the sad truth of the matter…

As we were originally scheduled to relocate to Vermont this past July, one of the great thrills (aside from, oh, friends, family, roots, landscape and all that sort of stuff) for me in staying in good old Portland, Oregon for a bit longer was that I would be in town for yet another HP Lovecraft Film Festival…

Through some strange mind blanking of mind, when we made plans to come and visit Vermont this month, the festival somehow left my mind as I booked the tickets. So now I am a week beyond it, and still in Vermont! While I have really enjoyed my time here, in my fatalistic style I am assuming that it was my last chance to go to the festival. Yes, it can be a bit silly but I really love the idea and the concept and the fact that people make these movies, especially the shorts, and the chance to look at so many great HPL related t-shirts. Plus, this year, in addition to the great shorts, they were screening In the Mouth of Madness and The Thing!

Well, maybe once we’re out here we’ll make up for it by annually making the 500 mile trip to Toronto for Rue Morgue’s Festival of Fear, I’ve always wanted to go to that!
