More stuff after the jump…
STUFF TO DO
You should know the drill by now. The pandemic is still not over. In fact, it’s getting a little worse again. If you are fully vaccinated and ready to do your best to stay safe, you should go check this stuff out. Outdoor shows are okay for reasonable and vaccinated people to go maskless. Indoor shows leave you at the mercy of your fellow patrons, and with the Delta variant surging, why risk any exposure? I know there are folks who hate the idea of wearing masks, even if they’re not vaccinated. Those people are why you shold wear a mask.
What you gonna do, brother, when the Delta Variant runs wild on you? Don’t let it. Vax up, mask up and then go out. Don’t be a freaking idiot.
Use your common sense and stay safe…and support the local scene. Here’s stuff you can do in and around Charleston…
The 2021 Kentuckiana GI Joe Toy Expo Customs and Dioramas
As I mentioned above, we will have video from the Kentuckiana show on Sunday. I’m also going to post a video I took at the South Louisville Antique Toy Mall. That place so overwhelmed me that I took three photos, and then ditched the camera while Mel and I alternated shooting video. Look for that Sunday.
That is this week’s PopCulteer. Check back for fresh content every day and stay safe, people.
