I'm rather surprised there hasn't been any response to this. I've not been able to make it to the one in Portland, but the one here (which Andrew put on) was quite enjoyable, and I got to see a lot of things I'd not have seen otherwise. This being the original, I'd strongly urge anyone who is a Lovecraft fan and can go to do so....

... and, of course, to come back and give us reviews and news on it.

By the way... who else (the piping host) is going to be there?

[Allegra]

Yes please tell us all about it when it's over, Curt, especially what crazy things the aficionados did during the festival!

Well let's see . . . . Guillermo del Toro had to beg off this year due to his schedule filming Hellboy II. John Carpenter will be joining us via a specially pre-recorded video message. Berni Wrightson will be there live and in person along with Richard Band, S.T. Joshi, Richard M. Price, Hans Rodionoff, Joseph Scrimshaw, Tim Uren, Richard Manfredi, Shaun Kurtz, George Higham, Stephen Parsons and Joseph S. Pulver Sr.

[GOLLUM]

Unfortunately I couldn't be there and I would have liked to meet Joshi.

Can Curt let us know what transpired??

[Nesacat]

You'll have to keep us all posted in some detail Curt ... maybe next year.

[Curt Chiarelli]

Hi GOLLUM and Nesa:

I'll be writing of my misadventures and merry meetings with the acolytes of Cthulhu someday soon. Right now the stars are not right . . . . Patience my friends!
