So it’s been two days since I’ve been back home and I’m just starting to get myself back into a rhythm again. The pace I’ve been going lately has been fun but exhausting. Not only is it nice to slow down a bit and recover my energy, but I’ve pretty much been forced to do so since I brought home a rather unexpected souvenir from my trip — a sprained foot.
I gotta tell you, driving from LA to the Bay Area with a sprained foot is not my idea of a fun time. But I’m grateful that it was my left foot, otherwise, I don’t know how I would have been able to drive home. The foot is healing nicely and, while still very swollen, I can actually walk around now without too much of a limp.
Okay, enough about my foot. Let’s talk about the con. So you’re probably wondering which cast members appeared this year. Well, the answer is none.
Yep, none.
This is the first I-ManiCon ever where this has happened. We all know that there are no guarantees. Things happen and this year they happened to everybody at the same time. Vince had a family reunion, Mike was out of town for a wedding, Eddie was in rehearsals for a play, Paul was doing who knows what, and I don’t have a clue about Shannon.
It pays to be flexible when going to an I-ManiCon. It also pays to stay in town a few extra days. Mike flew into town Sunday evening and stopped by the hotel where we were staying for a short visit. He was an absolute sweetheart to do so because he was exhausted from his trip and he still had an hour’s drive home that night. By the way, Mike and Sarah are having another boy and he’s due in November.
Paul was able to meet us at a restaurant in Santa Monica on Monday night. He brought a couple of friends with him and we had a great time.
The con itself was a fun reunion of old friends and a meeting of new ones. We did the typical con activities such as play games, watch I-Man videos, go out to eat…and this year we also had a poetry/song reading.
I’m afraid I failed miserably in the picture-taking department. I was all set to take pictures of the cast at the con, but they didn’t show up and I forgot to take my camera with me when we met with Mike and Paul. So once again I am dependent on others for pictures, which I hope to have in a week or two to show you.
Overall, it was a great time. Staying in LA a couple of extra days gave us time to do some sightseeing and gave us the flexibility to meet with Mike and Paul.
I’m looking forward to next year and hoping that all the cast can attend and more fans can join us in the fun!

T-Shirts for this year’s I-ManiCon are now ready to order! This year, the very talented Rain, a fan from Australia, graciously volunteered her services and created this absolutely adorable graphic.
Now is that cute or what? If you wish to see a larger and more detailed view of the picture, I’ve placed a copy in the Fan Art Gallery. Just click the button at the bottom of the picture to expand it to full size.
Happily, you don’t have to attend the con to get your own t-shirt. T-shirts; as well as other merchandise like mugs, mouse pads, pins, and more; are now available for order online. Laura, an Oklahoma fan, has made ordering easy by setting up a store at Zazzle.com. However, the easiest way to find the store is to go directly to Laura’s website and click on the moving Zazzle picture.
Now go check out the assortment of cool merchandise!

If you’re itching to come to the I-ManiCon this summer, you’ll be interested in knowing that the official website is now up. I can’t take credit for doing it this year as I had to bow out due to time constraints. This film project keeps me busy! But, thanks go to Deb, the I-Maniacs Fan Club webmaster, for taking over the job.
This year you can find the con website at the I-Maniacs Fan Club website. The direct link is http://imaniacs.org/cons_events/imanicon2007/index.htm.
Last year, Vincent Ventresca, Paul Ben-Victor, Eddie Jones, and Mike McCafferty were able to attend. It was such a treat to have them there! This year, Joyce, the fan club president, tells us that all four guys are available to come again. Of course, that could change if they have to work, but I’m hoping that all four will be able to make it again this year. No word on whether Shannon Kenny can come yet, but I’m hopeful. It would be so cool to have the entire cast at the con this year.
The registration form is up at the site and the cost of attendance is $40 for the one-day con. Just print out and fill in the form and send it in with your money. The admission price does not include meals. Those are optional. But I highly recommend that you attend the dinner also because you’ll get to dine with the cast. We always take them out to dinner as a token of our appreciation for taking time out of their busy schedules to visit with us.
If you’re sitting on the fence wondering if you should go or not, I can assure you that you’ll find the experience worth your while. It’s a great bunch of fans getting together with a great cast.
Time is running out. There are less than nine weeks to the con, which will take place on July 21, 2007. So get your registration in ASAP!
Hope to see you there!
