your Toys Cast - Episode 035: I’m so excited and I just can’t hide it…
First off, sorry for the short delay. We were hoping to have this bi-weekly schedule on lock, but shit happens. The cast itself took a couple days (can’t imagine why at over two and a half hours long?). Editing didn’t go quite as planned either, but c’est la vie.
So Botcon, I mean BOTCON! I am [...]
Open Your Toys Cast - Episode 034: WOW, it seems like just yesterday…
We’ll I guess after you go for more than a month without doing something that makes you feel so good, then you do it twice in two weeks, it can definitely seem like just yesterday. Man, it feels good. I’ve gotta admit, I’ve been slacking. I’ve been drinking more than usual, eating more than usual, [...]
Open Your Toys Cast - Episode 033: We’re back like Kotter bitches.
If you have no idea what the reference is, it just means you’re young and I’m old. I’ve been feeling old lately because it seems like there is never enough time. I can remember even 5 years ago, being bored trying to find stuff to do, let alone when I was a kid. As kid [...]
Open Your Toys Cast - Episode 032: Mrs. McFavorite was right…
You’ll never guess where this is being written. I’m actually writing this during a color belt testing. In between patterns, combos and breaks there is a lot of downtime as judges jot down observations. I’m here to support my fellow students and more so because I’m fiending. On St. Paddy’s day I rolled my foot, [...]
Open Your Toys Cast - Episode 031: It’s almost Con Season…
Can you smell it in the air? The scent of anticipation? The odor of excitement? The stink of unshowered masses? I can remember back just a couple years ago when I really wished I could go to some of the bigger conventions. Fortunately in the last two years the Mrs. and I have been able [...]
Open Your Toys Cast - Episode 030: TOY FAIR 2010!
Do all caps and an exclamation mark do justice to how excited I am about Toy Fair 2010 ? Not even close. With all of the leaks, with all of the stolen Chinese toys, they still seem to absolutely amaze me. There’s usually at least a few pure unadulterated "WOW!" moments. Then there are known [...]
Open Your Toys Cast - Episode 029: Man, it is a great time to be a collector!
Hey toy fans! Mr. Slicky here, happy as a clam. How happy is clam anyway? Well it really doesn’t matter, I’m still sitting here with a big stupid grin on my face. Yes, I have been drinking, but it has much more to do with all the news from Toy Fair 2010. However, don’t get [...]
