Sinners will play at The Killer Online Film Festival at the end of October. The link is here http://killerfilmfest.com/home.html. Getting ready to set up some wrestling stuff for September or October

The second day of NWA Fan Fest saw us getting there at 9am. First thing I did was run over and get Stan Hanson new book and got it autograph by the man himself. Then 2 more books caught my eye. One was Dutch Mantell second book, Tales from a Dirt Road and Jerry Jarrett's new book The Best Of Times. Grab copies of those books so I got alot of reading to do. Did not buy any DVDs this time. I got over 100 dvds at home I had not watch yet. Joe Pedicino and Boni Blackstone hosted the convention. I known Joe and Bonnie since 1993 and have been over to their house many times to watch PPV. In fact Joe lives like 5 miles down the road from me. Joe and Boni hosted Superstars of Wrestling here in Georgia for like 6 years. Joe ran several wrestling promotions here in Georgia and started Global in Texas. They did interviews with the wrestlers during the whole week. Later that day got a picture made with Stan Hanson. Ole Anderson sat in the middle of the convention signing autographs all day long. During the autograph session was able to get autographs from Ivan Koloff, Gypsy Joe, Ron Simmons, Smackdown General Manager Teddy Long, Pat and Randy Rose. Randy's aunt used to be married to my uncle. Later that day got autographs from Ron Bass, James J Dillion, Kille Tim Brooks, David Schultz, Eddie Mansfield and Jimmy Snuka. Iron Sheik, Honey Toney Man had long lines for autographs. Seperated at birth Perry Saturn and Luke Williams. Both of these guys look just alike.

That night was the Hall of Fame dinner. We sit with Bill Eadie a/k/a The Mask Superstar. Bill was an awesome bad guy in his day but in real life he is a very cool nice guy. He currently teaches school in Douglasville. At the table next to us was Roddy Pipper. Ronnie Garvin told a funny story about Ole Anderson. Poor Ole all the wrestlers give him a hard time. Ole is everyone's favorite at the Fan Fest. After the dinner we left at around 11pm to get ready for the big day Saturday.
