Ghosthead and “field agent,” Robert Knippels emailed us over the weekend with a recap from New Star Con.

Just wanted to tell you that I had a great day at the convention. I was in my ghostbusters uniform and I won the first prize. The good news is that I’ve heard that they will try to get some actors from Ghostbusters at the next convention. A lot of people wanted to have a picture with me and they acted like I was a movie star. In one word, it was great!

Ghostbusters International® sends our congratulations to Mr. Knippels on winning first place or the first prize. Maybe one of these days we should enter some contests. Hmm. If we get more information about anyone who was involved in Ghostbusters attending New Star Con or other events/conventions, we’ll post it here. Robert also took pictures and may be sending them to us. Or posting them over at our forums.

We’re not entirely sure if other franchises or fans attended Free Comic Book Day last weekend. We are 100% positive that Dr. Kyle Peterson, CEO of The Western North Carolina Ghostbusters made his annual appearance at Mountain Empire Comics (they do pay us for these plugs don’t they?) in Johnson City, TN.

From Dr. Kyle Peterson:

I did the usual ‘meet-and-greet’ with the vendors and customers, handing out GBI cards as I went. This would be me and John, owner of Mountain Empire Comics on Roan Street, pretty well the best lil’ comics store in East TN. (”Make sure that check clears.” - Dr. Venkman) After a while I locked my Proton Pack back in my Ectomobile and headed inside for more photo-ops….and to check out the sweet comics! After all, I did a ’spook check’ when I first arrived - what could I possibly need the pack for?

Find out why he needed his proton pack in this thread on our message board!

On April 8th, (see news above) Bryan Fear, CEO of Westcoast GBs and his staff attended the La Jolla Village Cinemas screening of Ghostbusters II. Someone bought a big slide of Vigo from the gift shop. And we’re not sure, we think Bryan was possessed. You know we charge the theater more when that kind of thing happens. For more of a recap, check out the pictures on the West Coast Ghostbusters site as well as our forums.
