Six of Wands: "A man proudly shows off his wands, each of which is the symbol of a goal achieved. He stands at the summit of a hill, accompanied by fat, comfortable cats. Meanings: Conquest. Triumph. Good news. Gain. Advancement. Expectation. Desires realized. The results of efforts."
Indeed. So here are a couple pics from last night!
That's my sweetie's arm on the left. Honest.
Bruce introduces The Man With the Screaming Brain.
It was fun, but I suppose the evening could have gone better.
1. Byron (my sweetie) drove me into work, then walked across the street to the Hollywood to see what was going on. About an hour later he calls me, saying that there's no re-entry - once you get in the theater, you can't get out. So much for our plan to go out for dinner after I got off work, after the signing and before the movie. I ended up having dinner by myself at the Chinese restaurant down the street.
2. The signing process itself was pretty assembly-line. Bruce would only sign more than one thing for you if you bought more than one book. Byron could only afford one book, so he didn't get his Brisco County Jr. 8x10 signed. He also got about 30 seconds with Bruce; basically "hi, how's it going, thanks for coming."
3. As you can see from the pic, the guy taking the picture with Byron's camera failed to get Byron completely into the shot. That really is Byron's arm, though. I kid you not.
4. Bruce came out after the signing to introduce the movie and answer questions. He did have a lot of fun insulting the dunderheads in the audience who, yes, asked when Evil Dead IV was coming out and if Ash could kick Jason Voorhees' ass in a fight. Good lord, people. There was one gal who said she went to see Hatred of a Minute on Bruce's recommendation (he does another cameo as an actor in a soap opera in the film) and hated it. Bruce reached into his wallet, pulled out a dollar and threw it at her in mock disgust. She picked it up with a triumphant "yes!" gesture to the crowd. It was pretty funny. (Hmm, I think I need to see this film; it's about a medical transcripitonist who becomes a serial killer. I was a medical transcriptionist for 16 years....)
4. The Man With the Screaming Brain was OK. B-movie silliness all the way, but what did you expect? Ted Raimi pretty much walks away with the whole film, as far as I'm concerned. What a knuckleknob.
5. And then we went home and had a slice of apple pie with blueberries and raspberries from our backyard.
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a tad bit disappointed. But I did get to see Bruce, and he rocks. I'm pretty much cured of any fangirl tendencies, though. Famous people are just plain people like the rest of us. That's reassuring, actually.

So now we're friends, and I might think about hanging out a bit longer.
Nice brush with Campbellness. And your sweetie has one fine arm. (I hopethe other isn't gammy or I'll feel bad.)
