on a whole the con was fun ... i met a lot of great people ..
the After Dark folks, the folks at Severin, and of course the anchor bay people were all great.
I bought a ton of new DVDs and got a lot of old ones signed.
I found the guests to be friendly and laid back.
there are others i met .. Avery Brooks, Walter Koenig, Roger Corman, Barbara Steele.. (roger Corman was pretty quiet but then - he's getting on)
Barbara Steele was kind of funny - she was obsessing over the pen she was signing my DVD cover with. "i'll not sign another DVD with this pen !!"
the convention on saturday was a nightmare- they got a capacity crowd for the fist time ever - had a giant lineup outside the door. it was cramped and i was hot and tired from lugging around my camera bag, another bag full of books and crap to get signed, plus 2 bags of the DVDs etc i bought.
i saw 'Return' - or should i say he saw me. I wouldnt have known who he was in a million years but he knew who i was and stopped me to say hi.
It was impossible to talk for long .. we were in the middle of the vendor area where it is like the flow of a river - keep moving ... and i was already exhausted by then. i went to bed each night with my shoulders and feet aching ...
but - that aside .. i still enjoyed all the opportunities i got.
next up ..
a small series of photos featuring Thomas Dekker reacting to the gore scenes in Laid To Rest.
(my kid was right there watching these awful things - i kept placing my bag in front of his face and he kept looking around. I looked right into Thomas Dekkers face and said - 'Great, he'll never sleep again' which Dekker thought was pretty funny. Sue (anchor bay) was mortified that my kid saw the scenes - but he ended up being cool with it. (i've always shown him how special effects work)
