Nicotero's a good speaker.
He appeared at the 2019 JerseyFest and spoke about his contribution to the Oscar Museum (dumpster Bruce from Jaws) and all the work involved.
I also had a nice chat with him about Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and the scene he contributed to. Very down to earth, enthusiastic guy.

Oh Greg has always been great. I've seen his presentations several times at WF and enjoyed every single one of them.
I remember the first one I saw, I had him autograph my Army of Darkness VHS case.
(and I think the show program as well)
Chatted with him a few times during the show.
And drank with him a couple times over the years.

He also did a great interview on the first WF DVD.

Pretty sure I am not going to be there. I wonder who I confirmed my attendance with?

I honestly haven't had any interaction with anyone associated with them since they took my money for a table over 2 years ago.

At this point in time I want to see the list of confirmed vendors before I would make any commitment to even attend as a fan/ patron; let alone as a vendor.

Honestly, I don't even care if the dealer's room is only half full. I'll find stuff to buy. :)
I just want to get out of the house and sit in Louisville for the weekend and hang out with friends.

"Hey folks! There will be changes this year to the Amazing Model Contest I want everybody to be aware of, so if you know anyone attending who is not part of this group, let them know.
Online registration is not happening due to circumstances beyond our control. We'll be going "old school" using the triplicate manual forms which can be purchased Friday night from 5---8pm, and Saturday from 7:30am ---12pm. Those having multiple entries will have a lot of writing to do (I've been there), and for that I apologize.
Awards: There will not be an Award ceremony this year due to Covid Regulations. Instead, Check the YELLOW slip placed under your entry. It will be marked "G", "S", or "B". At this point, collect that slip and take it to the Awards room (which I will update shortly) to collect your award(s). ALSO---if "SA" is marked on your slip, you've also won a sponsored award, which can also be picked up at the same time.
Awards can be picked up starting at 3pm. After the contest room closes at 5pm, all entries are to be picked up. Don't forget to bring your pink slip with you to prove the entry is yours.
This is the best way to ensure there are no snafus for this year. Good luck to everyone, and remember: If you're not in that Contest Room for fun and Comraderie, you're in it for the wrong reason!
I can't WAIT to see what you all bring us this year! "

I'm with you 100% Trevor!! Just getting away for the weekend and seeing some faces I haven't seen in 2 years is worth the drive for me. I'm sure I'll find plenty of stuff to spend money on too.

See you there!!

Yeah. I'm not going to have trouble spending my money.
There is a bunch of stuff I want to get from Cult.
I also have a shopping list of Godzilla busts to get from Blackheart.
Terry always has cool stuff he brings out at the AFM table.
AI has a bunch of new kits. Need some more brushes from GarageKits and I may finally get that Headless Horseman I've been eyeing from Jessie.
Monster Dork has that new Slimer kit and who knows what else Karl will show up with.
And I always see some gems at the Hodge Hobbies table.

Those are ones I know are going to be there. As always, I'm going to have to pace myself and see what's there before I go too overboard.

Hahaha - i Agree! I always spend a ton of money at Cult's table. I only spend cash too and don't ever use a card for purchases!
