Above you see the video of the epic road trip your humble blogger took two weekends ago. In just under half an hour I take you from Dunbar to Caryville, Tennesee, to Calhoun, Georgia, into Atlanta for JoeLanta, back up to Richmond, Kentucky and then on to Columbus, Ohio for PowerCon and MEGO Meet.
I intended to have this video ready for you a week ago, but the trip took a lot out of me, which you can probably tell near the end of the video, and it took a while to clear enough time to actually edit the thing.
In fact, you’ll get to see your PopCulteer go through several wardrobe changes (the trip took five days), a few different hats and glasses, and astute viewers ought to be able to see where my Myasthenia Gravis flared up and made me all squinty-eyed. Also, I messed up when I did the title screen you see above. We actually left on the afternoon of August 9.
It was a fun trip, but we’ll never do another like it again. 1,200 miles on the road in five days is just too much. By the time we hit PowerCon we were basically DOA and only lasted a couple of hours. Cramming this much into one long weekend basically meant that everything was a blur.
I do have loads of leftover video from JoeLanta and PowerCon, and you’ll probably get a couple of “raw footage” clips in the coming weeks. I also still have a video in progess from The Kentuckiana GI Joe Toy Expo back in July that I need to finish, plus I’ll have a short video of Chris Dortch’s amazing USS Flagg Modification job.
But for now we have the above travelogue, which is scored with copyrighted music, so I had to post it in an unusual way to avoid torching my YouTube account. Hopefully that doesn’t create any technical issues. If it does, let me know in the comments and I’ll try to fix it. (Update: I’ve switched out the original video with a smaller file that should play much more smoothly).
Below we have a few teaser photos, but there are many more photo essays in the pipeline. Just be patient.
