Was just eating lunch, and casually glanced over to my left and saw DARIO ARGENTO! Also, wearing my "Friday the 12th" tee; didn't actually realize that today was Friday the 12th! BOOSH!

MONSTER MANIA XIV: THE FINAL COUNTDOWN TO GLORY!

Well today is the day b-movie fans; Monster Mania kicks off in approx. six and-a-half hours! I scouted out the area ahead of time last night and know where I have to go to see the movies and meet the guests; most importantly, I know where the bar is. (HA!) I'm freakin' stoked (and hungry); 5 PM can not get here soon enough.

I'm also looking forward to meeting up with my main man Bill from Radiation-Scarred Reviews. Not only will this convention be a first for me, but this will also be the first time I meet a fellow online movie scribe. Together, we shall conquer Monster Mania XIV! Mwahahahaha!

Stay tuned for some bloggage from my cell phone, and expect a few photos to creep up on here at the end of the night.

Blog ya later gang!

Just drunkenly introduced myself to Jake Busey. Sorry Jake. Hahahahaha!

The anticipation is killing me: A day early for Monster Mania XIV!

Well I got here at the Crowne Plaza Hotel at about 1 PM, and my mind has been reeling ever since. Even after hitting up IHoP for some delicious pancakes, a quick visit to Wal-Mart (yeah, I come all the way to Jersey and where do I go? Wal-Mart of course!), and seeing (and enjoying) the fairly decent remake of "The Crazies" (it has flaws up the ying-yang, but it is definitely a step up from George A. Romero's low budget classic) I can't actually wrap my mind around the fact that I'm here. I am so excited; this is like a borderline religious experience for someone like myself.

Seriously, I just saw MALCOLM MCDOWELL signing in for his room down in the main lobby, and I swear to God I heard angelic voices sing "Hallelujah!" All I could do, was stand there stupidly with my jaw agape, as he genially checked in. Did I want to rush over and attack him with handshakes and fanboy praise? Oh hell yes! But I didn't; I'm saving all that for tomorrow.

In any case, I'm going to hang out in my room for the rest of the night, though I make no guarantees that I won't sneak downstairs at some point to scope out any other celebrity arrivals.

Well I best be going; stay tuned for more updates b-movie fans!

MONSTER MANIA TOMORROW! WOOOOHOOOOOO!

Malcolm Mcdowell sighted!!!!!

Just saw the remake of the Crazies. Actually liked it better than the original. Back to the hotel for some R and R.

Just about to enter the hive of scum and villainy known Philadelphia. Just kidding Philly; I love ya.
