D-FENCE, D-FENCE, D-FENCE!

If Seattlest had an "Is this for real?" category this event listing would be firmly inside of it, and in fact we lobbied to have this category created but the argument that nearly every post on the site could potentially fall into it swayed the nay votes. Local novelty purveyor Archie Mcphee has been inducing riotously mild amusement with their action figures for years and Seattlest appreciates the Einstein, the Rosie and the son of god as much as anyone (which is to say, mild appreciation), but our response to Mcphee's Big Lo Super Fan action figure can be nothing but, "Is this for real?"

We're not particularly opposed to organized sports at Seattlest, but somehow we've missed this "400 pound fixture at every home football, basketball (NBA and WNBA) and baseball game." Apparently there's some distinction between Big Lo and the 20,000 other 400 pound fixtures at home football, basketball (NBA and WNBA) and baseball games. Who knew ? Well, the other 19,999 of them have an opportunity to meet the one guy who has risen to the top of the fandom world and had his dedication to the whole suite of lukewarm local sporting franchises enshrined in molded plastic. Big Lo will be making an in-store appearance at the Archie Mcphee store in Ballard on Sunday from noon to two.
