Thank you, everyone!!

Meeting Danny was, truely, amazing! We met him at a signing for his new wine/vodka line, and he had strict rules that if anyone wanted a picture, they needed to lean over his table and snap one; also, he was not to get up from the table for any reason. Well, when he saw us, he threw his hands down onto the table, pushed himself up, and announced "Now, I've gotta meet THESE guys!" Literally, every camera in the house whipped out and flashes surrounded us. He actually talked with us for about 5 minutes (MUCH longer than anyone else), signed our equipment, and told us "You guys are doing a great job. The packs look perfect!" I think I'm finally recovering

The Ecto 1 is one of the most awesome vehicles I've ever been privy to even seeing, let alone driving. You can't go down a road without turning nearly every single head, and you can't stop anywhere without someone wanting to snap a picture. I don't complain, because it's so damn surreal, and be assured, every smile I give is pure and sincere; I wouldn't trade this for anything!

Two of our guests came as ghostbusters last year. They made their packs from canister style vaccum sweepers that they had picked up at the thrift store and gutted. They blinked and bleeped and even had their own soundtrack haha

My 4 year old son was a ghostbuster this year. He watches the old cartoons on demand. You know the ones from the 80's. I used to watch those so it was great.

We ended up buying a proton pack and trap and some other things off ebay. I'm not into the whole blow up pack, so we found a retro one in good condition. My son is in love with his ghost fighting supplies.

Red Hallows, very cool to see the newer generation into Ghostbusters
And with 2009 being the 25th Anniversary of the first movie, and talks about GB 3 in the works, ghost fever is at an all time high

I'm saving my pack and uniform for GB 3 to hit theaters any year now!
