RT Convention: Comicula/Vampire Ball

"So, see you at the Vampire Ball tonight, right?"

When do we ever get a chance to say that to anyone but at RT? And when do we get to roam a hotel in capes and black lace, with fake teeth and blood, frightening and fascinating all the hotel help?

As usual, Heather Graham Pozzessere and co. threw a marvelous bash for RT. Below is part of the cast for this year's Comicula, which featured everything, from vampires to comic heros (Hulk, V., Wonder Woman, Batman, Hellboy, you name it, they made an appearance). I can't tell you what the plot was but in the end, if one guessed the correct killer, one wins a trip to the New Orleans convention that Heather puts together every year. Sadly, I didn't win. I had the correct answer (the maid) but allowed Robert Gregory Browne (who specializes in mystery thrillers) to convince me that it was the sleeping Nina. Yes, it's all his fault.



Heather's daughter, Chynna, was Poison Ivy, and she sang "She's No Good."

Heather did "House of the Rising Sun" to rousing cheers from the audience:

Here's Heather and me late, late, late after the party. There's a bar by the pool where everyone hangs out after midnight. I love sitting down with Heather's family--they are always fun and funny. My teeshirt said: "I'm blogging this."

Someone showed me this awesome sauce to go with your barbeque:

At the ball, my Aussies friends and I struck a pose in front of the stage scenery. That's Cherie on the left and Claire on the right. For some reason everyone kept calling us Chickie Babes, so for the rest of the convention, we were Chickie Babe 1, 2 and 3.

Kayla Perrin, another good friend, chatted with Stefan, one of the Mr. Romance contestants.

Below, I caught up with my friends Sly and Bill Freda.

I danced with Lauren Dane, Megan Hart, Anya Bast, Arianna Hart, Beth Ciotta, and so many, many more. They all took pictures and never sent me any ;-) (or at least, not yet), so you'll have to be patient a little longer. It's great to see everyone let loose and have fun, talking and exchanging news.

Later today, I hope to pose pics of screaming Spartans. Bound tightly, they were at the mercy of maidens who were determined to play an unusual game of musical chairs.
