Nice. Now, if only it was someplace closer to me...
Looks like my dream to meet Bruce Campbell someday will stay a dream in this lifetime. Oh well.

I'm going to make an effort to be there. I'll be moving to London Ontario around the same time, so I'll be in the general area already - if I can find a cheap hotel + bus fare, I'll be there for sure.
By the way, that link is blocked here at work for some reason, so I couldn't check myself - what are the dates this year?

Florida SuperCon which is mainly a comic and anime con has Bruce, Ted Rami, and Tony Moore (creator of the Walking Dead comic). No where as good as Rue Morgue, but it is closer for me

Corman & Steele would be the draw for me. Of course Roger's my "friend" on Facebook- but he never answers my messages. :rolleyes:

I'm moving to B.C. in 4 days. If everything goes well I'll be back for it.

Those dates work really well for me. I need to move into residence at school literally the day after, so I can probably just grab a hotel room in TO for a couple days before that, then head right to school.
Looking like about a 90% chance I'll be there this year - and, considering I'm going to school to further myself as an actor, what better way to start off than meeting Bruce Campbell?!

My chances keep getting significantly lower. Job I was guaranteed is no longer a guarantee and no one my Mom knows will go with me. She's paranoid as hell so my chance of going is not looking so good. :(

Hahaha yeah she doesn't even trust friends I have known since kindergarten. I'll be like:
"Mom I'm going out to dinner with Derek, Dan and Andrea. I have my cell. It's charged and has time on it in case you need me. I will be back by midnight, don't wait up."
"Who's Andrea?"
"Dan's girlfriend."
"Who's Dan?"
"I've known him since Junior Kindergarten, Mom."
"First I've heard of him."
She's ridiculous like that.

Hahaha I ammm. I tried to move out and she pretty much begged me not to because I am the only person who can keep my brother under control, but also cause she can't live without me. Grrr grr grr. And I pull the "well I am 21" thing, but she pulls the "my house, my rules" bit.

so what you're saying is : if i do meet your mom - i should be wearing pants ?

That all depends on how you plan to persuade her that I should be able to go.

Whooo!!!
Just booked my hotel room! I'll be staying at the Fairmont, a block away from the convention. Heading up Friday morning and sticking around until Sunday, so I should be there to catch the whole thing.
Anyone else know whether or not they'll be there? I'd love to meet some of you fuckers if we're going to be in the same neighborhood for awhile.

Looks like I might be making it up there for Saturday, maybe Sunday. Staying with friends in Hamilton, then GoTrain to TO in time for entrance, leaving as the convention center's doors close, and back in the Hammer by 10, same deal on Sunday. We mathed it out and its cheaper than a hotel room.

Wonderful news!
If things work out and you do make it, we have to meet up. Briefly of course because it sounds like you'll be rushing around - but a hello and a handshake would be essential.

I can understand Tony Curtis [ The Boston Strangler ] but David Thomas?!!?!?

07-09-2009, 06:03 AM
the last couple of years they have been including Fan Favorites - nothing to do with horror or sci-fi.
not sure how they hell they got Tony curtis but Dave Thomas is coming courtesy of Anchor Bay in support of the Bob and Doug cartoon they are releasing..
(last year Anchor bay brought in some of the cast and filmmakers from Black Christmas ..... and Robert Hall)
mind you - if you really wanted to stretch - Dave Thomas was in that movie with Barbra Carrera about the salem witches several years ago .. supposedly a comedy - but pretty bad as memory serves

Tony Curtis...my dad used to be a big fan of the guy.
Whatever I have seen of him...(in The Great Race, The Boston Strangler and Some Like it Hot) he was good. Pretty good.
You are lucky to get to meet him, Urge. I ll eagerly wait for that pic.

This one got me excited too, and for Emma Caulfield (Anya from BtVS). They also added a bunch of comic book artist I really like. Georges Jeanty (BtVS comic) and Chris Bachalo (death: the high cost of living).
