Join the Rebel Alliance!

So you'd think by now that I'm all ready and rarin' to go for the upcoming (and oft-mentioned) C4 Convention  to be held at the Winnipeg Convention Centre, Friday Oct. 29th - Sunday Oct. 31st 2010.

Well, turns out I`m not quite ready. I assume that I will be by that time, but at the moment, I`m just trying to get all the little details together for the con .... business cards, signage, flyers, price tags, displays, etc... Although I will have a relatively modest stock of items compared to some of the other vendors that will be there, I do intend to sell a lot of comics and figures as well as reveal to the general public some of my favorite examples of my own personal photography, partcularly that which falls within the realm of Sci-Fi & Fantasy (check out my pics on this blog and in my Flickr Account ).

Anyway, although I consider myself to be the founder, CEO and dare I say Admiral of Rebel Alliance Canada , it is still..... an Alliance of One. Me. (Cool how that all fits together, eh!)

I believe it is time to recruit,....


There has been a great disturbance in the Force...our scanners indicate that the Winnipeg system has long been devoid of intelligent lifeforms...or at least it could use a lot more people who appreciate the finer forms of entertainment -  like comic books, Sci-Fi , Anime, Fantasy and the like... Not to say that us fans aren`t out there....but we need our voice to be heard....


That`s where YOU come in.


So you may say to yourself :
``I can't get involved! I've got work to do! It's not that I like the Empire, I hate it, but there's nothing I can do about it right now.``

To that, I say :
``Well, that`s your Uncle talking. You must do what you feel is right, of course...``


To make a long (Episodes I-VI) story short:
 ``I need your help, (insert your name here).  She needs your help. I'm getting too old for this sort of thing....``



Okay, so I`m not really too old for this sort of thing...the Comic Book Guy on Simpsons might be older than me...but I do genuinely need help....

Rebel Alliance Canada will be making its public debut at Winnipeg Comic Con 2010, but after that titanic event, the struggle will continue. The reason I named this venture as I did was because I happen to know a lot of hugely creative, talented and cool people (yeah, you know who you are), and I`ve always had the crazy notion that if we could all just work together to market our imaginative powers we`d be millionaires..... or at the least make a few bucks on the side with a little effort. I intend to return to the Comic Con next year, as well as to continue selling on Ebay (and other possible sources) all year round. Yes, right now, the business primarily sells my own art and comic books, but I`m looking to go beyond that and help you sell your stuff and vice-versa. If you`ve got some of your own artwork you`d like to sell or some of your collection of comics or action figures that you`d like to unload, I may be able to help you with this. Space permitting, I can try to promote or sell just about anything you want, as long as it`s legal, in good taste and somehow sci-fi,comic or pop culture related.

If you are interested in this proposal, please contact me via email or leave me a comment on the blog. (I`ll be putting up a Facebook page soon, so stay tuned for more linky goodness with that too) With your help, the Alliance will grow stronger.



``Help me (insert your name here)..... you`re my only hope...``


*** p.s. ***

Although I know that some folks in other countries have seen my blog (Thank You, Denmark!!), I`m afraid that I can only extend my offer of allegiance to those in the immediate vicinity at this time. That being said, if you are nowhere near Winnipeg, please don`t go away! Keep checking back for updates & photos to see how things develop. Take heart! It`s only a matter of time before
the Alliance brings the Good Fight to your territory!

As always,

May the Force be with you...
