A Celebrity Story by Jeremy Hawkins
So here we go again
another date, another convention and me getting to meet one of the
men behind one of the famous masks to date… Yes Jason Voorhees! Now
the man I am talking about has played him in Friday the 13th
7, 8 and 9, he is Kane Hodder.
I thought I would share this little
story about attacking Kane Hodder in the hallway this leads to the
ever famous “strangling” that has become a staple at conventions
across the globe. So my friend Mike O went to this convention called
“Weekend of Horrors (1991)” first horror convention I think. We
went to Kane’s panel and were mesmerized by the man and the sharing
of the stories; at this point he was discussing “Jason Goes To
Hell”. This kind of tells you what year it was, so jump forward he
is leaving the stage to sign a group of autographs in some other
room. We sort of tackle the man because we didn’t think we wanted
to wait in the line.
We are not the only ones
at this point to think this out; early conventions did have the
security like it does now. So here we jump the man holding him for a
photo he obliges with a kind heart, he is great like that. Now when
the man who plays Jason Voorhees asks you if you are coming to get an
autograph… you of course say “Hell Yes”.
So I wanted to thank you and Suzy for sticking around, you all know I still have not answered the GEORGE TAKEI stumping question… I promise too! So if you follow the tour you will not want to miss it because it will be the last in the dates. Thank you all again...
Being Retro
It's a four book
series 40 pages each and it is the art/design from things I had
designed over the years. It's a mish-mash of things that I had seen
in my head... and some are future designs that will become shirts.
Places I wanted to go artistically as you travel from where I was to
where I am now. Is it great journey! Titles came from the idea of
time "12:34, 35, 36 and 37” seems that is when my best ideas
came to me... day or night. It's funny I
never considered myself a "writer" just a man who likes to
paint a canvas if it be words or my art/design.
Giveaways: Some great
prizes being given away please stop over at my main page “BEING

me play host and to all who took the “time” to read this… you
are all the best.
