This wonderful song was performed on last week’s broadcast of NBC’s Saturday Night Live, and from the sound of it he was really inspired by the legendary 1970s music duo Seals and Crofts.

The fact that the sounds of the 1970s was very clear in this song, along with the remix he did with Zedd, makes this one of the best songs of the year. It goes to show you how talented Shawn Mendes is. The music video that he did for this song alongside  13 Reasons Why star Alisha Boe was great as well. I read that the video was inspired by the movie  Lost In Translation (I’ve only seen a little of it), but those who have seen the movie can tell.
Shawn’s self-titled third album is available now.

For those of you that have seen that Corona Extra beer commercial, this was the song that was played. It was to symbolize summer, and this Australian did a wonderful job fusing the sounds of the 1970s and 1980s.
The band members are Star Kendrick and Toma Banjanin.
Their album  Relapse is available now.
The video for this song was shot on location in London, Great Britain, United Kingdom.

Two weeks ago, The Walter E. Washington Convention Center played host once again to Awesome Con!!!!! I was alone this time as my little brother decided to sit this one out. As you can tell by the photo above, it was held at the bottom of the convention center. EVERYONE had to walk all the way down just to get there. Tedious? You know it, but one of the upsides was that the weather was warmer than two years before.
I was there on Saturday, again, because I couldn’t afford to be there for the whole three-day event. It would be nice to do that, but money doesn’t grow on trees (Wouldn’t it be nice if it did?). As usual, I attended the Pro-Wrestling Panel which was without its moderator Joe Carabeo as another panel he was doing was double-booked. The rowdy panel went on as scheduled. I got to meet George Takei (Star Trek), Ralph Macchio (The Karate Kid), Townsend Coleman (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, The Tick), C. Martin Croker (Space Ghost Coast To Coast, Cartoon Planet) and Jess Harnell (Animaniacs, The Cleveland Show) and Walter Emmanuel Jones (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers) and talked with them. I didn’t get any photos and autographs because of the exorbitant fees that were requested.
I met cosplayer YuffieBunny and took a photo with her! Look Below!
Here’s another cosplayer named Jennifer Rose!
And here’s me with her!
Here’s another cosplayer named Ani-Mia!
And here’s me with her!
Visit YuffieBunny, Jennifer Rose and Ani-Mia on Facebook.
Both George Takei and William Shatner were there, and as I mentioned, I spoke with George and gave him my condolences for Leonard Nimoy who passed away in February at the age of 83, and Grace Lee Whitney who passed away last month at the age of 85. I also gave him my condolences for Gene and Majel Barrett-Roddenberry, DeForest Kelley and James Doohan, and he told me that they, especially James, were all wonderful people. There was A VERY LONG LINE for William Shatner, but I did get a glimpse of him when he walked onto the convention floor. I finally spoke with Walter Emmanuel Jones, but Austin St. John had already left while David Yost and Karan Ashley Jackson were getting ready to leave.
The women in the next three photos are representing a novel and comic book series created by Chad Morton called NUN-The Awakening. The series is about Ancient Egypt, and its vast, rich history. I know that it will be a hit, because we as a people must as Captain Jean-Luc Picard says, Make It So.
Look for me in Photo #2!

Here are two photos of me with two beautiful Trekkies!
And here’s me with Ms. Marvel circa 1977!
I think her friend was trying to get the right photo, but hey, it was fun!!!!
These three days were huge, and as I said last year……………I’M READY FOR NEXT YEAR!!!!!!!!! Enjoy the photos!!!!!!!!!!
This past Easter Weekend was an interesting one for conventions. Anaheim, California hosted WonderCon, New York City hosted a martial arts movie festival, and Washington, D.C. hosted the 2nd Awesome Con. Some people believe that Easter Weekend is not the best time to hold a convention. Some may think otherwise. But, it all depends on how you look at it.
My little brother and myself were there last Saturday, and we were both greeted by a VERY LONG LINE that wrapped around The Walter E. Washington Convention Center. It reminded me of the line at Katsucon 18 two years ago. According to reports, it took longer for those who pre-registered, than for those who were only there for one day! It was one of the big complaints of the event. The promoters have tallied the attendance at 40,000.
Here are a few standout cosplays:
The Pope and his Cardinals
Jesus. This wonderful gentleman named Anderson Marchack travels to conventions cosplaying as Jesus Christ spreading the message of good deeds and tolerance. To find him on Facebook, type in Cosplay Jesus.
Rainbow Brite
Booster Gold
One highlight was the return of Ernie Hudson to the convention. He recognized me from last year, and I gave him my condolences for his friend and Ghostbusters castmate Harold Ramis who passed away in February. And here are photos from what I felt were beautiful tributes to Harold’s life, memory and career.
The Ecto 1A from Ghostbusters II
Other celebrities that were there were Kevin Sorbo (Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, Andromeda), Erin Gray (Buck Rogers in the 25th Century, Silver Spoons), Billie Piper (Doctor Who, Secrets of a Call Girl), Cary Elwes (Glory, The Crush, Robin Hood: Men In Tights) and the duo of David Yost and Walter Emmanuel Jones (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers). I tried to meet them, but the lines were long, especially for David and Walter. Maybe I will see them again. I did attend the Pro-Wrestling Today Panel which was fun, in wich I was instantly recognized by the moderator Joe Carabeo, and panelists Ben Taylor and Dan Nokes. They also had DC101 FM’s Mike Jones as a guest panelist!!!. They had video game room that I forgot to visit, but my little brother told me that I didn’t miss much (YIKES!!!!!). Here’s another standout photo:
From what I can tell, Catwoman joined the Justice League!!!!
This was a grand three days, and I’m ready for NEXT YEAR!!!! Here are more photos, ENJOY!!!!

On Saturday of last week, my little brother and myself attended what was billed as Washington, D.C.’s first ever comic book convention Awesome Con. The event was held at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center. The promoters thought it would have a small turnout, but it was much larger than they expected (YEE-HA!!!) The celebrities who in attendance were Ernie Hudson (Ghostbusters, Ghostbusters II, Oz), Billy West (The Ren and Stimpy Show, Ren and Stimpy’s Adult Party Cartoon, Doug, Futurama), Nicholas Brendon (Buffy the Vampire Slayer), Phil Lamarr (MADtv, Â Samurai Jack, Â Futurama) and Theodus Crane (The Walking Dead). They were there to take pictures and sign autographs, but the visitors and myself were told that it was not free, but I did get a chance to talk with the legendary Ernie Hudson.
Another celebrity who was in attendance was Larry Hama, who played a big part in the revival of Hasbro’s G.I. Joe in 1982. It was his designs of the characters that were seen in the comic book series that was a big hit with Marvel Comics from 1982 until 1994. The series was under name G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero. I had the chance to speak with him as well. There were panels, one of them was the ongoing debate of Star Trek vs. Star Wars, and I missed that one.
The one panel that I did participate in was about professional wrestling!!! I caught some heat during the panel for wearing a Hulkamania t-shirt that I got last Christmas, but I told them that it’s MUCH, MUCH BETTER than John Cena’s new t-shirt. Afterwards, I did shake hands with all three of the panels moderators, and became friends with one of them on Facebook!!! Another feature was Sci-Fi Speed Dating, that one I sat out and watched. There was also a costume contest, but a lot of people were unable to get in.
This two-day event was a wonderful celebration of comic books, movies, television, anime, art and popular culture in general. I am one of many who can’t wait until next year!!! While I didn’t take a lot of photos, here are some below that I did take. Enjoy!!!
