June 27- Sven –Live (?!) and In Person- at Flashback Tomorrow!
Let me remind you that this weekend isn’t just ANY weekend- it’s Flashback Weekend! This is the yearly horror convention that everybody looks forward to- happening about a month earlier than usual this year- and I’m happy to once again be a part of it.
The convention goes from today-Friday June 27- through Sunday June 29- and I’ll be there Saturday afternoon ONLY.
An entrance fee for the convention is required, but, believe me, you will get more than your money’s worth, with all the great guests (the one and only Elvira-Mistress of the Dark- George Romero and a “Night of the Living Dead” reunion, Angus Scrimm – “the Tall Man” - and Don Coscarelli of “Phantasm” fame- Rob Zombie’s “Halloween” reunion- and so much more!)- events, AND the huge dealer room, chock full of horror merchandise- this is definitely the place to get great horror items you might not find elsewhere!
Right now, here’s our schedule- we will be signing autographs, posing for pictures, etc, from 2-4 pm. (Fair warning-PLEASE try to get in line early, because, if the crowds are anything like past years, we don’t want to turn anybody away. With that said, how would it be to have NO Sven fans show up this year, and I’ll be sitting at that table, with the sound of crickets in my ears, and a tumbleweed rolling through the atrium? I kind of doubt that will happen, just from the e-mails I’ve been getting…)I know our sponsor Horrorbles will be there every day, and be selling magazines, rubber chickens, etc.-and, last I heard, they will have Ted Okuda and Mark Yurkiw- the authors of the fine book “Chicago TV Horror Movie Shows: from Shock Theatre to Svengoolie” at the convention Sunday for a signing! And, yes, we will bring a limited number of Sven t-shirts for sale…not to mention free “U” and “Me-TV “ buttons! Then, around 4:15, I’ll head up on stage- hopefully have time for a brief question and answer session-not to mention making the first real announcement of what we’ll be showing AFTER the Universal package expires and then I’ll host the always amazing, always fun costume contest! I’m always astounded by the great creativity that our contestants
show in designing impressive horror costumes. Get a seat early for this one (AND the “Zombie Pin-Up Contest that will follow!)
I hope to meet YOU at Flashback Weekend tomorrow! Get all the information at www.flashbackweekend.com - and don’t forget to bring your camera!
