Wow it was supposed to be a fun fun weekend at Monster Mania X, but it ended up being stressful and emotional. Basically a lot of crap happened over at the soap site, the usually message board, thoughts forum, chat room crapola that always adds added stress into my life. There are other things going on of which I probably can’t legally speak of, I’m not sure, so I just won’t.
The thing is, it’s been a good while since I sold the site and I’m still there! I never imagined I would be at this point. That is probably going to change. The whole reason behind selling was to free up time in my life and essentially for my emotional well being and happiness. Instead I’m just as if not more stressed now! Inconceivable! I made a big decision this weekend (again), now I just have to find the strength to stick to it.
This has been a lesson for me. If I was ever in this situation again for some reason, I would not go through it again. I would not sell a site I created and worked on for years. I would simply close it down if the appeal ran out for me or it was just too much for me.
JoBeth Williams (Poltergeist Mom) and myself at Monster Mania X 2008
Over to Monster Mania X. I did enjoy myself here and while I was there my mind was off the other issues at hand. Friday is when I got my pictures with Heather and JoBeth, the two I really wanted to meet. There were other stars there too, but autographs and pictures did cost money, so I didn’t feel I really wanted to spend much more.
By Saturday the lines became a little outrageous. People waited 4 hours to meet Corey Feldman (I didn’t need to see him) and Bruce Campbell from “Evil Dead” fame had a really long line too. I decided I would just go to various Q&A answer sessions instead. I saw Zach Galligan (Gremlins) and Williams Ragsdale (Fright Night) Q&A, as well as the “Women of Horror” one with the above. Finally I saw Bruce Campbell’s and the very end of Corey’s. Emily and I then did “Rocky Horror” that night . . . which was interesting to say the least. It was complete with a cast of players acting the whole movie out, costumes and all.
I hope that you are able to stick by your decision. And I also hope that it helps alleviate some of the stress that you are under. I love this picture. I can’t believe how long ago Poltergiest came out and how many times I have watched it. This was the movie that I had on when my son was born:)
Stress sucks, sending along a few stress-free wishes.
screams of horror rent the air……….”Please God, Help Me!!!!”

It sounds like a really cool event. I almost didn’t recognize JoBeth as a blonde.
