I've seen plenty of shows end, but nothing really as big as the countdown for the end of Smallville. Whether you've been a fan of the show over the years or at least have been aware of it, anyone can guess what ultimately happens at the very end. It's that anticipation over the final iconic moment the show will have that has made the journey quite ( Read more... )

Besides anime and Power Rangers, I hadn't really been to any other conventions before, so I didn't quite know what to expect as I headed downtown on Saturday the 5th. I made sure to show up early, getting to the convention center about 10:00. It was pretty quiet as I easily walked up to the sales booth on the 4th floor and was good to go. There was ( Read more... )

I thought about doing my usual year end review last month, but really, a lot of 2010's memorable things happened early in the year (Survivor's 10th anniversary, Winter Games in Vancouver, Valentine's Day) -- followed by a summer with team builds and outdoor activities, capped off with the trip to Pasadena. Plenty of good times, but also a feeling ( Read more... )

With these conventions, I never quite know what I'm getting myself into. Sure there's Power Rangers -- and LOTS of it, but the convention doesn't go until midnight, leaving the nights open. How would this go?

THURSDAY
Got to Sea-Tac early and awaited Tyler S. and Ryland to show up, as the 3 of us had seats together. Coming up from Tacoma took longer ( Read more... )

It's been an interesting summer, beginning with the news Saban bought back Power Rangers. It was quite unexpected, especially after the show was declared canceled a year prior and it looked like maybe it'd return in a few years. Boy, that was fast.  Filming is staying in New Zealand, but will now be shot in HD, so it'll ( Read more... )

I was a little surprised when I looked at my LJ and realized I didn't blog much last year. An unforgettable final year of Power Rangers quickly turned into spending a lot of time on Rangerboard and I tried to work on capping/editing clips for a follow up to the MMPR tribute when I could (still a work in progress).

It's great having a Fri-Sat weekend ( Read more... )

Back in June, the much anticipated announcement of Power Morphicon 2 came out -- and with it a slew of guests. After the Ranger appearances at Anime Expo weekend, nearly all of them we're added to PMC's guest list. Yep, it's already getting exciting -- and the con is still a year away.

I'm glad things are happening a lot smoother this time around. ( Read more... )

After 17 seasons and 700 episodes, it finally comes to an end later this year.

It's really no surprise. Last year was almost going to be it until Disney was obligated to continue production and hired Eddie Guzelian to "reinvent" the show, after 4 long years with Bruce Kalish. Ultimately, a ton of behind-the-scenes drama went down and despite Eddie's ( Read more... )

So yeah, fun looking back on 10 years ago...

Now let's get back to the present and boy -- what a wacky year '08 was...

It snowed in April, got up to 90 degrees in May for the first time, a storm followed that knocked out power in June, the rain got pretty annoying (especially when we had our work team build at the end of July) and the Northwest ( Read more... )

As 2008 comes to an end, I had been thinking a lot about anniversaries the past few months. After high school, I was in a work training program at Seattle Central College for a couple months, unsure where I'd be in '99. My job assistants eventually found a little place called MasterPress. I'd go on to spend 4 years there before budget cuts/layoffs ( Read more... )
