Wizard World This Weekend

This coming weekend, Friday (22) - Sunday (24), I will be appearing at the Wizard World Comic Con, which is being held at the Austin Convention Center. I will be selling copies of my various books, including the latest, LIFE, LIBERTY & THE PURSUIT OF HOLLYWOOD, as well as DVDs and photos signed by Roger Corman. In fact, on Friday, I will be taking part in one of the special panels that the convention hosts. So, if you're around, stop on by. I understand that William Shatner, "Captain Kirk" himself, will be there this year.
This past Wednesday, I spoke at the Austin Network Mixer to a crowd of about 50-60. That was fun. They seemed appreciative, and I sold some books.
I am still not really writing anything; just researching a couple of new plays for THE HOLLYWOOD LEGENDS collection. Incidentally, if you trying to come up with a gift idea for the movie buff in your life, please consider THE HOLLYWOOD LEGENDS anthology, which contains all 10 plays that are currently in the collection. If you buy it on Amazon, the cost is less than you'd pay for three of the scripts purchased individually.
And, what better gift for the film fan than to read these monologues spoken by Clark Gable, Spencer Tracy, Carole Lombard, Errol Flynn, Clara Bow, Al Jolson, Maurice Chevalier, Orson Welles and Basil Rathbone, plus a 2-person play, Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy?

As soon as I finish writing this blog, I will start working on my review of FRANCES HA, a charming film that was released earlier this year. It should be up on the Best Bets on DVD site soon, so look for it. It's accessible via the link in the Introduction section of this page.
You have a creative week.
