Food-Inspired Crafters & the Quest for Food at 2011 Hal-Con Sci-Fi, Fantasy & Comic Convention

Zombie egg cup by mixed media collage artist Isabelle Pineau

I love talking about supernatural TV with my sister Shannon on our podcast Hexed: Sisterhood of the Supernatural. What you may not know is I am actually not just a freak about the paranormal and all things spooky, I am also a very passionate foodie.

So zombie egg cups?! I was absolutely in my element at Hal-Con! Some of the work was so exceptional and downright genius, I just had to share these brilliant people and their work with you. I also try to unsuccessfully strangle Bender at Boston Pizza!

Digital Artist and Miniaturist Erin Glidden



I immediately gravitated to Erin Glidden's crafty table. When I saw these super adorable foodie charms, I wanted them! They were intricate, adorable and absolutely fabulous. I just had to buy some and I did! Right away! They were one of the first things I bought that day and for only $1 each?! I bought six. Not only does she make the most adorable charms, Erin is also an incredibly talented graphic artist.

Pretty soon you will be able to find more charms in her and her partner's Etsy shop Geeksahoy. They did warn me that they had removed all their items so they could sell them at Hal-Con so make sure to come back in a week or so when they restock their store because you are going to want to check them out.



Once I had paid for my merchandise I had a chance to really speak with Erin and discovered she is also wonderfully charming. It made me all the happier to buy her pieces and showcase her here.



I spoke to a woman who had been wearing one of Erin's glitter charm bottle pendants and she had broken it open by accident. She went back to Erin who replaced it for her which was so kind. It was clear from how she spoke to me the woman truly adored her blue sparkly pendant bottle. They really are little treasures.



The detail work is so well done. If you thought decorated cookies was challenging, try making foodie miniatures. There is no way I have the time or patience so now I am going to make my own necklace with Erin's beauties. I bought five food-related pieces and one bottle of vampire blood!

Mixed Media Collage Artist Isabelle Pineau 



Isabelle Pineau made these astounding, scary and super-cool egg cup holders. She told me she ended up doing them completely by hand, just going with it and seeing what happens. As a result, every single one is absolutely unique and I adore them!



Looks like Isabelle also brought all her wares to Hal-Con but make sure to go check out her Etsy store An Oddity or Two in a little while. According to her bio on Etsy, she also makes collage and mixed media "curiosities." I love the sound of that!

Lily Meadows of Rustic Revolution Pottery



I can not tell you how excited I was when I saw these cauldron mugs! Could there be a more perfect mug for my Halloween foodie posts?! As tempted as I was to purchase one of these handmade beauties by Lily Meadows, I could see myself breaking it before I even got it home. We had so much gear and I was so tired, I just could not take the risk. Check out the "Cauldron Ware" on her site!



I laughed with wicked glee when I saw this "Sookie is Mine!" mug with dripping vampire wounds on it. I could hear Eric Northman's voice from True Blood say the phrase in my head as I read it.

Shannon and I are huge fans of True Blood and one of these days we are going to catch up with the latest season for Hexed!



As a huge Dr. Who fan, ever since I was a little kid, I could not get over the craftsmanship involved in the making of these stunning shiny Daleks! These were so eye-catching and beautiful, I loved them. But Daleks still kind of freak me out. They scared the crap out of me when I was a kid! Still, these are amazing!

OMG, WE ARE STARVING!



Our second night at Hal-Con was a tad challenging. I should have done like the sign said and grabbed some of these candies when I had the chance:

"Seriously, take some! They aren't poisoned. (Even if these signs looks like they were written by a serial killer...)"


Hanging out in the car with Bender's head eating the trail mix and dried apricots I bought

Instead we walked to the car for a snack which gave me a chance to sit down. On Saturday we had been so thirsty because there were no working vending machines so we brought a water bottle on Sunday, thinking we were so smart. What we did not realize is how few restaurants were open Sunday evenings!



We walked everywhere and finally someone mentioned that Boston Pizza was an official sponsor of the con and was open. My costume for the day was Kenzi from Lost Girl. A kick-ass Torontonian goth thief who was so hungry at this moment she could eat her own head!



Reg was still carrying Bender's head with him to the restaurant. He had been mobbed all day when he was in the costume and must have had his photograph taken a thousand times.


"Not everything is always about you Bender!"

