they live
 

happy birthday Dem

went to John Carpenter meet and greet/gig in manchester last night, got my they live dvd cover signed (already has Roddy's signature on it) and my halloween steelbook blu signed. Bought a pair of they live sunglasses .

Some recent stuff.

I was at the Festival of Fantastic films yesterday and picked up 'Alien 2' and the Krimi double bill for £7 at the auction. I also got Jorg Buttgereit to sign the postcards from my 'Nekromantik' box sets, which are also pictured.

Very cool. What was Jörg Buttgereit like?

I could only go for 1 day so missed his talk on the Friday but he was really friendly and amiable.

That's good to hear. I did plan on going but, once the guests were finally announced and I decided I definitely wanted to go, there wasn't enough time to make the necessary arrangements. Maybe next year.

There was a lot of talk of this being the last festival due to a number of the organisers pulling out for various reasons. To be honest, whilst I did enjoy the day, it did feel a little subdued compared to previous years (eg. 2 screening rooms instead of 3/4 in previous years, a noticeably shorter auction etc). I really hope it does continue though as it does have a nice, relaxed feel, where you can chat to the guests in the bar etc.

It would be a real shame if that is the case because I have very much enjoyed the ones I have attended (three, I think) for the reasons you mention.

I've just got Dekalog arriving today, I'm trying to curb my spending coming up to Christmas.
