taking subs--CHILLER THEATRE April 22-24th SoA, Monkees, Rocky Horror, Meatloaf

[Rich_Henn]

LOTS of guests at this show. Probably one of the bigger CHILLER shows I'll be facilitating to date. For some reason, I think I forgot to add this to my 2016 schedule, as I normally facilitate this show. Looking at the guest list, I'm creating a separate thread for this one.

 

Anyone looking to be part of a PM thread, LMK.

Do we know yet how much each celeb is charging? I am interested in a few like the Rocky Horror Cast and Alice Cooper

[nriccijr]

His name is Robert Paulson

[whitelanthawkeye]

I'm interested in Alice Cooper and Weird Al

[Dmac538]

Alice Cooper for me!!

[mattn792]

Demond Wilson!! If only Marvel had had the foresight to do a Wolverine/Sanford and Son cross-over issue...

[bigcbass]

Interested pending pricing.

[Rich_Henn]

Still researching most of the guests fees on this one---we still have almost a month out on this one.

 

I'll be offering an Alice Cooper comic for signature series once I look at stock this week.

 

[Rich_Henn]

An update---please try to have all items for this show to me no later than April 18th

[Triston Pence]

[SignatureSelect]

got my books pulled for this show rich. sending them out monday

[Rich_Henn]

Last call for CHILLER THEATRE-----need all items in hand one week from today.

 

Talking with Triston Pence who is pretty on top of these things----as I understand it, this is Meatloaf's first public signing appearance.

 

Alice Cooper----I think it's been seven years since we've seen him at a show.

 

Great ops here to get Rocky Horror comics signed by the cast.

[Rich_Henn]

Okay---so the Chiller signings went very well---I was VERY impressed with how fast the lines moved on Friday.

 

Not so much on Saturday.

 

Line for Meatloaf on Friday---about an hour.

On Saturday---3 hours +

 

Line for Alice Cooper on Friday wasn't terrible----but on Saturday it was worse.

 

Weird Al line was a breeze. NO LINE.

On Friday.

On Saturday, good luck.

And on Saturday, good luck getting into the mail celebrity room, the line just to get in was 2+ hours easy.

 

Patricia Quinn, a wet hot mess. I couldn't tell if that was her "bit" or she was just drunk or what was going on, but she's VERY animated. And 1974 Quinn vs 2016 Quinn----- :whatthe:

 

Monkees line for Peter Tork & Dolenz----very quick. Too bad I didn't have anything for them

 

That being said, I really kind of feel like a lot of people may have slept through an opportunity.

Several people confirmed that this was the first public Meatloaf signing / appearance since the 1990s when he did a book tour. And that apparently he's retiring this year. He's got a final album coming out this year and possibly a tour and that's it. Adios.

 

Less than 10 books were done for Meatloaf. Two are in black hole private collections, I can say that because I know the boardies who sent them to me, and they rarely sell books.

 

Here are my three-----I completely forgot that Meatloaf played Bithc T iT Bob in Fight Club!

I had to dig these out and crack them---they were 9.8 s/s Cameron Stewart and one even had Chuck Palahniuck and I almost forgot I had that one.

 

 

 

 

 

Alice Cooper was awesome. Line moved at a healthy pace, he chatted with everyone and shook hands and seemed to really enjoy himself. He commented on the MP 50 books, and said he'll always love Stan Lee because Stan gave him abs in the comic

 

Big thanks all the way around to everyone who partook in this event.

My witness probably had more fun than I did!

 

[Kevlar]

MEATLOAF!!!!!

 

Not as good as my mom's but still....

[Triston Pence]

I agree Rich, this was a really great show that should have had a large amount of submissions. The Meatloaf opp was by far the golden goose of the show. Thanks for doing a great job as always!

[seanfingh]

I have a rocky horror book that is at CGC so I missed out on the Loaf!!

[Triston Pence]

Well Sean, you have a Rocky Horror book and it's slabbed, it's just missing the Loaf......Now don't feel sad, 'cause Two out of Three Ain't Bad.
