George Romero to attend FX Show Con in FL

I just figured I'd bring to the attention of anyone in the Florida area that Romero has signed on to attend the FX Show Convention in Orlando this year. Robert Englund will also be there as well as a couple of other horror related celebs.

I haven't attended the FX Show in a few years because the last time my wife and I went, it was really lame and poorly thrown together, but from the looks of the site, it seems as though they're putting some more effort into it.

Mentioned already by yours truly: http://www.horrordvds.com/vb3forum/s...ad.php?t=28194

R U going? I didn't go last year, but I DID go to the 2004 FX Show and it was great. Very well put together & organized. Lots of people in costumes and a plethora of dealers! Well worth it!

I'm still working out all the details, but there's a decent chance that I may go. If I do, maybe we can meet up and say hello or something. I'll keep you posted.

Oh yeah, sorry about starting a new thread.

Me and Richard Anthony are driving up and I'm trying to convince Ekent to meet us there as well. I'd love to say hello to you guys!! I went last year and it was a kick ass show!! I didn't really go for the guests last year, but there are quite a few I want to meet this year!

I don't think I'm going to make it after all. My wife's got to work and I had planned on going to see some bands in Tampa. Well, if anyone else goes, please be sure to take some pics, especially if you meet George.

I won't be going either And the list of guests is truly MOUTH WATERING! The afterparty at Hard Rock at Universal looks like fun too. If anyone IS going, make it a point to go. Its free admission (with your arm band & receipt) and some guests will be there. Plus if those porn chicks are gonna be there, U can take one out for a dance!

The show wasn't as big as last year's, but still not too bad. Didn't buy as much as I thought I would (which is probably a good thing!!). The only thing is I didn't get any autographs from the major stars. I'm sorry, but no one's autograph is worth $25!! You used to go to a convention and buy the photograph for $10 and that and the price of admission got you at least 1, if not more autographs from each person!! What a joke!! I did get Timothy Zahn to sign one of my books, which he was more than happy to do, free of charge!! Great guy!!

I feel you Shanna..... I remember back in the day when "stars" at these conventions would even sign your personal items for free. I was surprised to see that Romero was only $20. Having never met him before, I was more than willing to hand over any amount of cash to "meet" the legend. Here's a pic for you guys

The picture link isn't coming up! Yeah, he is a legend, but I was a bit surprised that he was charging so much. I should have expected it. I'd rather spend that money on more collectibles!!

He was $20 when I met him at Horrorfind. That was for a picture and something you brought to get signed. Plus the couple minutes I spent with him were awesome. One of these days I'm going to have to find out when he's home and take a drive up there.