Like Bo, Kenzi was starting to get a little tired of being the sidekick nobody noticed! She discovered that strangling a robot with no neck in public was not as easy as she thought it would be.



Reg ordered the chicken fingers and I got the individual Bacon Double Cheeseburger Pizza and an iced tea. Normally I never get anything with caffeine but I was desperate and thank the foodie gods that Boston Pizza allows free refills! Reg enjoyed his chicken fingers and my pizza was super tasty with lots of sauce, just the way this foodie likes it.

One of the highlights of the dinner for me was seeing a guy wearing a bullet proof vest with the word, "WRITER" written across it. Reg and I immediately shouted out, "Castle!!!" It was one of the only contemporary television costumes at the con next to mine. Very cool.



Oh to have full bellies and no longer be dehydrated. Next year? I am bringing a ton of my own food and beverages and staying in a hotel somewhere so I can collapse a few times during the day.

This year we got so lucky with the weather which was sunny and quite mild for November. A weather miracle for Halifax in November. Still, next year, more food and a big cozy bed! Oh and more shopping, lots more shopping...

Robert Maillet Q&A at Hal-Con 2011 Sci-Fi, Fantasy & Comic Convention

You may not recognize Robert Maillet right away. A lot of the time he is covered in scary makeup and wears wild costumes. If you have seen Sherlock Holmes and 300 (who hasn't?) then you have seen this larger-than-life actor perform in some of the biggest movies around.

He was the first Q&A at the 2011 Hal-Con Sci-Fi, Fantasy & Comic Convention. For a horror geek, it was absolutely amazing to get to know the man behind the makeup.



He began his career in wrestling in the W.W.F. and demonstrated his signature move "The Claw" on Inner Space host Teddy Wilson, which was quite hysterical and the crowd loved it.



Robert plays chokehold specialist Frankenstein in the film Monster Brawl which aired at the Toronto After Dark Festival this past fall.

"The legendary undead giant is resurrected once more to awkwardly lumber his way to victory and reclaim the monster throne." 



His character takes on werewolf, "A vengeful and ferocious combatant, Werewolf was once a man who willingly transformed himself into a monster in order to eradicate evil."

To find out more about the film, my sister Shannon and Hexed podcast cohost wrote about how the film came to the Toronto After Dark Festival. So check it out!



I was so excited that after all this talk about supernatural creatures fighting each other, Robert took a moment to talk a little about how he feels about monsters in general.



One of the biggest benefits of going to a con is hearing people's behind-the-scenes stories when filming a movie. We found out while Robert was doing a scene in Sherlock Holmes he accidentally knocked down Iron Man Robert Downey Junior. Maillet was absolutely mortified, worried he had actually broken something.

Robert Downey Junior eased his mind by sending him some champagne. I got the sense that Robert Downey Junior misspelling Robert Maillet's last name on the card made him feel a bit better about the incident.



When they opened the floor up to questions, I had the opportunity to ask a Hexed-oriented one! I asked him since he plays so many supernatural characters, did he believe in the paranormal? He answered that although he has not had a personal experience himself, he does like believing in the possibility of the supernatural.

You can hear me laughing throughout his answer quite a bit. I was thrilled he talked about the movie Paranormal Activity! As someone who sits for hours in a makeup chair for the majority of his movies, he was impressed that they made such a scary horror film with no gore.



You know Shannon and I love CanCon so I was excited to hear that Robert's new movie A Little Bit Zombie was filmed in Sudbury:

"Infected by a virus during his bachelor party, a mild mannered HR manager attempts to fulfill his overwhelming desire for brains and avoid Max, the obsessed Zombie Hunter hot on his trail."

Zombie humour seems to be a genre that is growing and growing these days! I wonder if this is one my co-host Shannon the Movie Moxie will get to review?



I love the story Robert shared that occurred during the filming of 300. To save time, instead of sitting in a makeup chair for hours it was suggested he sleep in full body makeup on his back. In the morning he had to have someone escort him through the hotel to help prevent him from accidentally terrifying the guests. What a life!

Although he spoke about how much fun it is to play bad guys and that it is "fun to be decapitated," Robert was very charming. When I found out he named his greyhound in homage to Ripley from Alien, one of my favourite characters ever, I just could not stop smiling. When asked about the looming Zombie Apocalypse he answered, "Might as well join them." I laughed my ass off.

