change of schedule: the 8:20 panel of SCTV discussion has been postponed until the following evening. eugene levy sends his apologies, owing to a last-minute american pie sequel.

Really liking the 2016 Bobsleds this year for Cool Runnings-era Candy lookalikes. You get a free mini bobsled if you stop by the booth before noon

this year I lost a lot of weight and thought I couldn't go, but I came up with a fun little twist and am now going as John Vegetables.

| personally, i'm a more than a little troubled by the "expanding waistlines, expanding opportunities" panel. i mean, i'm sure the industry's seen some slowing business in the last few years, but i think it really goes against the spirit off the event in entertaining the idea of opening the door to calling it "candy plus other fat celebrities con" | |

I am really pleased with the turnout today, I'm seeing a lot of faces here that I haven't seen in a long time. I'm sorry for the Chris Farley community's financial losses in recent years, but I'm happy that so many of you have decided to rejoin us.

This year I'm going as Satan John Candy from Planes Trains & Automobiles again. But with a sexy back cut out to show off my "You wanna hurt me? Go right ahead if it makes you feel any better. I’m an easy target. Yeah, you’re right, I talk too much. I also listen too much. I could be a cold-hearted cynic like you… but I don’t like to hurt people’s feelings. Well, you think what you want about me; I’m not changing. I like… I like me. My wife likes me. My customers like me. ‘Cause I’m the real article. What you see is what you get" Gothic script tattoo I got at the last con.

philip franker, of campbell hall, new york expressed similar concerns: "it seems like every year there are fewer and fewer overweight celebrities to imitate. i thought gabrielle sidobe and bobby monahan signaled a new wave, but now they're all health conscious and lost a lot of weight." when asked if he intended to follow suit, franker replied that he didn't see a reason as to why.

I'd like to register a complaint that once again, the Great Outdoors section is indoors.
