Promotional Day at SOPOCU Con in Jackson, MS

We spent a lovely day out with Dalek Erik promoting Dark Smalek's imminent arrival at the fledgling SOPOCU Convention (SOuthern POp CUlture) in Jackson, MS this past weekend.  Saw a lot of fun cosplay, met a bunch of nice folks, Dalek Erik got invited to be in a commercial for Geekonomicon, and was asked to exterminate large groups of humans at a movie theatre sci-fi event in the fall here in Jackson, and generally had a FANTASTIC time.

A big thank goes out to Bryan Tibbetts, who helped with loading, unloading, and guarding of Dalek Erik while his oogly bit was wandering around pretending to be Doctor Who (Some Daleks just can't stay in their transport devices and have to have DELUSIONS of grandeur... O_o).

An additional note...there is a bit of a buzz starting about Smalek... excitement, happy faces, engineers peering at the pics of the innards as they are being finished one by one.  Hopefully soon we will have an idea of when he will emerge from the workshop.  In the meantime, please do go like the Facebook Page and join Project Dalek if you of an engineering mind or if you just love Daleks SO VERY MUCH (which you are required to do).  The Build Diary on PD is listed under MrsCarleigh's NSD-Dark Smalek and has an awful lot of information as well as helpful nods from the experienced builders.

Lastly...Dalek Erik won the Costume Contest in the kids' division.  Congratulations are in order, even though insane Daleks are the actual scourge of Skaro...

Dalek Erik is an inmate of the asylum...he thinks he is The Mighty Thor. *eyeroll*
