Grab your Gun and Bring in the Cat!

This weekend has been a total Blast! (Quiet TCF’ers!) We had the most amazing auction ever seen and I’m so proud to have been apart of it all.

So here is a recap of events of this past weekend. Monday through Wednesday the Propworx crew drove out to Pasadena and lifted stuff. A lot of stuff. Heavy stuff. Then came the putting together of each “set.” We spent alot of time making it look like the real thing for you guys, and I think we succeeded!  On Thursday, after a cup of hot Chocolate, (sorry, I dislike coffee!) I went down to get the final touches done before we opened the doors. Everything was set, the Cylon tub, (totally sat in it while cleaning the inside) the hanger deck walls, Kara’s paintings( I kept hearing All Along the Watchtower over there, weird huh?)  and of course, my weekend favorite, Lampkins dead cat.  It was all fun from then on as we opened the doers and everyone came in, like kids in a candy store. This time around we allowed everyone to get pictures in the Viper, and boy was that popular!   Even our guests from the show tried it! Speaking of, the highlight of the night was surely our cast and crew panels, which were so much fun! There were stories, video’s, a preview of “The Plan,” everything! It was a great way to end the day.

Day one of auctions was very exciting, we had a lot of amazing lots go up for great numbers, including Adama’s duty blues, which went for $12000 ! Everyone had a great time watching the bidders fight that one out as well.   Day one was also our first day with special guest Michael Hogan, who was very gracious and take pictures and signed autographs all day for fans. We also had Luciana Carro with us again, she had been at the panel Thursday and we were delighted to see her all through the rest of the auction. Day two and we were moving full Steam ahead, lots of great pieces! Luciana’s Top Gun mug, which went for over 3 thousand dollars, all of which goes to her charity. Congratulations!   Day 3, all of our sets went up, I’m sad to see them go! Adama’s couch, the pilots bunk, even the Pyramid game goal, all of it now has a home.

Now we go back to the lifting. Let me tell you guys, I got quite the workout, it took us almost three days to get everything out of there! Rest assured that it’s all back with us now and you will be getting it soon!  We have changed and refined our shipping process from last auction. All of our items were COA’d  , signed and stickered before we went to auction, so all that’s left is to pack it and send it out.   Please let me know how much you love your stuff when you get it, its been a labor of love for us, and we want you guys to be happy with your wins!

I want to thank Kurt and Becky at NBC Universal for making this happen and giving us the support to make this event what it was.  I’d also like to mention Alec, our CEO, who has worked very hard for these last few months, for being so fantastic to work with. Our team here at Propworx is very hardworking, and they are also some of the coolest people I know. Thanks to Steve, who did tons of work on Auction two, lots of late nights making sure everything was ready! Thanks also to our shipping crew, Curtis, Kellie and Matt. These guys will make sure you get your stuff fast and safe, they are amazing! Another thanks to my part timers, Thomas, Damian, Autumn, and Heidi for being so amazing and energetic, always willing to help with anything. Thanks to the TCF who are the best volunteers ever, I dont have words good enough for you guys! Finally, thanks to all of you guys who showed up and all of you who bid online! this job is all about bringing the show to the fans and you guys are the best and classiest in the business.   Without you I quite literally wouldn’t have a job, and I thank you truly.
