WE'RE AT MONSTERPALOOZA!
It's that time of year again, MONSTERPALOOZA at Pasadena Conference Center - May 30, 31, June 1st. So if you want to say "Hi" or see what cool memorabilia we have for sale, just drop by.
We're the BOOBS & BLOOD table - that's on the HUNCHBACK aisle, Table 449 (by the concessions) - selling some of the rarest and most unique memorabilia at the convention. It's primarily my own collection, much of it from when I was a kid. So if you're looking for original giant gorilla hair from 1976's KING KONG, 1970's STAR WARS merch, 1960's HAMMER horror promos, talking ViewMasters, rare Film Tie-in Paperbacks, or PLANET OF THE APES soundtracks and Super 8mm films, we're the table for you.
See you there!
OUR LA IN MINIATURE VISIT
Here are some photos from our visit to that wonderful LA IN MINIATURE exhibit earlier in May.
It was an incredibly rare opportunity to see this oddity from the Golden Age of Hollywood.
Seeing the detail in person was so cool.
Plus it was great to see it become illuminated for its nighttime appearance.
And fun to see the details in some of the signs. Incredible work.
As we explained last month, this was originally created by cabinetmaker Joe Pellkofer and was partly designed to keep his craftsmen busy in 1936’s slack periods.
First displayed in 1946, it was an immediate sensation and went on display across the US. At one point in Oregon, the exhibits were stolen turning up in North Carolina. In 1947, the miniatures were placed in a permanent exhibit on the Million Dollar Pier in Atlantic City until Pellkofer decided to take them on the road again. Growing tired of travel, he brought them back to California and locked them in his barn - and there they stayed for decades.
We were lucky to get the last two tickets and hope these photos go someway to showing you how amazing it all was.
