Matt Refghi: Hi everyone, Im here with the Brady Bunch or part of the Brady Bunch, it would appear.
Carol: The parents and our main support Alice.
Matt Refghi: They have a very nice sign, I really want to point out. Theyre gonna trade their kids for beer, essentially.
Mike: Yes.
Matt Refghi: And it seems theyve already traded one.
Mike: We have. We traded one, yes. Was that Jan?
Carol: No no no, it was Greg, because hes 18, hes ready to move on.
Matt Refghi: Okay, so when it comes to trading so he was 18 okay, I see he was the most appropriate one to trade, because hes already almost out.
Mike: Correct, correct.
Matt Refghi: Would you be interested in getting, like, Vodka, for a certain child?
Alice: I would take Vodka.
Matt Refghi: Right and whats the criteria for trading children?
Mike: Alice does all the work, so she should really decide.
Carol: Alice gets all of the alchohol, because honestly I kinda just go out and go to PTA stuff and
Alice: He goes to work, she goes to PTA, but Im the one doing all the work around here, and Im the one who gets to say what we trade for, so yes, I would accept Vodka.
Matt Refghi: Okay, but were getting into a little bit of a grey zone, were talking about trading children.
Carol: Yes.
Matt Refghi: But its all in good fun.
Carol: Its all in good fun. We really do not have six children, so its probably okay.
Matt Refghi: (points to sign) You have five.
Carol: We have five, we have five.
Matt Refghi: Right now, right now. Youre working on that so thats great. Is this your first Dragon Con?
Carol: No, this would be our fourth Dragon Con.
Matt Refghi: Thats great, same here.
Mike: Alright, fantastic.
Matt Refghi: And where are you from?
Carol: Were from Atlanta. Alice
Mike: We live in Atlanta.
Alice: Im from Minneapolis, so I come and visit them, and we hang out and we come to Dragon Con every couple years.
Matt Refghi: Is it the first time you dress up together?
Carol: No, no. Last year we were nuns, but we were all different themes I was a zombie nun, he was a Jedi nun, and she was an actual holy nun.
Matt Refghi: (enumerating with fingers, thoughtful) Jedi, holy, zombie. How does the holy live with the zombie? Thats kind of like opposites.
Carol: Never, no, I ate her brains.
Mike: (laughs)
Matt Refghi: Oh, okay. But then is she (laughs) is she still a holy okay, is that why the costume wont be used again?
Mike: Yeah, yeah.
Carol: Yeah, its done.
Matt Refghi: Thats too bad, but it had its run.
Alice: It had its run, you know, it was a good time but you cant do the same thing every year.
Carol: Yesterday, actually, my husband and I were nominated we had a card to be for the wall of fame or whatever, we were Cleopatra yesterday, so the Dragon Con staff nominated us and had our picture taken.
Matt Refghi: Congratulations!
Mike: Yes, were so excited.
Matt Refghi: Good job.
Carol: So lots of Dragon Con.
Matt Refghi: Yeah do you foresee an end to your attendance? I doubt it.
Mike: (convinced) No no no.
Carol: Not at this point, unless they move it to the convention centre, at which point that might do it for me it needs to stay in the hotels. Im very solid about that point.
Matt Refghi: Yea, I like it too I like just wandering around. We come from up north, were from Canada.
Carol: Okay.
Matt Refghi: But we still fly down every year, so (laughs), its cool. Um, one more question regarding the costumes you had before: between the zombie and the Jedi, who would win? Because thats the two remaining contenders.
Mike: (recognizing the theoretical duel for its natural awesomeness) Ooooooo
Alice: I think the Jedi would win.
Matt Refghi: I would hope so, otherwise what type of a Jedi are we talking about?
Mike: (laughs)
Alice: Because hes quick and agile, and he has a weapon.
Matt Refghi: And he has exactly.
Carol: Zombies arent very smart, they just say brains and try to eat them. He would cut my head off before I could get at him, so I think he would, yeah.
Matt Refghi: Okay, but it depends is it a 28 days later zombie, or a Romero zombie? Like, fast or slow?
Carol: No, its more like a 28 days later zombie.
Matt Refghi: Okay, okay so its a fair fight, then, but the Jedi should win if hes competent.
Carol: Jedi should win. But in this battle, Im Mrs. Brady
Matt Refghi: You would naturally win.
Carol: I would win over him
Mike: No, no.
Carol: but Alice wins over all of us.
Matt Refghi: (Suddenly understanding) Ooooooh.
Mike: (laughs)
Carol: And by the way, if anyone wants to trade a kid, Jan is next on the list because she whines all of the time, are we in agreement on that?
Alice: Absolutely, Im tired of the Marcia, Marcia, Marcia business.
Carol: Its always about whining about Marcia, so were ready to get rid of Jan, so if anyone wants to give us a beer, we will give you Jan.
Matt Refghi: Maybe half a beer for Jan?
Alice: I would take half a beer for Jan, yes I would.
Matt Refghi: Thats bargaining.
Alice: At this point, late in the day, we need to work on this.
Matt Refghi: So, half a beer. (To camera) You know where to get to if you want a child. (To guests) Excellent, its great meeting you. Um, I hope you have a great con!
Mike: Great con already.
Matt Refghi: Thanks for interviewing.
