WOW!  The House of the Devil won "Best Narrative Feature" at the Sidewalk Moving Picture Festival!  That's so crazy!  Such an honor and such a bummer I couldn't be there to accept it.  I never win stuff and that is such a great festival that I feel really proud and very excited to be getting the award.  It's rare that a horror movie win anything, let alone "best movie."  Pretty neat!

Last time we talked I was on an airplane on my way to Austin, Texas.  I am currently on my airplane back to Los Angeles, California...and you know what's weird?  There are more empty seats on the plane than people.  It's crazy.  I've never been on a less populated plane.  Kind of nice.

So how was Fantastic Fest?

Fucking fantastic!  I must reiterate my love for Mr. Tim League and his never ending amounts of awesomeness.  Here is a list of last weekends highlights:

1.  Fully automatic machine guns.
2.  Two killer back-to-back sold out screenings of The House of the
Devil

3.  5 different Barbeque meals
4.  The Highball
5.  Jess Franco
6.  Shotguns
7.  Uwe Boll Boxing
8.  Magnolia Pictures
9.  Shaky Face
10. Queso
11. Fantastic Feud
12. Karrie League walking out halfway through my movie because she was
too scared.
13. Napoleonic Traditions
14. Lone Star
15. Krispy Kreme
16. Skee-Ball
17. Karaoke
18. Friends
18. Fans
19. Filmmakers
20. Tim League

Thank you Austin...You never let me down.  And thank you Sidewalk for such a flattering surprise!
