January 2005

January 1, 2005 - American Pro Wrestling hosted the (first?) Johnny Weaver Iron Man Tournament. There are a couple of photos in the gallery of Johnny - I'm not sure where the rest of the pics are from the night. This was the last night I used the Sony Mavica camera. 


By the next show, Jan. 8 I had moved up to the Nikon D70 Digital SLR.  It was leaps and bounds better than what I was used to. I slowly learned what I could capture with it. 


In Mitchell's Mess & More news: 1/2 of Mountain (me), Coastal and Piedmont were all able to get together at the Mad Monster Expo held in Concord, NC August 22-24. Mad Monster (the MM Party in February) is where Tre and I were reunited many years ago from our 'rasslin days and it has become an annual tradition for all of us to get together, enjoy a Red Lobster lunch on Saturday - support the awesome charity: Scares That Care, see old friends and hang out.


September sees MMM debuting in Havelock, NC on Saturday, the 6th at the Brothers Boyd - Friends of the Comic-Con III and then I'll be joining the tables at the Southeast Collectors Showcase in Concord, NC on Sept. 20 & 21. 

The gallery below has photos selected from APW shows on Jan. 1, 8, 15 and 22.  The show was snowed out on Jan. 29 per my notes.

Speaking of notes, take a look at these original booking sheets from APW, Jan. 15 & 22:
