Ok - it's now Saturday night - close to 7:00 and i have to make my way back for the Wes Craven event.
I stopped by the Suicide Girl booth and bought a couple of books and got a shot of the girls..
I also stopped off to see Jeremy Bullock - the man who played Boba-Fett ... another super nice guy. Class act too. He was selling a book "flying Solo' that i wanted ... hardcover.. in a box sleve .. signed and numbered - out of 2000.
if you bought the book you got a signed picture too so i had him sign one for my son and told him i'd be back in the morning with my boy who really wanted a picture with him (which was completely true)
I think at this point i got Shawnee Smith to sign my copy of Summer School. (Fuck Saw) I dont know why i bothered really. too expensive - she was miserable. I had nothing to say at all..
then off i went ...allll the way back where i had just came from .. and across the street to a bar where Wec Craven would be meeting up with the folks who paid for the special event ticket.
Not i have to say that earlier - someone i wont mention was saying how much of an asshole Wes Craven was - rude to his fans, etc. (at the time i was thinking - great - i wasted a lot of money for this ?)
mind you earlier that day i did get into his signing line to get a movie signed for that bloke in the UK and Hills Have Eyes for me. (i would be getting something else signed for free at the meet & greet later) He seemed like a pleasant enough guy there. Also i had my pic done at the photo op - and he seemed decent there as well ...
So i get to the meet and greet and sit at a table with a fellow - right beside the small reserved table where Wes would be meeting his fans. Very few people there.. they couldnt have sold more than 20 of these tickets..
I had a great chat with the fellow i shared a table with. I was tired and rambling - so the poor guy was probably losing his mind - but i really enjoyed myself - it was the 1st time in 2 days i relaxed - even had a couple of guiness (it was an irish pub after all)
when it was my turn to sit with Wes (they pair us up in 2's which as a bit fucked) i found that he was a very nice guy - easy to talk to and we got to chat quite a bit ... (he kept going on even after the rue morgue guys told us our time was up ... so he was in no hurry to move us along personally. very laid back and chatted like a regular guy.
after my companion and i keep chatting until everyone else had gone .. very nice evening - i really enjoyed myself.
My wife and sone had gone out for dinner in the meantime - brought me something back to the hotel. I ate, chatted with the family, checked out some pictures i took - then fell asleep exhausted about 10:00.
A guy i know paged my fucking phone at 11:30 ... woke my wife and i up - and i couldnt get back to sleep so i read Jeremy's book until 2:00am.
not a good sleep that night.
