So Excited

In just 2 days the BIGGEST bunny social event of the year will be taking place, yep, it's time for Rabbit Rescues Bunfest, which is on Sunday. Tomorrow though, me and daddy are going to Fort York to see a World War 1 event.

On November 11th this year will mark 100 years since the end of the great war (otherwise known as The first world war, the war to end all wars, world war 1 etc).  I won't bore you with a history lesson, at least not in this post.

For Bunfest we still don't know who is going to be going with me and daddy, we need an attendant with us after the last few years. So far it's a toss up between my uncles Andrew or Tim and my granty Flo, it might not be until later tomorrow that we find out for sure (which will cause daddy an extreme amount of stress worrying about if we'll even be able to go).

Oh, and one more even that is still a few weeks away, one last con to go to, this one is called KimiKon. It's being held in a building at the Exhibition grounds, this is a brand new one for us, so I'm not sure what to expect, and looking at their website doesn't give much in the way of hints either.

You guys know that when daddy gets really tired he becomes extra silly, well, yesterday was one of those times. Daddy was thinking about Star Wars, and how a person (or alien) could make lots of money legally. Well, daddy figured it out, going into the prosthetic bodypart buisness. In all the Star Wars movies, someone is always having a limb cut off (one even had his prosthetic arm cut off, and then had the prosthetic hand, on the same arm, cut off). Someone could get very rich just catering to a certain family alone (the Skywalkers), that family seems to be constantly getting into fights and then losing a body part or two, and some of those fights are between family members.
It's that part at the end of that theory that gets a groan, daddy figured out what to charge each person.........

Ready?

He's going to charge them...... an arm and a leg.... he'd be making money.... hand over fist.
You may commence groaning.

Fan Expo 2018

Things sort of started to go very wrong long before Fan Expo even started, like weeks before. Now, daddy doesn't usually go in for the photo ops or autographs, mostly because they're to expensive, and really the only ones he'd want were the extremely rare ones anyway (like if their Star Wars royalty, Mark Hamill, for example). Well, when they started to announce guests, there were two right up at the top of that list. Billy Dee Willams (the original Lando) and Peter Mayhew (the original Chewbacca), just over a month before Billy Dee cancelled, but he had a good reason, he's going to be reprising his role as Lando in Episode 9, so we can give him a pass for that. Peter Mayhew cancelled a week before, but he too had a good reason. About a month before he'd had back surgery (he had to use a cane to get around, and it was becoming more and more difficult for him) so, again he gets a pass. The replacement they found was a good one, Ray Park (Darth Maul), and daddy actually paid $88 dollars (with taxes) for a photo op with him, not two minutes after receiving the confirmation email, we get a message that Ray Park cancelled. That meant we spent $88 (which got refunded earlier this week).

Okay, enough with the bad stuff, on to the fun stuff. It was so much fun, for me. Daddy, not so much. He had a kinda sketchy hotdog and sauerkraut, that combined with the loud noises (what is supposed to be "music"), my thumping is more musical than that noise was.
Me and daddy are all ready to go, our friend and the Wheel-trans bus were late.
 This was the first time we ever had a companion ride with us on a Wheel-Trans bus, but all things considered, it went better than we could have hoped. Once we got there it was a little walk to get to the accessible gate, but once we were inside it was much cooler than outside, so daddy put the rest of his costume on.
Daddy saw this picture on a bunny Facebook group, the only thing daddy could see was the shape on its head.
Now, about the above picture, can you see the shape, it's the Batman symbol, daddy even showed it to the real Batman and he confirmed it was his symbol.

Later in the day daddy was feeling a little better, I think the medications he took and the earplugs he wore helped. And knowing that we were going to have a photo with a professional cosplay model, her name is LeeAnna Vamp. If you watched a show called Cosplay Melee, then you would have seen her, she was a judge on that show.
She was quite taken with me.
She even signed our picture for free.
What every Emperor needs if he wants to stay in power, a planet-destroying superweapon

Daddy came up with a name for this team.
 The two bounty hunters you see in that picture are called The Brotherhood of Kad (daddy was going to call the team The Brothers of Destruction, but that was already taken by Undertaker and Kane of the WWE).
Kad is Kad Ha'rangir, one of three deities that the ancient Mandalorians worshipped (similar to the Norse Gods of Thor, Loki and Odin). Kad was the destroyer God, he brought change and growth to the universe.
Hod Ha'ran was the trickster God, similar to Loki.
Arasuum was known as the Sloth-god, he was the God of stagnation, he was opposed by Kad.

I figure if homicidal teddy bears (Ewoks) can drive these things, so can I.

I only have one question, which of these buttons opens up the treat box.

My new bodyguards, they're much better than the idiot Stormtroopers.

On the way home me and our friend had a nap on the Wheel-Trans bus.
An upcoming event that we are really looking forward to is just 7 days, 11 hours and 25 minutes away. Yep, Bunfest is coming up next weekend, I can't wait.
And two things happen on the same day, on the 25th of September the Solo: A Star Wars movie is being released on Blu-Ray, the other thing is a birthday, but you'll just have to wait until the 25th to find out whose.
Oh, and coming up in 4 days is International Talk like a Pirate day.
