Going To My First Horror Convention...

It's official, kids. I just booked my flight and hotel and bought my tickets to Texas Frightmare Weekend!


No turning back now. I'm not totally excited yet because it's still a month until the actual event - I imagine the actual peeing-in-my-pants excited won't happen until like a week before - but I'm definitely getting stoked about some of the people I might get to meet. Just the other day they announced Lauren Cohan, who plays Maggie on The Walking Dead, as the guest that would replace Sarah Wayne Callies (Lori from The Walking Dead). Guess who else they announced? CHRIS fucking SARANDON. I think I'm going to try to get him to sign my Chucky doll.

Woot woot for my first convention! I hope the experience is as awesome as it has been played out in my mind!

  2. Cool! Are you going this year then? I definitely need tips! I know I'm probably going to need a lot of cash for autographs and some merch (I don't plan on spending a WHOLE lot - maybe a t-shirt or something) but what can I expect to spend at this thing? What are some other essentials that I should bring that I might not think of? I'm thinking about having a folder or something to protect any autographed pictures, camera, wallet, maybe my own Sharpies... How do you plan it out so that you can go to the screenings and panels and stuff AND meet all the people you want to meet? What kind of plan of attack do I need?

    Also, since the event runs all day, do they have food there??

  7. You're going to have a blast! I have never been to Texas Frightfest (yet) but I always love going to convention and being surrounded by my kind of people. Oh yeah and meeting horror celebs is cool too. Enjoy!
