I've never been to a Flashback Weekend before but I think I'm going on Saturday. There's a costume monster party Saturday night hosted by Englund and that sounds like a great way to spend my birthday.

---

Edit 10/12


I'll be attending the show on Saturday the 24th - my birthday! That evening there's a Monster Bash/costume party at 9pm which I'm using as my shindig. Tickets are $25 for Saturday- that's all day at the con as well as the evening events. There will be a DJ, cash bar, prizes given to those in costume and the bash will be hosted by Robert Englund. You can get another use out of your costume and hang out with me. For more info and to purchase tickets, go to www.flashbackweekend.com

HHHMMMMMM...be cool to get a picture with him while in my nerd herd outfit. Think I'll pass, take plenty of pics Kristin!

BTW, what do you want for your birthday? :huh

If you are gonna meet Freddy prepare for a LONG line

WTF! There are three Ginger Snaps movies? How did that get by me? I saw the first.

I liked 'Ginger Snaps Back' better that the first one.
The third one was terrible, though.

Whichever one that is packaged with actual gingersnaps will be my favorite

The second was alright and I never got around to seeing the third one. Now the original? One of the best werewolf movies ever.

QFT.

(Never seen the other two either.)

QFT

In collectormania glasgow when he appeared his line actually went outside of the braehead arena. No kidding my sister (who is a huge nightmare on elm street fan) waited for two hours

omg! I love Ginger Snaps. And the third was kinda eh, but still. I loved it.

Bump for the edit!

Futile as it may be, I'd like to mention that I would love to go, if I could.

Damn, this is the weekend of my anniversary, so the missus and I will be indisposed. Crap in a hat.

Soo what are you planning for that?

Touche'

lol

I can train it up there?? can I not?

My wife loves Robert Englund... as many times as I've said that already...

Anniversary weekend... hmmmm... 25 bucks aint bad.

Horror con, beer and Bday party. Wish I could make it

The Mrs and I might be able to make it to this one. Want me to bring the POP! sign?

Spider-Man wrote:The Mrs and I might be able to make it to this one. Want me to bring the POP! sign?

I know I do!

Crane said he was gonna try and snag Robert Englund!

I would love a picture with Lance. If I get my costume together and can manage somewhere to crash by then I will try to make it.

I hope I can!! Even if I have to pay for it

I was going over public transportation last night with a buddy.. you kinda can. It seems like a pain in the ass. Depending on where you're coming from, you'd need to do a Metra ride, then hop on the Blue line, bus it then walk a bit. If I remember correctly there's a bus stop near the Donald E Stephens convention center (where WWC is held) and that'll take you to near the Allstate, and from there you'd have to go on foot to the hotel. It might be worth it to just get a cab from the el stop.

Eli might come to the party. I know you're all jealous.

If more people say they'll be there I'll see if I can bring one in. Right now it's just me and my date.

Just so everyone is aware, Englund is hosting the party on Saturday and will be at the show doing signings and photo ops on Sunday. So if your wife wants to meet Freddy, MDG, you'd probably want to go on Sunday.
