Tuesday, February 06, 2007 A Long Time Ago...

I just rediscovered a pic of me & my mom. I was 16 and we were on our way to The Rocky Horror Picture Show. As you can see, even back then I had a thing for fake blood! Oh what good times. My mom wouldn't dream of going to see RHPS these days. It would be too "sinful."

Texas Frightmare Weekend

Last year I met Bill Moseley at the Texas Frightmare Weekend. He was ever so nice & personable. I of course was starstruck & acted like a dork, all gushing over him. Oh well, at least I got to meet him & get a hug.

Here's a pic of Bill:


I also met Betsy Palmer, Tom Savini, Irwin Keyes, and Stu Charno of F13 fame. I got them all to sign my Crystal Lake Memories book.
I then got to meet Bill Hinzman from Night Of The Living Dead. As soon as he sees a camera come up, he goes straight into character. Fantastic!!!



This year the Texas Frightmare Weekend will be held June 22-24 and will be featuring appearances by George Romero, Adrienne Barbeau, Bill Moseley, Sid Haig, Kane Hodder, & Doug Bradley. I'm sure the guest list will be growing in the coming months!!!

Creepy Sculpture

I found this sculpture pic on CNN's offbeat photos site. It's so creepy, but I'd love to have it!

"Mask II," a larger-than-life self-portrait sculpture by Australian Ron Mueck, is on display at the Brooklyn Museum in New York. Mueck, a former model maker for television and film, is known for his lifelike renderings. (CNN)

Geocaching

I recently started Geocaching while out camping. It's a fun little activity where you essentially go treasure hunting with a handheld GPS. You type in the coordinates of the cache you're looking for & then hike to the location. Then it gets tricky. You have to search high & low to find the cache, which may be as small as a film canister or as large as an ammo box. They are usually camouflaged and hidden in all kinds of location like in a hollow tree stumps, under rocks, underwater, or cleverly disguised right in plain sight. So far I've found 5 caches at Cedar Hill State Park. Once you find the cache, you sign the logbook & take or leave an item. Most of the items I've found so far are small trinkets, like hotwheels, plastic bugs, coins, etc... Soon I'll be setting up a couple of my own caches. I'm going to have a generic cache with typical items and I also want to setup a couple of themed caches. One is going to be a Halloween/Friday the 13th themed cache with fun items like spider rings, glowsticks, fake blood, etc.. Then I want to setup a Star Wars themed cache with action figures, trading cards, etc...

I also got a couple of Travel Bug dog tags to place in my caches. Once someone finds them, they will transport them to another cache & log them on the Geocaching website. As these Travel Bugs move around, I will be able to track them on the Internet & read people's stories about how they found or placed them.
