Spooky Empire 2009 Highlights
Girls of the con made the 600 mile drive this weekend to spend Sunday rubbing elbows with stars and fans alike. I put the pedal to the floor on the Magnum and we made it in record time. We arrived in Orlando around 4:30am, got our room, crashed out for 3 or 4 hours, then off to registration we went. My impression of Spooky Empire was that it is a great convention with alot of future potential. I went down with 3 goals in mind. First and foremost, get some great pictures for all the GotC fans out there, 2nd Meet Jason Mewes and get a pic and an autograph, and 3rd meet Max Brooks and get my "Zombie Survival Guide" autographed. I achieved all three goals. Now I know you are chomping at the bit for those pics and I promise I'll get to that but I just wanted to give a nods of recognition to some of the stand out folks that really caught my attention while I was there.
The amazing facepainting you see below was done by a company called Evil Fire Lizard, these guys are amazing. They were at our last Con-Tourage party at Dragon Con doing body painting on the ladies, good stuff! Speaking of Con-Tourage.. Andre, Mike, Pete, and Little1 it was awesome to finally meet you all in person and get a chance to get to know all of you a bit. Another standout group was the girls of FearGirls.com. I spent some time talking with XanaDoll and we talked about perhaps featuring some of the fear girls in our upcoming calendar. CROSS YOUR FINGERS!!
The costume contest was great, my camera was not liking how dark it was so I got only a few good pics in that area but I think they are awesome either way, Elvira, or "MaleVira" as I like to call him was a pretty awesome MC. If you attended I'll answer the question now, his boobs were fake. Saw him in the hallway of building 9 where I stayed, chatted for a bit, pretty cool guy/girl, very down to earth and friendly. Okay I've rambled on long enough..I know you are saying "Make with the pictures already lunchbox" so without further ado, here goes...
