chiller convention

[XCoRyX]

its april 17th-19th i believe in NJ... i'm actually really digging the line-up for this one,some really obscure guests and a few familiar names as well i'd like to grab. thinking of hitting up the train and heading out to it for a day...any other schmoes attending? if i'm going solo i wouldn't mind grabbin' a beer to pass time with peoples.

I'll be there on Friday. It has a decent line up. I want to get Tom Atkins and Nancy Loomis to sign my The Fog DVD. I also want to meet Demolition. Darian Caine will be there, as usual, so I want to grab her new movies, Batbabe and IronBabe.

What day might you go??

[XCoRyX]

Friday would be my only option,they're saying they aren't selling tickets at the door on Saturday to cut back on the lines and stuff which makes sense. Just all depends on the train situation,if it takes too long i'm not going to feel like it, which explains alot of why I didn't bother going to this past MM (along with them having a weak line-up this time around in my opinion).

I'm thinking about going. They have several people I would like to meet including George Romero, Miguel Nunez, Shavar Ross, Darcy Demoss, Robert Rusler, Tom Towles, Jonathan Tierston, and possibly Bruce Abbott. I have a feeling Romero is going to have a long line so I'm contemplating going on Sunday when it's sure to be dead. This is only the first time I've seriously considered going to Chiller as their lineups have always seemed very random and inconsistent. Well thats all for now GOoD JOURNEY my fellow schmoes.

Friday is the best day to go anyway. I get the hour early pass. There is hardly anyone there until later in the evening on Fri. The longest I waited in line at Chiller was like 45 mins. I heard its a madhouse on Saturdays.

I also have to get E.G. Daily to sign my Powerpuff Girls season series box set. :D

BIG DISSAPOINTMENT! No Shepis this time. She's doing the Fango Con in L.A. the same weekend. :(

Thankfully the only people I really want to grab are the smaller/lesser known names...at this point still debating though of course.

I might even get Ken Olandt to sign my Leprechaun DVD, who knows,haha.

I won't be able to travel to chiller. Luckily, Horrorhound Weekend is only a hour and a half from where I live. Its a smaller convention, but it has had some cool people there. It's on March 27-29th in Indianapolis, IN. The original line-up was badass but there was a lot of cancellations (Thomas Jane, Tom Atkins, Heather Langenkamp). They added some cool people to replace them though (Clint Howard, John Kassir, Adrienne Barbeau). Corey Haim is going to be there as well, lol.

If you want to meet Haim. Just wait outside. He takes a smoke break every 20 mins.

Eh, just checked out the scheudling for the train ride to their and such, its about 200 minutes or so...doubt i'm going to deal with that long of a expedition to NJ/NY.

[teenkiller]

I've been wanting to go but with some recent financial problems it's definitely iffy. Pretty shitty since this is really the first time I have ever considered going to Chiller. Seems that I'll still have to hold off on meeting the legendary (in my eyes anyway) Miguel Nunez. Well thats all for now GOoD JOURNEY my fellow schmoes.

[XCoRyX]

Yeah financial aspects are killing alot of hobbies for people anymore...I just refuse to travel that fucking long to NJ/NY via train.

unless it's no more than two blocks away , i won't be able to go to any conventions in the near future .

i wish they would set one up on LI or at least Nyc . may have to do some grass roots stuff .
