Array Eat Your Heart Out, "B" Movie Fans! Today I met Bruce Campbell (Evil Dead, Army of Darkness, Brisco County JR., etc.). He was doing a book signing at Borders for his autobiography.
And he's JUST as funny in person as he is on the screen (cute, too!).
Would you believe I missed a fencing tourney for this opportunity? "Words are, of course, the most powerful drug used by mankind."

So that is why you werent at the UFO tourny! I went to watch the foil competition and take some pics. I cant wait to compete! 
But man I kind of wish I had met Bruce Campbell, he is hilarious!

Array Joel,
I'll bring the book to GUSH about on Friday. We had a blast listening to some of the things he said to the people in line.
I'm very proud to report that I did NOT turn into a blithering idiot. I was able to converse with him like a normal person.
On a side note, I started the book...I'm now a fan on a whole other level. This guy is REAL. "Words are, of course, the most powerful drug used by mankind."

Array Hey Joel, whatever happened to your "feeble" attempt at writing? It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us the freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us the freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who gives us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves beneath the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag, who allows the protestor to burn the flag. - Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC -

Apparently it was just that.."feeble" I received a couple of PMs from someone who thought my work was not suitable to be posted so I decided to withdraw my "feeble" attempt!  Joel

Hey Joel, Don't listen to the critics uless you see that their writing is far superior to yours....None of us are professional writers here except for Moonitic that I know of. We are just expressing our creativity and having a good time.
If someone critisizes and does not offer good solid advice you can use to improve, they are as clanging gongs; making a lot of noise, but not saying anything.
Besides, I think you did a wonderful job and I'm a language arts teacher. -

Array In my professional opinion, Joel...
SCREW THEM if they don't like your work. For every 1 good review, authors can face 5 (or more)bad reviews. Focus on that one good, & forget about the 5 bad.
And now you know why you have to be a cocky little bugger to succeed as a writer! It's just overcoming the negative criticism. "Words are, of course, the most powerful drug used by mankind."
-- Rudyard Kipling -
Well said, Moon. Did you read his "feebel Attempt"? Its on the second page of posts. Pretty good start, I think. -

Array Though it could use some polish, "feeble" wasn't the word I had in mind.
Let's not forget, I review books as a hobby. When I'm not writing them, that is. "Words are, of course, the most powerful drug used by mankind."

Array Just always remember the commentary on Fred Astaire's first audition...
"Can't sing. Can't act. Can dance a little."
Go get 'em.
