I have been busy doing other things, both off and on-line. I admit that IJ does not have the strong appeal I used to have for LiveJournal. But I am casual about most of the items my Friends have been scrawling anyway.

I mention that I shall be attending Cinema Wasteland in Strongsville, OH. next weekend.
I suspect you can tell I enjoy the exposition, even though I am not a keen fan of science-fiction and horror movies.

If you attend, the way to try and find me is to go into the dealers' room. Either Andy Copp, Dave Kosanke, Jon Kitley, or especially 42nd Street Pete can give you the data of what I am wearing (& it will be distinctive).

If you are at the Kitley's Krypt table, look inside the closed box labelled "XXX". It contains mostly gay porn. {!}
Yes, I will have selected Japanese Adult Videos on hand.

The persons at this Wasteland whom I want to see and hear are Christina Lindberg and Danny Steinmann. Christina was one of the most beautiful females to appear in Swedish "Soft-X" movies of the early 1970s. Yes, she was frequently nude. [But scenes of her apparantly performing a hardcore act were a body double.]
Danny Steinmann, under a pseudonym, directed the amazing explicit movie "High Rise" [1973]. The movie must be available out here somewhere. There is no jolting imagery preventing a DVD re-release. The scene you must view is where our female protagonist happens upon an apartment where two other lesbians are grateful to have another female join them. The scene is choreographed completely using mirrors.

I shall make one of my rare public appearances this weekend at Cinema Wasteland in Strongsville, OH. [near Cleveland] at the Holiday Inn. I'll be there all three days.

Yes; a handful of the DVDs obtained in Tokyo will be brought along. Perhaps I'll trade some of them to the purveyors in the dealers' room. Or maybe I'll get lucky and wind up in somebody's room in which it has a DVD player. (I'm not staying at the Holiday Inn. I'm at the Motel 6 next door.)
I don't know yet what I'll be wearing. If you go into the dealers' room, ask Andy Copp at the Nightcrew Video table, or Dave Kosanke at the Xploited Cinema table if he's seen Vincent.

I am renting an auto. I anticipate going to a couple of stores to get beer (and a cheap bucket in which to haul around the beers).
I also intend to go to the Brew Kettle brewpub (the best brewpub in the U.S.A. to the members of RateBeer.com) sometime on Saturday night. Weather for Cleveland on Saturday has a zero percent chance of an ice storm.

So come on out and meet me. Judge for yourself in person whether I am being too paranoid.

I will persist at some things until I accomplish what I intend to do.

I am again attending Cinema Wasteland in Strongsville, OH. (suburban Cleveland). The Spring show is 4-6 April.
I post this now because, if you register for it before 8 March, the three-day V.I.P. registration costs only thirty dollars.

If you reside anywhere along the midwestern corridor of Megabus, its schedule is open through the show dates. Enter the Promotional Code "WIN2008" [without the quotes - with the capitals] in the indicated field on the page and you could win a free ride to Cleveland (You would pay only the 50¢ reservation fee.).
Look for the Click 6 internet rate for the adjacent Motel 6 next door to the Holiday Inn for a less-expensive room rate.

I will have a rental auto, so if you want to go with me to the top-rated Brew Kettle Brewpub close to the expo, you can.

If you click through, you will notice it is showing some incredible movies.
If you broach the subject of Fem Doms to the typical vanilla person, the iconography which he/she will express is that of the "Ilsa" movies.

I will actually be in attendance at Cinema Wasteland in Cleveland (Strongsville), OH. this weekend.

I will be fairly noticable.
I will be the attendee not wearing black.
heh heh heh heh

But in the dealer room at the Holiday Inn, you might find me hanging around either Dave Kosanke at the Xploited Cinema table (in the rear on the left), or Andy Copp at the Nightcrew Video table (usually on the right lane, in the interior, just short of the celebrities' tables). If I am not there, ask them what Vincent looks like.

Yes, I probably will have something found in Tokyo with me.
I will have an automobile this time, because I intend to go get some good beers to drink there this time, and not have to sponge off some other guests. Maybe I'll even get together some people to go to a local brewpub. I bet I won't encounter an ice storm.

{Edited: Dave Kosanke was not there; and I misspelled Andy Copp's name.}
