The Defuser Rides Again?
While I was determined to retire the spandex and spend more time on SCARE for a CURE and my career...it looks like other options are on the horizon.
Earlier this month (November 2010) Wizard World finally brough a large convention to Austin; my home town.
At the last minute I decided to join the show when I was asked to host the WW costume contest and kids costume contest. We were also offered a spot to put a SCARE table.
Since it was my home town and I felt that the Defuser just kind of "faded" away, this would be a good time to give the costume an official farewell.
Low and behold, not only did I have an incredible time, raise some money for SCARE and see several of my convention circuit friends...WW asked me to emcee other shows.
They sweetened the deal by offering to make SCARE something of an OFFICIAL Wizard World Con Charity. We still arent sure of the details and this may not be a HUGE amount of money for SCARE but the publicity alone had me interested.
The entire Wizard World staff including, Peter, Courtney, Natalia, Kim and Heather were all incredibly helpful and friendly, I couldnt say no.
So here I am, in a position to make a little money for SCARE, do some traveling and hang out with friends. I was at a point where I really wanted to start trimming down all the chaos in my life; SCARE, superhero, Elks Lodge and oh ya, my real job.
I'm not sure where the cuts will be but I'm actually looking forward to seeing Atlanta, New Orleans and Miami.
One dark spot still looming over The Defuser's head is the fact that Stan Lee, Syfy and NBC have still not given me the promised action figure.
Each month I get another sob story, delay and empty apology. I'm tempted to make a YouTube video complete with cameo's by some of my more famous friends. :-)
I mean...come on guys, you made a promise, a commitment, a little follow-through please.
It's been over 3 freaking years!!! I think I've been pretty patient.
So, The Defuser is going on the road again, I hope to see you at a Wizard World Convention...and you should wear a costume!!!

Sad you have been treated by those folks the way you have been, but I am very glad you have not given up. It's an inspiration to me who consistently gives up on my weight loss project.