Most of all, his speech about not letting anyone tell you what to do or who to be was very moving for me. He said to believe in yourself and dare to be different. Wise inspiring words from a man who successfully plays some of the scariest monsters around, who has always loved genre films and is now living the dream and acting in them.

As a supernatural television enthusiast, I was so excited to hear that he is open to performing on the smaller screen. I would love to see him on Lost Girl, Supernatural, Haven...!!! So many shows to choose from. I have no doubt he would be scary and absolutely fantastic in any of them. And you know Shannon I would talk about them on Hexed!

Opening Ceremonies of 2011's Hal-Con Sci-Fi, Fantasy & Comic Convention

The 2011 Hal-Con Sci-Fi, Fantasy & Comic Convention began at 9:45 on a cold but beautiful Saturday morning in downtown Halifax. On November 12 to be exact. The con began with an adorable short film of a robot's origin story and his quest to find a place where he belongs.

The scene photographed of Nelson the robot waiting for the ferry to take him to Halifax had the audience fill the room with wild laughter at such a familiar experience. The humour was quite ingenious, the quality of the film fantastic and the acting quite adorable and funny. We were all thoroughly entertained right from the start.



You can tell Reg and I were absolutely entranced and super excited to be at the con. I had only been to a tiny one in Vancouver years ago. Reg used to go to Hal-Con when he was in high school and has missed them ever since.



You can watch the introductory film here. Charming, hysterical, speculative and well, we just love any story that has robots. So cool to have a Canadian robot's perspective!



The short concludes with Nelson finding "his people/robots" who take him to the con, assuring him he will feel at home there.

I told Reg that I really felt the film was quite symbolic. Always an outsider, loner, closet literary goth geek who is also a foodie... Most of my life I have wondered where my people are? Just like Nelson.


After a weekend at such a creative, wild, fun and friendly event, I think I found my people/robots too

It was a great start to Hal-Con and I even got to hang out with Nelson for a little while. As a former employee of Canada's Wonderland, I can officially say I have never seen a mascot character as beloved as Nelson.

He truly represented not only the spirit of Hal-Con but all the supportive, talented and slightly obsessed (in a good way) fans who are completely passionate about their particular genre of fandom. I was proud to have my photograph taken with him!

It was only just the beginning of the convention and we were already having the most amazing time! We felt completely at home.

Unofficial Blog Post about Hal-Con in Halifax, Nova Scotia Day 2

Video of us leaving to go to Hal-Con for Day 2. I apologize for the close-proximity of my face to the camera. There is only so much room in the car and after all, this is not an official blog post.

My husband Reg and I drove downtown to Hal-Con 2011 Sci-Fi, Fantasy & Comic Convention again this morning, all geared up with costumes. His was Futurama's hysterically obnoxious robot Bender and mine was rogue Goth thief Kenzi, from the TV show Lost Girl. I had been given the exciting opportunity to represent Hexed, our podcast about supernatural TV, for Hal-Con. It has to be one of the coolest events I have ever gone to.

So why do a non-official blog post? Because I just gotta talk about Hal-Con! I survived an entire weekend there, had so many adventures, have so many stories to tell I am bursting to share! But I also have to go to bed and recover (thanks fibromyalgia, you bonehead).


When I took this photo I had not even had a chance to put on my black Kenzi wig yet!

Once we got to Hal-Con we immediately got Reg dressed up as Bender from Futurama (which had all sorts of crazy challenges, post on just the creation of Bender to come soon) and got in line for him to get his number for the costume contest.



These were the third version of Bender's pants and they immediately disintegrated after signing up for the contest. They had to be put together with duct tape! Oh duct tape, you were our hero today.

I have now officially been introduced to the madness that is costume-making for a con. The obsession, the endless costume malfunctions and the creative problem solving. Like duct taping my husband into silver pants. I am glad I kept my costume simple because keeping up with Bender was a big job.



Yes, a lot of my day was focused on keeping Bender on track but that is definitely part of the convention experience. I took a ton of photographs of other people's costumes too, so many fantastic outfits.



I am so glad we had a chance to attend Erin Gray's Q&A. I loved watching Buck Rogers growing up and her character Colonel Wilma was one of my favourites on the show. (I actually could never figure out why everyone loved Buck. To be honest, he kind of bugged me.) Erin's personal story moved and inspired me so much. I just can't wait to share more!

