| Welcome To The First Annual OmegaCon |

Me? Of
course I was
there! It was,
like, twenty
minutes from
my house.

| We kicked things off on Friday with "Mondo Movie Night," hosted by our friends over at Nightmare Theatre. George Hardy and I were on hand to answer questions about our respective films. (My buddy George, as you are well aware, is the star of Troll 2. It may indeed be the worst movie ever made.) We had a large group of enthusiastic fans of both films show up to ask questions and laugh along with us. |
| I've got fans! See? I told you! |
| I was too afraid to approach Richard Kiel ("Jaws" from the 007 franchise) so I had to take this picture of him at a distance. |
| Kane Hodder ("Jason" from several of the Friday The 13th films) tried to kill us. Literally. He literally tried to strangle us. He's a dangerous man. Watch out! |
| For just a moment in time, I was a Cemetery Surfer. |
| G. Larry Butler is the star of Frankenstein Vs. The Monster From Blood Cove, a clever homage to the monster mash-em-ups and atomic terrors of the fifties. It's a great flick, and a guaranteed fun time. |
| Keith Age is a The Return Of Swamp Thing fan. I respect that in a man. Keith's Sci-Fi Channel special Children Of The Grave aired recently. It was quite enjoyable and gives skeptics (such as myself) something to think about. Yeah, I still don't believe in ghosts ... but I love a good ghost story. |
| I first met Shane Moore at Con Nooga but never got a chance to catch a photo. Shane's getting much respect for his book series A Prisoner's Welcome. He's a super-nice guy and a lot of fun to have as a convention neighbor. |
| Richard LeParmentier, best known as Admiral Motti, best known as the guy Darth Vader force-chokes, was a true gentleman and someone I was really pleased to meet. |
