\"Abbie<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0 Yes, I know, it’s been over a month since I’ve written a blahg.\u00a0 I was sick last month and I spent the rest of the month getting better and then preparing for my holidays this week<\/span><\/strong>.\u00a0 The biggest part of all of that was also preparing for the annual Mississauga Transformers convention.\u00a0 My daughter Abbie and I have been attending for a decade.\u00a0 That’s a picture of us on the right at this year’s convention.\u00a0 <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0The convention, more commonly know by us in the know as TFCON is described as the following: <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

TFcon Toronto is the world’s largest fan-run Transformers convention, held annually in the Greater Toronto Area (Mississauga, ON). The three-day event features a massive dealer room, exclusive toy releases, celebrity guests (including voice actors and artists), and the Make-A-Wish Canada charity auction.<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n

Abbie and I first attended in 2016.\u00a0 We’ve gone every year with the exception of 2020 when it was cancelled due to Covid.\u00a0 It’s always in July and the 2021 July convention was postponed until December of that year.\u00a0 We attended that one.\u00a0 We did not attend the 2022 July convention because we had attended the December one and felt we needed a break.\u00a0 Jeanette and I attended the 2023 convention without Abbie because she was working in the United Kingdom that summer.\u00a0 We were back on schedule and attending in 2024 and 2025.\u00a0 Jeanette stayed in the same hotel in 2024 but didn’t attend the the TFCON but did make an appearance last year.\u00a0 This year Jeanette was managing the annual Quilt show in Prince Edward County on the same weekend as TFCON so Abbie and I went without Jeanette.\u00a0 <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0This year’s TFCON was a good time even though Abbie and I did not get chosen for the script reading or the game-show portion event on Saturday night.\u00a0 Abbie and I sat together and watched the game-show and made fun of the contestants and secret solved the puzzles together comfortably from our audience seats.\u00a0 We still joke about it.\u00a0 I managed to snag this quick video of Abbie’s script audition:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
