uploading them now ..


the 1st wave will be the ones where my son and or I am in the pictures with guests ..

then i'll put up misc stuff. then i'll put up some of the people who dressed up for the event.

this was the least amount of people i've seen dressed for horror in the 4 years i've gone ... most were superhero or anime characters.

sadly - Toronto is not a horror town..

i'm catching up at work here - but as soon as i get a chance i'll be blogging here - along with corresponding pics ... but here's a small taste to begin with :



Wed night i get an email from my friend Chris. (Fango writer)

"are you and your camera free Friday morning ? We're having breakfast with Tobe Hooper"

It turned out to be 11:00 friday - long after breakfast - but we were on !


So it begins :


Friday Aug 22 9:00AM

- Stop at Drs ... get needle in knee. fun.

10:00AM
- drive downtown - get to hotel about an hour early
- sit in lobby - Sid Haig walks by (picking up mail) looks right at me - so i say 'hi'

10:20AM
- Chris shows - we sit and shoot the shit for a while - he calls Tobe's publicist and we're told he'll be down in a bit.

11:10AM (or there about)
- We're ushered up to Tobe's room ... it's about a 5 mile walk through winding corridors - felt like the scene in Spinal Tap where they can't find the stage.
We finally get there - and knock several times - looks like he isnt going to open the door.
- finally it does open and there he is ... a really nice, friendly, down to earth guy. It's a comfortable, informal atmosphere. The publicist leaves us 3 alone .. Chris thought we'd only need 15 minutes but we ran a lot longer as Tobe was very easy to talk to - making it less of an interview and more like a really interesting chat. I took a pile of pictures - playing with the light values ... got a couple i liked.

The article ran in the Sunday Morning Toronto Star - but they ended up using some stock photos - which didnt bother me in the least - i already know how these things work. I was just thrilled to be there. (and got to chat with Tobe myself - without feeling out of place) He was also interested in seeing the pics i took which i like...

so - here are a couple of the pics :



Chris and Tobe getting started







This is the pic that Chris, myself, the publicist, and Tobe himself liked and figured they would use.


More of Tobe later at the Con !

Thats pretty cool. Tobe looks awesome.

Think I know what happened to Des - he was feeling under the weather the last time we talked, so maybe he couldnt make it to the Festival.

Waiting for more, Dave. :)
