Monster Bash 2013

ALWAYS worth it!  - My Aunt, who is more of a Westerns fan than horror, often comes down and enjoys our festivities.

This year, I may be bringing my husband - new experience for him.

Excellent news! I think I am going to try to go then.

You won't regreat it, it's a fantastic event! the only problem is, you'll find it difficult to break away from the events room to do your shopping...or eating...or sleeping!! This summer will be by 7th year attending, and it's always a highlight of my summer.

Yeah that is the only thing I was worried about. I'm interesting in attending almost ALL of the events and that left me wondering when I was going to have time to go buy all the cool stuff that I want to buy. Haha!

Is there any problems getting a hotel room usually?

[Pauspy]

At this point I think the main hotel may be booked up, but this time there are apparently a number of other hotels very close by that still have room. You'd have to contact the hotel and find out.

I went last year and had an absolute blast!  I'm really hoping to have the money and time off to go this year.  Definitely worth every penny and every second!

Monster Bash is fast approaching! Besides myself, anyone else going for sure?

[godwinshelley]

I'll be there - and my husband is tagging along.  It's his first Bash.  He asked if we could have two sets of keys after I read to him the list of events, including the late, late night events.  I don't think he's as into it as myself.  I hope he at least comes to the "new wine" song. 

At least with him there, I might be able to leave the event with a little cash still in my pocket!

[Monster Kid]

Me!  I will be there, with some friends!

Bash-prep is in full gear. All the myriad details (lots of 'em) are being attended to. I gotta get Bob's Bin of Bargains together (lots of rare models & stuff this year) and practicing the Bash Boys set for Friday night (I think we're on at 10 p.m. this year!)

It's all sorta like descending  a steep ski slope -- with a jet pack on. That's about how fast things start moving in the weeks before Monster Bash.

They just posted today that the Ballyhoo documentary this year is about This Island Earth. Those guys are hugely talented documentary film-makers, and it's always a joy to see what they come up with. Also looking forward to the Skelton Knaggs dcoumentary. We need to get that guy a star on the Hollywood walk of fame. Seriously.

I've been catching up on Gregg Palmer's collection of horror roles (Zombies of Mora Tau, Creature Walks Among Us, From Hell It Came). He apparently also guest-starred in several Bonanza episodes-I want to ask him if he has any memories of working with Glen Strange!

[Monster Kid]

I will be giving a talk on Forry Ackerman and I will be doing it with Terry Pace!  If you have not met me yet... well, we warned you... you will see me there!

[Pauspy]

Thats sounds awesome Monster Kid! I can't believe it's only 2 weeks until the Bash. Getting the car tuned up tomorrow, wrapping up my work next week, and getting ready to BASH!

[Lonster]

Here we go again! Before long the Bash crew will be loading up the wagons and heading out from Vasaria to MARS.  I've been helping Ron with the Bash since the very first one, and each one has been special. This one's gonna rock (with the Bash Boys, of course!). Bigger hotel, a lot more space, more dealers, a beautiful movie room, all kinds of various events. And (excuse the shameless plug) Bob's Bin of Bargains!

It's like a big family reunion. Those who have been to the Bash know what to expect. For any newcomers -- well, fasten your seat belts!

This is it-last post before I drive to the Bash! I hope all Bashers have a safe and happy trip there and back. LET'S GET BASHING!!!!
