I met Jim Byrnes once, back in my hometown. He came up once to do a blues concert. Really nice guy, great actor and musician.

TFcon seems to be a very popular convention to go to this year, as the con has just posted that a new hotel block was added to accommodate all the people set to attend. The information regarding the new hotel block has been copied below for you to read, and if you want the original source from the TFcon website, go HERE

Due to the huge demand for TFcon Toronto 2016 we have had to open up a block at a 2nd hotel, the Four Points by Sheraton Mississauga Meadowvale. You can reserve a discounted room by calling 1-800-368-7764 and ask to be confirmed under the group TFcon rate or book via the following link:
