EXCUSES, EXCUSES

(Written around 2AM)

Dear Vaulties-

There will be no 31 DAYS OF HORROR or any updates in the NY Comic Con today for the following reasons:

• I went to Day 3 of the con operating on maybe three hours of sleep due to being totally jazzed-up, so I am fucking exhausted, a condition not at all helped by unexpectedly heading off the pub to guzzle a few with friends and comics biz loons (that damned Suzi can coerce me into anything), some of whom came in from the U.K.
• Due to the lateness of the hour and my (quite reasonable) level of Guinness-induced loopiness, I just don't have the wherewithal to sort through and tighten-up the majority of the day's 170 con pics — and there are some very good ones — or write the day's installment of the horror movie stuff. I'm just too damned tired.
• My wireless signal has been for shit, so it takes a loooooooong time to upload.
  

Regarding the horror stuff, I'll post in the wee hours of tomorrow (Monday) morning, by which time I hope to have gone through the Day 3 con pics (and Day 2) and have them annotated and posted. Until then, here are two of my favorite moments from Day 3:

A record of my summit meeting with "Harvey Van Toast, the topless paparazzo."

A character I did not expect to see at all, much less done so well: the 1970's Black Orchid. And she was tall, too!
