Back from Chi Town

Category: Work

I actually never made it to the city. Kind of a bummer, because I would have liked to hook up with my cousin Mike.

The show was good. Normal stuff. There were a few things that stood out. This one peice by Tom Savini looked really good. We’re probably going to pick it up. It’s hard to explain. so I won’t try. If we get it, you’ll just have to come to the haunted house in October to see it. :P Tom Savini is the guy who played “Sex Machine” in the movie From Dusk Till Dawn. So that was cool seeng him there. I always thought I would see Rob Zombie there, seeing how that’s his thing, but no ah-ah. Dee Snyder from Twisted Sister was there though. He’s a tool. There was another guy with him, from Twisted Sister(I think). We kept calling him Leif Stewart. He looked like a cross between Leif Garrett and Rod Stewart. Anyway, we were walking past a booth that had a Twisted Sister video playing, and Leif Stewart asked the guy running it “what year was that from?” Steve says “86, when you guys were popular”. It was hysterical. Leif Stewart for sure heard him.

For whatever reason, the people putting on the show decided to put in little bar stations throughout the convention center. So we’re walking around, and someone suggests that we pick up a cocktail. I think it was a cool idea that they had these bar stations, but they need to find people that know how to mix drinks. Our drinks were so damn strong, that I was buzzin’ HUGE off of one drink. So we walked around the show half in the bag for most of Friday afternoon. :)
We got up Saturday, went to breakfast, then to the show, then back to the hotel to chill for a bit. Got some lunch, which was disgusting, then we left to go home. The ride back was un-eventful. No bad weather or anything. We watched the movie “It” on the ride home. I had never seen it before. WOW, did it suck. What a terrible flick. Everyone that told me that “it” was a good movie is getting kicked in the balls.

    Oh yeah. But he wears it in a pony tail now. He was wearing a trench coat inside the show. Super dork.
