I totally forgot I took these photos until I stumbled across them today.Not really a good cross section of the fair just a few quick shots in between me crapping on about toys and getting bargains!

Can Damn Trivia survive the portal through virtual time and space?

Again I ask anyone who may be attending to let me know if they want to share a table with me.I will be selling all kinds of things and I hope to have a great time crapping on about toys to anyone who will listen.

The overall effectiveness of the Damn Toys ADOPT A TOY forum has diminished significantly and I have decided to replace it with this blog format.It saves me a lot of headache and money but allows us all to continue to communicate and share our love of collecting.Feel free to add comments and worthy contributors will be added as team members.
