Finally, I spent some time this weekend in
Louisville, Kentucky at Wonderfest, probably the USA's premiere
fantasy/sci-fi convention. Besides the usual crowd of black t-shirted
individuals, there were lot of vendors, a very good model contest
(photos to come) and of the many celebrities there, one was Ray
Harryhausen, a master of stop-motion animation. A truly excellent time
for all and a show that I enjoy a great deal. Yes, I did buy 'stuff'
from the vendors. I can never seem to leave there without at least a
couple of resin kits!
