It’s okay now though, because the news has explained to us that the problem isn’t that the IDF shot the guys that were stabbing them with knives and hitting them with pipes, the problem is because they responded with “disproportionate” force.  Which is ironic, because that’s the exact same word that Felipe Calderone used to describe the horrors of one of our Border Patrol shooting a Mexican drug trafficer that was about to brain said agent with a rock.

I’ve just been invited to be a special guest at StellerCon 35 in Greensboro, North Carolina, March 2011.  Todd McAffery is the guest of honor. I’ve not read anything from the Pern novels, but my wife is a huge fan, as is my mother-in-law.  I’ve been sworn to bring back many autographs.  Larry Elmore is the artist guest of honor, and I’ve been a fan of his since I had Dragonlance calenders on my walls during my teenage years.

I’ve never been to North Carolina before. This should be fun.

I first met Nathan when we were on a panel about B-movies together at a Con. Now my regular readers know that I know B-movies, but I stood in awe of Nathan’s encyclopedic knowledge of crappy cinema. The man is amazing; like a walking catalog of movies about chainsaw cannibals, monster fish, and space aliens made out of trashbags.  He asked me if I would be one of his cover blurbs for his upcoming book, and after reading the early copy, I was happy to do so.  

I reread the final hardcopy this week. Golden Age of Crap is a remarkable look at a host of movies, some good, some bad, and some head-‘splodingly awful.  Nathan’s reviews are snarky, funny, and always spot on.  He even reviewed bad movies that I had never heard of, and that is really saying something. 

GAoC is a great read. You should go check it out.

Team Haven

Utah County – And this one looks better in real life than in the picture. It got kinda squished in this one. It is actually the same size/shape/color as the original MHI patch.

These patches are $5 each. (that covers shipping too).  The Buy Stuff tab has information about everything else I’ve got for sale if you want to stick these with something else. My Paypal is slg2qcorreia@yahoo.com that’s an L not an I in the first part. If you dont’ like Paypal (understandable), e-mail me and I’ll send you a mailing address. If you are international and you are just getting patches, stick another buck on there, since contacting the post office about shipping rates to every single country on Earth is time consuming. 🙂

I just got the Utah County MHI patches and Team Haven MHI patches.  I’ll get pictures up as soon as I can!  They look awesome. Yay!

I’ll be selling these soon. I’m going to have to bump them up to $5 instead of the regular $3 because I did them in a much smaller run. You guys are gonna flip when you see the walrus with the banjo.

Edit:  Just realized that both of my books were in the 5,000 range on Amazon today, which puts both of them in the top 100 of both Horror and Epic Fantasy. He he he.
