Seeing the content from the 2007 Full Moon Horror Convention & Film Festival was such a kick. It brought back loads of great memories. I was so inspired I decided to look for and successfully found a bunch of photos I had taken when I attended . A group of us and driven from NYC to Little Rock, Arkansas. It was my first time in that city and state. There we were dressed in our best horror film attire, ghoulish makeup and jewelry. I was wearing one of my signature studded choker necklaces. Jump ahead a decade later and I still wear choker collar necklaces, but my fashion direction has now move to a more refined, but still quirky sensibility. I am lucky to be a sales person for an online company that sells Italian contemporary dining furniture. We've had our share of high drama lately because of Google searches, of all things. Searches in Google for the company name revealed a mistaken drug bust of the owner. The cops had the wrong address and he was mistakenly arrested. The news item states this, but the headline in Google is "Store owner involved in bungled drug bust" which really doesn't clear him. Customers are alarmed and orders started falling off. He's suing the publisher. This feels like a real life horror show. But in the meantime he's hired a high tech internet hit team who is going to take down that harmful search result using search engine optimization. They're expensive but we finally started seeing the benefit after what seemed like too long a wait. Orders are picking up again. Yes indeed, it was a real life horror show, and we hope the monster stays down.

Although the Full Moon Horror Convention & Film Festival is no longer with us, I have discovered another great festival that is held in Nashville, TN called the Full Moon Tattoo & Horror Festival. It is described as reveling in the frightening, relishing in the weird and just so happens to attract some of the finest tattoo artists in the country. Each year in April, film stars and highly esteemed tattoo artists gather for three days of horror film screenings, costume contests and tattoo competitions. Sounds like my type of festival. See you there.
