Famous Monsters Convention 2010, Indianapolis, IN

I hear you, Scatter!  Although I always call Georgia the bowels of the USA, so now I'm gonna rethink where I live. If you're in the armpit I guess I live in the rotator cuff ?

[Scatter]

I'm serious Scatter...You missed your true calling which should have been writing travel brochures for Florida! 

Correction my friend.........that would be writing travel brochures on getting OUT of Florida.

I was going to call Florida the groin of the USA (it certainly has the requisite shape) but I decided against it. But now I see the error of my ways. Georgia can be the armpit, being due North, and Florida can be the groin. The other armpit would have to be Texas.

  Scatter, I think you & Charp13 need an anatomy lesson.  Either that or maybe the deep South could be a Universal Monster!   LOL!

Yes.... The South was sewn together poorly!

Announced today, on the FM web site and FB page:

Stop the presses! THE WORLD'S MOST FAMOUS MONSTER ARTIST Basil Gogos will be gracing the Famous Monsters Convention July 9-10 at Indianapolis, Indiana with his inimitable presence. Gogos, as you almost certainly know, is best known for his classic portraits of horror monsters (like the Creature of the Black Lagoon, Dracula and Dr. Frankenstein's monster) and actors (Vincent Price, Christopher Lee and Bela Lugosi, to name a few). His hyper-realistic, detailed, and wildly colorful style and morbid flair has led to him being called "a Bizarro world Norman Rockwell."

  Those of us who are going to the Famous Monsters Convention.  We need to set a time and place to meet and take pictures.  Those who have T-shirts need to wear them.  That way, others in the UMA can find us, plus there would be a little subliminal advertisement for our group.
  What do you all think of the idea?

I'll be attending the Famous Monsters convention too. I'll likely be traveling with the Fright Night Film Fest Crew, but I've spoken to Donnie Waddell of Wondefest about going as well. Like many of you, I've been sceptical of this new Famous Monsters rebirth, as I know next to nothing about Phillip Kim and his motivations. However, I've been given some secret, as-yet-unannounced information about the new Famous Monsters of Filmland that gives me reason to be VERY EXCITED about the direction of the whole franchise and its future. I can't say anything yet, but its possible there will be an announcement at the Con you wouldn't want to miss. You can say, "I was there!"

If anyone wants to be in a UMA group photo, (good idea, Uncula!) please send me a PM (or post) what days you'll be there. I think sometime would be best.

Max, are you going to be there?

Tease!

[The Drunken Severed Head]

Max, are you going to be there?

Yes, indeed!

[Fester]

As usual, living in the subtropical armpit of the United States precludes me from attending. Florida is close to nothing.......except Cuba and Hades.

Now, don't go sugar coating it.  What do you really think?

[Elizabeth]

Looking forward to seeing friends at FM next weekend...

And especially looking forward to seeing our buddy Joe Moe, and attending the Forry tribute!

Be sure to attend the Saturday screening of DR. JEKYLL AND MR. HYDE. I'll be doing a Q & A with star/writer/director Mark Redfield beforehand.

If anyone has seen the film, or others Mr. Redfield has done, feel free to post or pm some questions! (Please try to do by late Wed.) If I use a question by one here, I'll be sure to credit you-- and of course that'll give me a chance to plug the UMA!