We also went to young adult paranormal fiction author Kelley Armstrong's Q&A. We got there a little early and I just had to flake out on the floor. Two full days at a convention when you have fibromyalgia is almost impossible. Somehow I made it. And I was brave and strong enough to go to the microphone and ask a question after I had a chance to sit down for a bit. Photos, videos and insights to come soon!

We of course attended the much-anticipated costume contest and stayed until the very end to hear the results! The costumes were absolutely top-notch and here you can see the Jules Verne Steampunk Association of Halifax Steam Punk winners were looked unbelievably gorgeous. More to come on what I learned about Steam Punk at the con to soon!



Unfortunately I missed J. G. Hertzler's talk on the main stage this morning. Unfortunately, while General Martok (OK, that is how I think of him) was being interviewed, I was attempting to keep Bender's shiny metal ass from falling apart. Thankfully I got a chance to see a bit of Hertzler's giant personality and wild character at the end of the night during the closing ceremonies. Video to come soon!


It was quite clear that even though the lights came on, everyone wanted to hang out and not go home just yet

Yes, Hal-Con Sci-Fi, Fantasy & Comic Convention is officially over but the story has just begun. I will be writing about the workshops, interviews, costume contest, vendors... You name it! Officially coverage begins tomorrow morning once I feel human again. If I feel human again. I did sit next to a zombie mom and baby during a workshop about the paranormal.

What a weekend! It was one of the best of my life but this geek has got to go to bed. Real blogging begins Monday morning, fingers crossed.

Hal-Con 2011: Sneak Peek!

Please note! Although it may appear differently, this is not yet one of my official Hal-Con 2011 post for Hexed. Got home tonight exhausted, had the most amazing first day, uploaded all sorts of cool videos and photographs and have so much to share. These are just fun and potentially silly snippets of our first day at the con. Official posts to come soon!



One benefit (I suppose) of living with a sleeping disorder is I was up before 6 am getting ready to pack all my camera gear, note pads, markers, i.d., changes of clothes, MP3 recorder... way ahead of time.

My husband Reg and I drove to downtown Halifax representing Hexed, the podcast about supernatural TV that my sister Shannon and I record on a weekly basis. I had gone to a con many years ago in Vancouver, British Columbia, that was quite small. Reg assured me this was going to be much, MUCH bigger.


Nothing like a hot chocolate with a shot of hazelnut to start our day at the convention

We fortified our bodies and spirits with a preliminary trip to Starbucks in Scotia Square where we parked for the day. It was a convenient location since the convention was across the street at the World Trade and Convention Centre.

We were there from early Saturday morning until around 7:30 pm and the parking cost us $20. It was absolutely worth it. We could easily get to the car through the mall, stop for a bite to eat and pick up water, something I wish we could have purchased at the con.



At 9:45 on the main stage the convention began with a charming video of a lost monster robot trying to find a home, his identity, meaning... It was deeply symbolic. He found his happiness reflected in the uncanny resemblance to the Old Town Clock on Citadel Hill but then were picked up by some very cool famous friends and brought to Hal-Con. A very happy ending.



From there things got a tad darker but in a good way. I took this photo at one of the vendors' tables: "Die, Zombie, Die!"



I can not tell you how much fun it is to shop with women walking around carrying weapons and guys dressed up as Star Wars characters.



What would Hal-Con be without Star Trek?! This year the Kag Kanada Grand Assembly was held on the main stage and there was even bagpipe music!



Creepy gothic artwork was everywhere... my favourite! This piece was especially freaky. Love it.



The amount of talented artists in attendance was downright impressive and the best part? Many created art right in front of our eyes.



Where else can you go and see Darth Vader, Freddy Krueger and V watch a fencing demonstration by the Society for Creative Anachronism?



Yup, that is right! Saturday day passes sold out. The place was absolutely packed with people having such a fun time. I have no idea how I survived the day but I got to go get some sleep so I can cover the rest of the convention tomorrow.


Hanging out with a Dalek from Dr. Who

Not to worry! I will go from this Annie (Being Human)-inspired relaxed outfit to dressing up as Kenzi from Lost Girl. Can't wait to do more coverage of Hal-Con for our supernatural TV listeners dressed up as a character we adore talking about on our show. So much more to come. Seriously, I have a ton to write about and share, it's crazy and awesome!



Here is a super sneak peek of the interview with Nicholas Brendon who, of course, played Xander from Buffy answering the question: vampires or zombies? He clearly has issues with zombies. So much fun...

Good night!
