2018 SDCC Interview with Heather Insley

Greetings Outlander fans! At SDCC just before the Outlandish Fan Panel, I was lucky to snag an interview with Heather Insley, admin for Outlander SoCal Edition.  Turns out, this group has been around since 2013 and has been instrumental in promoting all things Outlander. They’re on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube!

Good news! You do not need to live in Southern California to join this welcoming group!

This is my interview with perky and warm Heather. Pssst……she loves to wear knitted caps, but light weight ones, as soCal can get a wee bit warm at times. <G>

The deeply grateful,

2018 San Diego Comic Con

Greetings Outlander fans! Not too many Outlander activities at the San Diego Comic Con, but there are some.

Dropped by the Cryptozoic booth. Creative mastermind George Nadeau agreed to a brief interview about Outlander offerings this year.

Cryptozoic is a company which specializes in collectable cards, games, board games, trading cards and comics.

Cryptozoic has created a Jamie doll this year. He can be purchased by going online to www.cryptozoic.com. He is available to everyone. 

See Jamie’s figure in action here! https://youtu.be/rAq7qSh_Hsw

This year, Cryptozoic is also offering three Outlander wardrobe cards. The cards include swatches of the actual fabrics used to create a particular garment worn during Outlander, season 3.

At present, wardrobe cards are available only at comic cons where Cryptozoic has a presence. If you are unable to attend but have a thirst for one or more of these cards, ask a friend going to a comic con to pick some up for you. Alternatively, they can be found online from private buyers, but be prepared – the private cards are super spendy! 

George, Jody Kawamata-Chang and I send you greetings from inside the SDCC exhibit hall! Thanks to Jody Kawamata-Chang who served as our videographer.

Signing off for now!

The deeply grateful,

Happy Birthday Rabbie Burns!

Happy Birthday Rabbie Burns! In 1786, he penned an impassioned poem to Scottish representatives of the House of Commons. Its final stanza:

Scotland, my auld, respected mither!
Tho’ whiles ye moistify your leather,
Till, whare ye sit on craps o’ heather,
Ye tine your dam;
Freedom an’ whisky gang thegither!
Take aff your dram!

Claire shared these words with Jamie who, as Alexander Malcolm, printed them in 1765. Roger traces him to Edinburgh! Way to go Roger and Rabbie!
