I kind of want to go to a convention and cosplay as Sparks McGee.
… I need to figure out how to make a rainbow uniform that will fit me.
The best photo I got of the Sparks McGee cosplay at Ottawa Comic Con 2013. I had such a great time at the con, and Wil Wheaton is so awesome. When I went to buy a lil’ Wil plush and have it signed Saturday morning, he looked really really tired so I didn’t trouble him, just said thanks and went on my way. :) I hope him and Anne enjoyed Ottawa, even after their flight disasters!
The world needs more Sparks McGee!!
If I can dream up another hundred or so of these, I might have a book like Vader & Son ;) Maybe call it “Sparks McGee: Mother’s little man”?
Say, while you’re here, why not stop in and donate to my wife’s MS Walk for the Cure:
YOU GUYS YOU GUYS YOU GUYS
Because I just can’t let such a good idea go to waste (and since now it’s actually February): Sparks McGee Valentine’s Day cards! Or, any day cards, really. Valentine’s Day is overrated.
(Thanks to my friend Jesse for the last two phrases.)
THESE ARE AMAZING!!!!
Supanova wrap up
The two of us had a fantastic time at Supanova Pop Culture Festival.
First thing we did was go see Wil Wheaton, of course.
(At this point he didn’t know who we were ;D
Then we got him to sign our fabulous pictures of Wesley~
(At this point we told him who we were. And my! What he thought of that!)We also found a cardboard cutout of Commander Riker!
Pfft, no-where as cool as Sparks McGee.
We finished it all up with a little Q&A by Wil Wheaton.
Not a 100% accurate transcription, but part of it went a little something like this:
Random guy: So, imagine this. The Enterprise is in danger, its safety has been compromised. What would Sparks McGee do?
Wil Wheaton: Sparks McGee would jump into his muscle car, ripping a hole in the fabric of space. He would travel through there riding a skateboard grinding it through the sky being real cool, and then he’d nose-dive into a pit of bikini models. The bikini models would try to take off his hat, but NO ONE touches the hat. THAT’S what Sparks McGee would do.So clearly we had a most excellent time. We hope all of you get the same opportunity in the not too distant future to do the same :)
(p.s. this is our 100th post :D)
These young women are the best. Sparks McGee wouldn’t be what he is without them and their tumblr.
So because, earlier this week, Wil Wheaton reblogged a bunch of awesome pixel art, I decided to give it a try. Since Mr. Wheaton sorta inspired me make a pixel picture, I decided to make a little Sparks McGee giving a pointing thumbs up. Sorry for the uninspired background, I’m lazy.
