MAJESTICON Comic Con Sunday, October 26, 2008! Sometimes we receive an invite or a promo for an upcoming comic con or pop culture show that is of short notice to us, and thus we can't give our blog readers much advance notice either. The Majesticon is one that is happening this upcoming weekend, October 26th in the Northglenn/Denver Colorado area. This Comic Con is one day only at the Ramada Plaza Convention Center. Please Note: neither Tina or I have been to this comic con before so we can't give our thoughts on previous shows at this venue. However an added plus is that another collectibles show is happening at the same time in the same center. That would be Dana Cain's Collectors' Supershow. Admission to that show is free when you purchase an admission to the Majesticon. The Guest List to the Majesticon includes: Comic book artists Daniel Crosier, Kevin Genrilcore, Alex Meyer, and Zach Meyer. There is no mention on whether or not there are any panels or programs at this one day con.... However, there are dealer tables there with comics for sale. Add in going to the collectors' show in the same center, and there should be several items of interest to see. If you live near the Northglenn / Denver area, and have wanted to attend a comic convention, this one day affair could be the one to get you into the 'comics world' if you aren't already... For those of you that are new to our blog today, we also have an ongoing 'Comics Show and Pop Culture Convention' ourselves here at "Make It So Marketing Inc.", what with our daily blog posts and new listings of items for sale in our online store! Thanks for reading this blog post today, and please join us again for more! Note: If you work in the comic book industry or other pop culture productions, you are welcome to email us press releases, news items, and updates that you feel would be of interest to our blog readers! | The Majesticon Comic Con: When - Sunday, October 26, 2008 From 10AM to 3PM Where - Ramada Plaza Convention Center, Northglenn/Denver Colorado - which is 10 minutes north of Denver - 20 minuest from boulder - 30 minutes from Littleton or Loveland.

So What Are We Watching This New TV Season? We have received yet another email asking where our single episode reviews on this new 2008 TV Season are this month! Well, it's this way folks! Tina and I are still watching our favorites from last season, and added some new ones this TV Season. However, due to the WGA Strike last year and how it affected our viewing / blogging habits, our interest in reviewing single episodes just hasn't been rekindled! Additionally this New Season's Premiere episodes have been strung out since the beginning of September, with other shows not starting until January 2009! Plus we have found other bloggers that are just blogging about one show, and are referring our blog readers to them for that type of info. Such as JOpinionated's blog on the 'Lost' TV Show. (Click here to see more On Jo!) However we have blogged about a few TV Shows and what our initial thoughts are on those so far, (see the above right next column boxes for those reviews). So what are we currently watching?SUNDAY - Desperate Housewives, Brothers & Sisters MONDAY - Chuck, Heroes, Boston Legal TUESDAY - House, Fringe WEDNESDAY - Pushing Daisies, Knight Rider (Michael watching only) THURSDAY - Survivor Gabon, Ugly Betty, Life on Mars FRIDAY - Nothing (Just viewed premiere of Crusoe, not for sure if we will follow that) SATURDAY - Nothing (Unless we missed an episode that is being re-run this night)
The above are basically just the prime time TV Shows that we currently watch. When they return, we will also be watching 'Lost', '24', 'American Idol', and 'EUReKA' for sure! In the list above we didn't include the SD Charger football games or the Philadelphia Eagles football games that we also watch. Also, Tina is waiting for the Phillies to appear in the World Series baseball series. (Tina is from the Philly area.) Also not included above is the extensive Election 2008 coverage that Michael is really into, including all the Debates. We watch basically the cable news networks for that type of info. So, due to the reasons explained above, we aren't currently blogging individual episodes like we did before for: Heroes, Lost, Survivor, American Idol, Chuck, etc., at this time! Additionally a few of our favorites will not be returning: Journeyman, Jericho, and New Amsterdam. For those of you that are new to our blog today and can't make it to a Comic or Pop Culture Con, we have an ongoing 'Comic Con and Pop Culture Show' ourselves here at "Make It So Marketing Inc.", what with our daily blog posts and new listings of items for sale in our online store! Thanks for reading this blog post today, and please join us again for more! ~ Michael Note: If you are involved in comics or other pop culture genre, and have an upcoming comic book, graphic novel or other release or are holding an upcoming convention that may be of interest to us and / or our blog readers, feel free to email us! | For four of our TV Shows reviews for this season, just click on the top boxes. At the top left is Tina's Take on 'Life On Mars', and at the top right is Tina's review on 'Fringe'. Bottom left is 'Sarah Connor Chronicles, and bottom right is 'Heroes'.

So this blog post is to summarize and present all the links to the blog posts we have blogged thus far (in our eBay Blog Format only) about either Leo Carrillo, his Ranch, or the Cisco Kid Comics and / or TV Show. Those blog posts are: TV Western Comics With Photo Covers The Leo Carrillo Ranch Part 4 (Cisco Kid and Pancho) Kooky 'Kook' The Pig at The Ranch.... We Hit The Milestone Last Night!

| Above is a photo showing the actual swimming pool on the ranch with Leo and his wife 'Deedie' relaxing by it! They entertained many Hollywood Stars of their time by the pool. The ranch was so large, and at the time so far away from Hollywood in the back country of Carlsbad, that the film stars would come down with their 'Airstreams' and camp in an area near the Cabana for several days at a time!
