The Ride Will Resume Shortly
Posted by Trevor on June 28, 2010
Hey kids! I know, that was a long break! But I'm just about ready to start up again. I have many more stories to tell, and the YouTube channel has one last video clip that I'll post later. In the meantime, despite the break, our Facebook page has been hoppin'--it got a couple of hundred new fans! If you're not yet a fan, come join us! And the YouTube channel picked up new subscribers, including at least one ex-character. Hang tight--I'll post again soon.

One of the younger women, who could speak English, asked for Pinocchio's autograph on a paper napkin. I waited my turn to sign and watched as Pinocchio obliged and a smile of recognition passed across the woman's face and she said something to the group, which got a really positive reaction. I signed my autograph: G-I-D-E-O-N in a large script, quite easily with my gloved hand instead of the usual three-fingered furry mitt. But when she read it, she frowned and passed it along.
