I was there in 1982. I remember sitting in the Odeon in Kingston. It was me, my sister, and my father. It wasn’t my dad’s thing. I was gobsmacked by the idea of being able to go inside a computer, and live in this new world of video games, which, at the time, were just…

Kuffs (1992) – Bruce A. Evans

So Sue and I had a great old time at the Comic Con put on by Fan Expo. It’s a smaller scale event than their con in August, and honestly is a great way to start the convention season. Happily, there wasn’t a lot of things that Sue and I wanted to do on…
