Life goes on, and this weekend I'll be continuing an eight-year tradition moderating Q&A sessions at
Monster-Mania at the Crown Plaza Hotel in Cherry Hill. It's old home week - I'll be talking to two old friends; Dick Warlock (Michael Myers in
Halloween II, and Kurt Russel's personal stuntman for 25 years) and Herschell Gordon Lewis (The creator of the Gore Film and Marketing Guru extraordinaire, the first man to use product placement in movies, and the pioneer of direct mail marketing). In addition, I'll be chatting with Julian Sands (
Boxing Helena,
The Killing Fields,
24) and, depending on scheduling, I'll be hosting a reunion for stars from
Friday the 13th.
Over the course of years, I've made hundreds of contacts in the film industry. Unfortunately, they don't mean much here on the East Coast, where a little influence would come in extremely handy right now. However, four shifts in front of an audience of 300-500 people does present a bully pulpit to bring "my" people here to BobneedsJob.com.
Herschell will be so proud...
This show will be bittersweet; the next show in Maryland is set for September, and will be the first I will miss; by then, I will either be newly working, or on the street.
Neither option will allow for time off.
