Welcome to Nashville!

What makes the story even better is that we
decided, last minute, to load everything up
into the Taylormobile and make the
early-morning trip to the show.  I brought my
gear even though I was not a sponsored or
invited guest.  One cancellation later and I'm
set.  Get well soon, Tom Savini!

You never know where I'll pop up.  I could be
outside, on your lawn, signing DVDs right
now.

Isn't Ami adorable?
So, being Easter Sunday, the
crowd was incredibly small.  It
was all good, though, as it
awarded me ample opportunity to
schmooze with some people I've
always wanted to meet.

Michael Berryman (best known
for The Hills Have Eyes but one of
my favorites for his role in The
Devil's Rejects) was an incredibly
nice and charming guy.  He's
very funny and a great storyteller.

He called me a chickenf&%$er.  
How can you beat that?
Get ready for Swamp Thing III:
When Alice Met Darryl.  Adrienne
Barbeau was a very sweet lady.  
Ami had the great idea of us
holding the DVDs.  
Sideshow Bennie is a good old
fashioned geek of the highest
order.  Stapling things to his body,
allowing people to launch darts at
his bare back, and
sword-swallowing are all par for
the course.  I didn't see him bite
the heads off of any chickens, but
for the right price I'm sure he
could be persuaded.
Ami's got MMFWKL.
Tony Todd was a really cool and
laid-back guy.  He popped in late in
the day, so we were a little worried
he wouldn't be making it.  He did
and we were glad for it.
Dee Wallace Stone left before I got
the chance to meet her.  I did steal
her table when she left, though.
Every good show should have that one moment you take with you for the rest of your life.  We
had that moment when we were privileged to meet the legendary George A. Romero.  In a
world filled with Michael Bay and the Coen Brothers, most Hollywood-fed movie consumers
aren't going to be too concerned with Mr. Romero.  We know better.  The man practically
invented the modern zombie film.  Ghouls, or the walking dead, did not really exist in film
before Night Of The Living Dead, and that is something all horror fans should feel indebted for.

George was so nice and took time to chat with every fan.  He was a real class act and
someone I hope you all get to eventually meet.
