Monster Bash 2013

[Rex Honey]

This is going to be my first Bash! Really looking forward to it.

And here I thought I wasn't going to be able to find any horror events once I moved to Pittsburgh....

You should have a really good time.  Monster Bash is smaller, but that's its charm.  It's cozy and family-friendly.  I went to a couple about 5-6 years ago.  I wish I lived closer.  I've met Pat Priest, Janet Ann Gallow, Donnie Dunagan, Kyra Schon, Bob Dix, Cortlandt Hull, and Bill Diamond--and they are all very personable.  UMA member, Daniel Horne, is an astounding artist.  Davi "The Rock" Nelson is an experience. 

We look forward to hearing how you enjoyed yourself.  You'll even run into some UMA members if you look carefully enough.

To all you Bash-goers, be sure to stop in the Creepy Classics room and say "Hi."

Check out Bob's Bin of Bargains  (OK, my last shameless plug!).

And the Bash Boys, fresh from touring (?), go on Friday at 10 p.m.

To paraphrase Mr. Tor Johnson: "Time for go to Bash!"

OK - I'm mostly packed and definitely in the Bash frame of mind.  I still have one appointment to do at 8am.  Then it's up to PA to visit my Grandmother and help out with the Tractor Club mailing labels (I do temp work in my other life).  Then FRIDAY=MONSTER+BASH!
Hope to see some of you there.

Bash was "fantastic" as usual, I have a few photos up: https://www.facebook.com/michael.joyner.940/media_set?set=a.10200348084367247.1073741827.1308897497&type=1

Fangtastic photos, thelatewinslowleach! 

Yes, I will gladly travel 530 miles to the beautiful mountains of western Pennsylvania to the Monster Bash and if I had to travel farther I would! The guests are always first rate and the programming sure to please!  This year I even got to give a presentation on Forrest J Ackerman!  I also entered the Braintwister contest.. for the third time.. I always win something but I never get to win first prize... this year that went to thelatewinslowleach!!

Bash, as always, was amazing! The new hotel is really nice, and the dealer room was enormous! When I first got there I thought the film room might be a bit small, but it worked out really well-good sound and sight-lines anywhere you sat.

Ron and the crew almost worked themselves to exhaustion to provide a great Bash experience. It's too bad there were still some fairly sizable delays, especially on Saturday night. I noticed a few occasions on Saturday afternoon where guests could have been asked to cut short their presentations to keep things on schedule, but I guess Ron doesn't want to stop a show that is going well.

Great job this year by the Abbot and Costello tribute show! The fans were very enthusiastic and they guys seeemd genuinely pleased to be at the Bash to do their shows.

Can't wait until next year!!

Been working the Bash since the beginning, and this one rocked! Best part is catching up with good friends. Whether I'm doing a Q&A, playing with the Bash Boys or shamelessly pitching Bob's Bin of Bargains, everyone is just wonderful!

Thanks, all, for bashin'!
