The convention

Friday was an easy day with relaxed crowds. Heard some stories of grandparents and Aunties and friends who suffer with P.D.
With each personal story is a sense of loss, but also a sense of pride in sharing their knowledge of the strength that Parkinsons patients have.
And renewed purpose for us. It's a great feeling to let family and friends know that their donation is helping find a cure. Very touching.
We were in the company of folks we'd met at MegaCon and we made new friends as well, several of whom had their own connections to P.D.
Todd Bridges (Willis from Diff'rent Strokes) came by and introduced himself. He joked a little about his past and the possibility to go back in time to fix some things in his past, but was definately happy to be in the present. Jake Busey visited our booth (Gary Busey's son) and was so nice. He has many credits to his name, but one especially significant is the movie 'Frightners' with Michael J. Fox. Jake stopped by to say 'Hi' every day, always with that big Busey smile! :D


Larry Thomas, the 'Soup Nazi' from Seinfeld was much friendlier than his screen character!

And Lois Lane herself -Margot Kidder stopped by to do some time traveling.

AdventureCon arrival

We said goodbye to the beagles and departed home at 4:49am (yawn) and pointed the time machine towards Knoxville.
Before we knew it, the 'Sunsphere' from the 1982 World's Fair was in our sites and after checking into the hotel, we made our customary dash to Walmart for all the last minute things we need or forget to bring with us.
Ate a quick bite at a place with a big cowboy hat, so we disguised the time machine as 'Hoss', from Bonaza.
Then we loaded the vehicle into the convention center easy as pie. Not even a ramp. Just drove in, down the aisles and parked her in the space!

AdventureCon

We're preparing for another time leap - to Knoxville, Tennessee in
9 days 21h 07m 42s!
We'll be displaying the DeLorean Time Machine at AdventureCon, inviting honorary time travelers into the cockpit for a photo -and collecting funds for Parkinson's Reseach, of course! I'm looking forward to unveiling the latest 'enhancement' of the vehicle. A good friend (and fortunately a genius) engineered the car to actually *reward* those who make a donation. It's a one-of-a-kind feature that is now the coolest part of the entire time machine!
Come see us!
