Sounds like we're almost on similar paths in terms of writing. (In my case, it's more BTS stuff since I've heard mixed reviews on the visual history picture book, which sold like hotcakes quickly).

Elijah LawsonI might reach out to Karan Ashley in terms of how to apply for volunteering or something of the sort sometime (ran into her last year after 14 years.  We met in 2009 at Anime Expo).

Erik Betts gave me some good advice on my nonfiction media history book project that I'm working on.  Use the reference of Kris Landis' book in terms of format and then go from there.

I think that the stuntmen and stuntwomen as well as suit actors of Power Rangers don't get as much respect and recognition in my opinion when it comes to doing the suits.  Despite the fact that most of them are from Japan and some of the actors and actresses know a few of them, I'm just saying that they're also a part of the community that I would say needs to be covered. Thankfully, Erik Betts was one of the people who I not only met at PMC but also at another convention called Comic Con Revolution.  He was one of the few that also told me the story about how JDF taught Thuy (RIP to them both) the fundamentals on making a kata, working on her stance, and the like behind the scenes and the one handling his booth was also recording our chat as we went from Power Rangers to other IPs he was in doing stunts (Avatar, Fate of the Furious [FF8]).  I should have asked about Batman Begins but that's for another time. [For those who don't know, he was Pudgy the Pig and also had a brief cameo with Bridget 'Babydoll' Riley in the episode Food Fight (Bridget was the suit actor for the Yellow Ranger in the 95 MMPR film)].

I had a great chat with him in 2022 at PMC on National Power Rangers day and Phillip Jean Marie (Max) was a couple of booths down from his and both complimented me on wearing the Howling Wolf jacket that I was wearing.  I still remember some of the stuff we spoke about and he told me he was more of a GI Joe and Transformers fan and didn't know about Power Rangers at the time (and I was perfectly fine with that).

I know that I'm late on posting this (a few weeks late) but, as a Power Rangers fan, to the founders of Fanward and Austin St. John, I wanted to say thank you.

So...I know that I mentioned about meeting the prop master Mark Richardson recently and I felt like sharing one of the items that I bought at his booth last year.  Some scripts from other episodes.  There was one that I found that had a signature on it and I was pleasantly surprised at who it was. (I couldn't pass it up).

Good memories.  I only went with a few of those back in the day.  Blue and Green.
