http://chillertheatre.com/ch4.htm Every show, friends of mine come in from Japan and I help them out in the dealer's room, then the rest of the time I take them to important places like Best Buy and Rutt's Hut, so usually Chiller weekends are pretty busy for me.
so what is chiller...that link doesn't work for me? i may be down for nyc depending when this rfso event happens.
it's a big horror convention, probably one of the longest running in the states now. I'm not positive if it's actually the first of it's kind or not, but they're up to like their 13th or 14th year. they have a dealer room and then rooms where b level and pseudo celebrities from movies and television sign autographs, usually for a small fee. it's what we nerds horror nerds on the east coast do, usually twice a year. although I usually also go to 2 monster mania cons, horrorfind, probably fangoria, etc.
Oh god...Rutt's Hutt.... Grease-a-riffic deee-lightfulness...my Clifton routine used to be a stop at Outer Limits (R.I.P. ), then a stop at the Hutt.... How do the guys from Japan like the place when you bring 'em, Rog?
They love 'em. I've taken them to Callahan's and Jimmy Buff's, but they prefer the Hutt. We also usually hit the Tick Tock Diner once or twice during the weekend, and then wrap things up Sunday night at Arthur's Steak House in Morristown. (Food is SERIOUS BUSINESS for us. ;p)
Man, I likes your style Roger... Food is Serious business.... Me and Ramos used to hit up Peter Luger's back when I lived across the street.... chesseburgers for lunch was OFF THE CHAIN......with a slice of bacon for good measure....
hey Roger, It looks like a Chiller/RFSO/GreaseEatingFest coming together. If we do it that saturday, would your guests be down for some nerd meet and greet? We would have some crowd.
weekend NEWS FOR YOUS So last night I was sitting around with the main man from Toy Tokyo. For a while now we've been kicking around having a get together and I mentioned that RFSO was going to do an East Coast meeting. So here's what we came up with -- a three way party, held possibly at Toy Tokyo's gallery called The Showroom. The three would be Toy Tokyo, RFSO East Coast (and anyone else) and Kubrick World. The showroom, as Skyler and others will attest, is a great place plus it's next door to the main TT shop. Their other store, High Five, is 2 stops on the "L" train, so both can easily be hit in the same day. What we were thinking was food, booze, maybe a swap meet and some goodies, like an exclusive shirt or something. If we do it for Chiller weekend then we'd have plenty of time to cook up something cool. Thoughts? KW
I love the idea..Gives everyone a chance to meet all kinds of peeps and hook up w/our bros too....I'm down!!!!!
hey that sounds killer. Let's all shoot for the showroom on Saturday. Anyone that would want to go to Chiller can meet up on Friday night/afternoon. This could be a 2 day event. I say Mutant Massacre make up the shirts. sounds like a plan coming together. *The RFSO has to represent now since there will be other party members*
The meetup at Showroom sounds great! I'm not sure if I would go to the chiller event Friday with work and all, but I'm going to plan on being down there for Saturday and Sunday that weekend!
alternate weekend I'd also like to suggest this instead: http://www.fangoria.com/special_events.php Fangoria's Weekend of Horror! NEW YORK CITY METRO AREA September 29-October 1, 2006 Crowne Plaza Meadowlands 2 Harmon Plaza Secaucus, NJ The guest list is pretty freakin' amazing! KW
There's a Jimmy Buff's in East Hanover on 10 now, too, and the one in Scotch Plains on 22 is still there. Arthur's is amazing. We keep trying to get one of my friends from Japan to tackle the 48 ouncer but he won't bite. He can kill a 24 ouncer in less than 5 minutes (he's pretty quiet and not yakking his head off like the rest of us, which probably helps him accomplish this.
