Horrorfind approaches...
Aug. 11th, 2006 01:03 amGonna be leaving for Horrorfind in a few hours. I have a folder with Bub and Johnny material and am currently plotting what I'm gonna say to Mr. Romero, if I see him. God, I'm so nervous. If I get a chance to see Tom Savini, I may ask him for tips on effective Two-Face makeup. That'd be sweet.
It just occurred to me that this is a convention with actors and filmmakers, celebrities in a more real sense than even the biggest writers and artists at a comic convention. As such, these guys will all probably be charging for autographs. I'm so used to free autographs and photos from comic conventions that when I'd see, like, Kenny Baker (R2-D2) charging ten bucks for an autograph, I'd get rather indignant. Growing up around DC museums have kinda similarly spoiled me; even today when I go to another city, I feel a bit outraged. "You actually charge for museums?!?! You BASTARDS."
But these celebrities are here for the money. That's the bottom line, no matter how much they love the fans. Michael Rooker needs a new pair of shoes. Tony Todd wants someplace warm to sleep tonight. Rutger Hauer needs booze and moisturizer. Denise Crosby needs mace to keep horny Trekkies away. Lloyd Kaufman needs a meat-filled watermelon to either run over or have sex with, he can't decide which.
