Cheers, I'm glad you liked my adding Neesy to the Reformatory Tour Group photo.
Tracey took some great shots to work with
, and it was fortuitous that Neesy was standing at the front in Tracey's photo after the Saturday evening meal. That gave me a nice clear image of her to "lift", and work into the balcony group.I acknowledge that John is the Immortal Dinh, and that I should have referred to you as the Dinh of the "Ohio Kon Ka-Tet".
I cry your pardon.
Glad you like it, we now have to remember not to say "the camera never lies" because it does!
...don't apologize my friend...I never wanted to appear as some type of usurper...Cheers, I'm glad you liked my adding Neesy to the Reformatory Tour Group photo.

Did a great job King Z. I sure wish I had that type talent Editing photos.
The Skemer Crashers <g> had a good time, I just wish we could have hung out more, got to know you guys better. We're all SKMB'ers but do not post that often so it was a bit awkward not really knowing anyone or anything about you folks but still, we had a good time. The Saturday rain sort of screwed the pooch with the Farm although we did go to the Bissman Building where many scenes from the film were filmed and has been investigated on all the haunted shows. I didn't feel or hear anything, I never really do, but DebCute did...as usual. I really missed a Standpipe type place where we all could have went and just hung out, laughing and talking all night long. It's rare that I come home from something like this and still have a voice left, lol. Thanks to all involved, it was fun.

Thanks for the compliment, but the real thanks should go to the programmers who created the software.
They're the clever ones, all I've done is teach myself how to us it.
It was great having you all along, and my wife enjoyed talking British television with you! Jillian is bugging me about Doctor Who now!

Faithful to her King.....
Awww, Deb! I so missed going to this Con! I just couldn't afford it. Great seeing my dear Skemer friends in the pics. Wow, Micki's hair!
Hey, what paranormal stuff did DebCute experience/!? I wanna hear this stuff. Which scenes were filmed at this Bissman Building?
Sounds like a missed opportunity to all hang out in a cool place like the Standpipe and get to know each other better. I missed the Pipe at last years Kon, too. But glad you had fun anyway and came home with a voice. Steve & the boys probably appreciated that, nudge nudge, wink wink.
Thanks to everyone who's shared pictures, seriously some amazing shots. Did I read Tracey took the majority? Kudos to her! So,
Scott, a child's voice was recorded on an EVP machine?? WOW, is that yours or the tour guides or what?
Wonder why kids voices are coming through. Not exactly a place for a child. Creepy!Seeing my old and new friends makes my heart yearn for Maine. Maybe we can plan a weekend trip there in '15, fall foliage trip?? Don't think I can swing a Colorado trip in '16. Hey what about Vegas in the winter instead? If i'm dishing out money to fly somewhere, it's gonna be warm where I'm going and snowing back East.
And another Whovian is born, lol. I had a nice time with your family, those kids are too damn cute!
Logged on and saw all these great pictures posted, felt like Christmas Morning!!!! Thanks so much for sharing the photos everyone!!!!! KING KON 2016 I've started my penny jar!!!!!

We missed you too, Cj!! We talked about you though, heh.
The facade of the Bissman Building was used as the entrance to the hotel they stayed after they left the prison and the front office was used as the newspaper editor's office. They also had some movie memorabilia around which was pretty cool. The vampire movie Dead Matter was also filmed there. It's been featured on many of those haunted shows. The basement was uber creepy!! Deb got something down there but like I said, she does every where she goes. She was feeling physically ill in many of the places at the Prison, got freezing cold spots, heard some things. She's like our own conduit to creepy, and I'm not just talking Skemer Creepy. heh heh It was pretty cool, I found it online, called up Joe the Tour Guide Dude, and we were there that afternoon having our own private tour. They have a print shop in part of the bottom floor and, of course, have exclusive Shawshank shirts super cheap, glad I didn't get the one at the Prison now, and a full size pirate skeleton that I, uh, 'played' with. What? I was just having some fun. Joe thought it was hilarious, wanted me to like make out with it but even I have standards...a bit anyway.
I really wish everyone could have come but that was the rained out Saturday and everyone had scattered doing their own thing. Ask me again after my youngest graduates next year about any trips. I will simply not have the money for that until then. He is going somewhere "big" with the school's Marching and Jazz Bands; not sure where, we were told only "BIG", and I have to go being a chaperone and all (yes, me a chaperone in charge of young, impressionable minds....scary, huh?) and really, I want to do as much with him as I can since I'm sure the family will be ditched once he hits college, lol. But I do want to get together; don't know where, don't know when but it will happen. Vegas (The Stand)? The Florida Keys and Key West (Duma Key)? New Orleans (hmm, any King connections in the Big Easy? Can't remember. Oh well, it's a fun place and full of creepy haunted vampy things). You and Cute didn't get to see The Stanley, maybe Colorado? Oh well, we'll get together again, someday.
...it was on my digital recorder and on Tracy's camera....Awww, Deb! I so missed going to this Con! I just couldn't afford it. Great seeing my dear Skemer friends in the pics. Wow, Micki's hair!

It was great to see everyone, and the departure was no fun, but it was an excellent weekend, and I enjoyed it very much! Thanks to those who put it all together. I look forward to the Colorado Kon!
Perhaps some of us New Englanders (and anyone else who wants to go) could have another weekend Bangor trip, MyLife4YouSK

Ahhh! Shawshank is on IFC right now. I am swooning having seen ya'lls pics;
I am totally up for an off year meeting in Bangor next summer. This year we bought a house, had a sweet 16, a HS graduation and a new baby in the family so the totality of it (and other things) derailed my summer vacation plans. Next year should be more open. Of course, we could always do King Kon Winter in Florida...
Looks like it was a great time. Thanks for all the pics folks! Sorry I couldn't make it, but I am sure the Giant made up for the fart jokes I wasn't able to tell and all the obscene amounts of pie I couldn't eat. Rhubarb, was it?
2 years wait now? Hmmm...

Here are some photos from the Saturday afternoon of the Kon. I spent time with my wife and kids, when it was raining on and off. We missed the gardens but the kids had a great time on the carousel and a nearby park and bookstore.
