On May 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, I went with artist Mike Cole and my two older chidren, Sabrina and Max, to Des Moines for Demi-Con 20.It was a great con. I always enjoy spending time with Mike; I ran into my fellow author and acquaintance Glen Cook. I also made a lot of new friend like Tadao Tomomatsu.Mike introduced me to the Demi-Con tradition of late night karaoke.He sings a mean rendition of Tim Curry's part in "The Rocky Horror Picture Show".Here I am warming up since my daughter asked me to do a "Phantom of the Opera" duet with her.Here is Tadao Tomomatsu who, among other achievements, played Detective Furakowa on "Heroes".He sings well, too. He's a great guy and his sense of humor is an absolute hoot!Here is my beautiful daughter who stole the show, if I do say so myself, at the Karaoke.
