| Man, Con Nooga was a dangerous place! I was attacked by a Tusken Raider, a Jawa stole my wallet, my wife ran off with a bounty hunter, AND I was nearly Force-choked to death by a Dark Lord of the Sith. (I bought Ami back with thirty pounds of Wookie hide.) Luckily, Spider-man and Spartan-420 stopped by to give me a hand. |



| Welcome To The First Annual CON NOOGA Con Nooga took place over February 22-24, 2008 at the Chattanooga Choo-Choo entertainment complex. The show was quite a success, with over eight hundred eager fans packing the various ballrooms and exhibition halls. Ami and I had an awesome time meeting and interacting with several of you! |


| We had the opportunity to meet April Burril, best known as the murdering maniac Chainsaw Sally. April was a really sweet lady, and Chainsaw Sally is a lot of fun for those of you who haven't seen it. |




| Here are some really dark and/or blurry photographs of the panel I did. The Joy Of The B-Movie did not draw a huge crowd, but the ones who came were ready to interact. I think I should have something more dynamic planned for my next panel. |


| As always, the "Conventioneers" have to catch a snapshot together. From the right, we have me (Daniel Emery Taylor), Sean Taylor (writer for Gene Simmons' Dominatrix and Fishnet Angel), Bobby Nash (writer for Fuzzy Bunnies From Hell and Domino Lady), Martheus Wade (creator of the super-cool Jetta: Tales Of The Toshigawa), and Robert Freese (horror author). |

| We had the pleasure of meeting Felix Silla, best known to the world as The Addams Family's Cousin Itt. He was also Buck Rogers In The 25th Century's Twiki and the Ewok Retah in Star Wars - Episode VI: Return Of The Jedi. |

| I had a great time hanging out with Chris .R. Notarile and his lovely wife Niki. They hosted a viewing of their film Methodic, and all I can say is: wow. |
