I think it would be nice to have a place here where we can all post info on various conventions going on throughout the world so that we can all keep a heads up in case we plan on attending. It can be any type of interesting convention... from horror to sci-fi or whatever. To start things off... Flashback Weekend www.flashbackweekend.com/index.shtmlJune 27-29 Rosemont, IL (just outside of Chicago) And here's one I REALLY wish I could attend!!! Texas Frightmare Weekend www.texasfrightmareweekend.com/lifetype/February 21-24 Dallas, TX

FYI everyone--
The hotel for the Chicago convention (the discounted rate one) is sold out. I myself will be looking to hotwire.com or priceline.com to book a nearby hotel. Just wanted to give you all a heads up.

Also at ScreamFest 2008 there will be a Dawn of the Dead 30th Anniversary Reunion with:
George A. Romero Ken Foree David Emge Scott H. Renniger Gaylen Ross and Mike Christopher (Hare Krishna zombie)
For me that is now a big deal! Gopher, any chance you will be in Orlando for this?

At the con last weekend I saw a flyer for this exact event and my heart stopped! I really REALLY want to go... a DAWN reunion is something I've wanted to experience for many years. The only issue now is money... I can't drive to Florida, so I'd need plane tickets... plus with hotel, food, etc... it adds up. But believe you me, I'm very much looking into the situation.

Awesome!
For me the Dawn reunion is a bonus, I'm mainly going to see Angus, which is something I have wanted to do for 20 years.

Gopher,
Cheaper flights down here are from Orlando-Sanford International. It is not actually in Orlando, but it is close. I am more than willing to help you with transportation to and fro. I know that the Wyndham has rooms for the convention at $99 a night (super cheap for the area) for convention people only. I will help however much I can.

I will look into flights and such, and if my budget will allow me to make it down there, I definitely will. Thanks!

Hey guys, got a message to pass along to everyone...
Angus Scrimm, Reggie Bannister and A. Michael Baldwin are all slated to appear at the Fright Night Film Fest from August 15-17 in Louisville, Kentucky. There will be a Q&A session along with an actual drive-in screening of P1 and they've scored a vintage 35mm print of the film. Cast will be in attendance.

I don't start til September 24 there's a chance I might be able to go to this one even though I already saw Reggie and Michael at Flashback, but chances are really slim I have to be saving money for tuition. PhantasmPhan

It's quite of a drive, but not too far that I can't go there. We'll have to see when it gets closer. But as of right now, things aren't looking to good.

So.... this weekend in Louisville, KY with Angus Scrimm, Reggie Bannister and A. Michael Baldwin. Anyone coming? What if I sweetened the deal by saying *I* will be there? Still no takers? Darn. Well... I will be there. If anyone comes, stop by the Phantasm tables and say 'Hi'. How about the next weekend in New Jersey. It's just Baldwin there.... but what if I sweetened the deal by saying.... aww, forget it. I'll be there tooo. Again, if anyone attends, don't be a stranger! You'll know where to find me. edit: Fright Night in KY and Monster Mania in NJ for anyone curious.
