MONSTERPOOLOZA- DAY ONE!

[gracebuster]

Eliott Brodsky is doing an amazing job with the show. Day one went so smoothly and I tell you, this is one forr the ages!

To see all of these icons and talent in the same room is unbelievable.


However, the weekend began on an exciting note when Skerchock, Aaron and  discovered and reported put out a fire on the side of the road. Thus insuring that MONSTERPOOLOZA would not burn to the ground!




The Opening Ceremonies by MONSTER OF CEREMOINIES, Verne Langdon was very enjoyable.



Jim Warren "passed the torch" to Elliot B and suggested that he should carry on in the tradition of the Original Famous Monster Conventions form the 70s!



Then they unvieled Tom Woodruff's loving recreation of THE KING KONG that was originally made for the MOVIELAND WAX MUSEUM IN NAIGARA FALLS!










BTW, Here is another gander at the origianl as it stood in 2007.






Our pal, Don Post was there basking in the fun. (with Verne's ex wife, Dawn)



As for the museum, heres a taste. More to come later.

Thanks, Danny, for posting the photos.  This has been one of the MOST fun weekends I've had in a LONG time.  Seeing so many friends and acquaintances, being overwhelemed by the BEAUTY of the sculptures and artwork, and impressed by how KIND everyone is...I am proud to be a part of this culture.

Danny's house was great...again, meeting new friends and enjoying the company of like souls.  Thank you to everyone for your giving spirits!

Sara Karloff and Sparky dropped by on Saturday.  What a treat to see them!  Verne Langdon is a sweet bear of a man...loved meeting him for the first time.

And a special shout-out to the Chaney family...a nicer group you'll never meet.  Wonderful individuals, all.

Missed you, Robert, George, Brother Tim...one day soon...

Ahhh...back to real life soon...

It looks like a ton of fun.  Thank you everyone for posting pictures.  Will this show always be in Burbank, or will it move around the country?  I would certainly like to attend in the future.
