My Texas Fun Day Out Experience!!
Now that the dust has settled and I'm feeling a little better (Due to my wisdom teeth) I figured it was about time I make my official 2013 FDO post!!
First let me start off by thanking Brian and everyone at Funko for making such a terrific company and give us Toys that we can all relate to. And thanks for being such a generous company and sending out all the goodies. It's amazing how a toy company can bring so many different people together! Without Funko I wouldn't know some of the amazing people I have come to call family!
Jacob
You made TX FDO. You were the driving force behind the whole thing and you set out to have the biggest and the best, and your mission was accomplished 110%
I want you to know that I felt very privileged and special because you called me several times before FDO and asked for my personal opinion, that meant a whole lot to me.
Me and Shantay were both a bit nervous because this was out first Funko event, but the moment we got to Big Lou's you made us feel very welcomed!! We felt like family the whole trip! Thanks so much for all the hard work you put into the event! We had an absolute blast!!
And thanks for all the goodies!
Including the 6' Pink Hair Freddy Pop Cutout!! He made it home safely!
Kroffty
Dave it was so great to finally meet you! You too made us feel very welcomed and very special! It meant a whole lot to me to know you made the Bumble necklace with me in mind, and made the Pooh Bear one with Shantay in mind. Made us feel like we were part of the Funko elite! I also wanted to say thank you for making sure that Alice Proto ended up in Shantay's hands, it really meant a lot to her and that really means a lot to me! You are a fantastic guy Dave and it was an absolute pleasure to hang out with you!
Bumble wears the necklace with joy and pride!!
Bear
Ahh George it was sooo great to finally meet you in person! You've been a great friend to me on the board and it was so awesome to hang out with you and your family! I can't even begin to thank you enough for the wonderful gift that you have to me and what makes it even better and just down right crazy is, I seriously told Shantay 2 days before FDO that I wanted to try and get ahold of one of these. When you told me it was going home with me I think I almost p*** myself!! Bear you are truly fantastic!!
Seriously thank you so much!!
Bob I've said it before and I'll said it again, your custom work is top notch!! I really enjoyed seeing them in person!!
Tony is was great getting to meet you! I hope you had a great birthday with us!!
Billy I'd never talked to you before FDO but man was it a blast! You can't not meet Billy!! Fun was had!
And so many others it was great to meet you and hang out!
Josh, Chris, Ruben, Phil, Bill, Pat and Brian (I have a great picture, but Jacob said it wouldn't be posted so I'll keep it hidden away!! Lol) I really enjoyed meeting you all and chatting about Funko!!
Seriously this FDO was such an amazing experience and we had such a fun time!! I agree FDO needs to happen every year!!
Thank you to everyone who made the Texas FDO amazing and special!!

Re: My Texas Fun Day Out Experience!!
Great recap Justin. So glad you had such a great time. The Texas folks sure sound like one hell of a group of Funatics--and your token Delawarean, too.
Bear, pretty amazing gift. That's a whole lot of Freddy love.
