Three out of four amigos, heading out of Corvallis to pick up Mike in Portland.

We picked up Mike and headed into Washington and stopped for lunch at Burgerville.

They must've known we were coming because they got the place all fancied up for us! John was fascinated by the balloons!

According to the note on the outside of this cup, Mike's milkshake was "made from corn." A corn milkshake? That sounds terrible!

You know what's not terrible? This strawberry shortcake that I had. Mmmmmmm....

Traffic! We must have hit Seattle! Actually the traffic started south of Tacoma...

It's in there!!!

Scarecrow Joe!!!

Rob was amazed at the size of this bat!

I told Mike to point at the Scuttlebutt Brewery sign. He was reeeeally excited!!!!

This is not my motorcycle.

I had a bbq pulled pork sandwich with a bean and sausage soup. Good stuff!

Rob had a giant chili cheese burger. We had a gassy weekend ahead of us.

Rob with our friend Tom who brought us to the Scuttlebutt Brewery.

Our waitress, Lindsey. And John.

Back at the con, we checked out the vendors room, which was actually the basement parking garage. Here's a crazy mad scientist prop! I love it!

This guy has a pest problem.

Friday night, they had a fetish fashion show. This poor fellow with the hole in his head sat in front of us.

This girl with the candy bikini on and covered in chocolate syrup was just decoration. Wow.

Holy Mackerel! The Gore Gore Girls Gorelesque Troupe performed! Here's Sasha Slaughterhaus. Wow!

That there's some of that fetish fashion.

John and Mike give it three thumbs up!

They had a belly dancer, too!

And an Elvira impersonator...who was a dude. Seriously.

More fashion...

These crazy dudes from Pure Cirkus were breaking cinderblocks over each other while they reclined on a bed of nails!

Later that night, we found out that 'the party's in 412.' Well, it was. And it was crowded! And hot.

Like I said, hot. We hung out for a bit, but decided to call it a night.

Saturday morning came, we grabbed some breakfast buffet and got ready for some panels. Here we see the severed arm microphone stand.

Chris Alexander, the new editor of Fangoria Magazine takes questions moderated by Sean “The Butcher” Smithson.

This was the Ernie Hudson (Ghostbusters) panel, 30 minutes in. Where's Ernie?

Here's Ernie! Apparently nobody told him to come upstairs. Now, where's Bert?

Doug Jones (Hellboy, Silver Surfer) and Camden Toy (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) finish up a lively panel.

Here is the lovely Charity Becker (www.optycal.com) with her book, "Presence: Awakening."

Here's Margot Kidder (Superman, Amityville Horror). She's a feisty 61 years old and had some great stories to tell. We saw her a lot over the weekend...

...because she had her dog with her and was always taking the dog out to go to the bathroom. The blood is not from the dog, it's on the tablecloth as decoration. It's a horror con, you know.

Making faces with Chuck DeClown, the official host of Crypticon Seattle 2010.

Here we are with Madeline Morgan (The Tunnel, Blood Creek Woodsman) and her bear.

On the way out for dinner, we ran into this headless guy!

Heaven! BBQ Brisket, potato salad, cole slaw and beans. It was FANTASTIC!

The fantastic BBQ was at the Depot Cafe and Smokehouse. Here is our waitress. And John. And Mike P!

Mike and Mike got some Mike's. I sound like Dr. Seuss.

I blacked out the phone number on this photo of a sign I saw on someone's hotel room door so that people seeing this don't call it over and over again and tap their phones lightly, causing the person who owns the number to track me down and punch me in the mouth. But I wonder how many people it made tap on the door. I didn't tap on the door. I just took a picture of the sign.

Partying room.

This girl broke her toe so a zombie carried her upstairs!

There was a pillow fight being promoted adn scheduled for midnight. As we left the room, I asked Krista to show me her guns. So she did.

Just how big is Big Adam? This is an ice bucket! He said he was going to fill it up with booze and cola. And he did.

Krista pretended to be asleep, but she was really saving her energy for the promised pillow fight. Apparently, security broke up the room party downstairs (in 412!) before the pillow fight could start.

Is that a comma at the end? And there is only one guest? Plus, people could just take these signs off the hallway wall. I didn't take it down. But I took a picture.

Sure, Rob has an attractive smile but look to the left of him! That contortionist is freakin' me out!!!

Madeline may look like she was in a brawl, but she said it was just some zombie dude dancing too close to her.

This party was so amazing, that apparently this ordinary dresser turned into a totally awesome robot! Wow!

The next morning, I was so hungry I was almost finished eating before I remembered to take a picture. Mmmmmm....bacon....

Amazingly, the waitress put a chocolate cake at the end of the breakfast bar! So John had chocolate cake for breakfast. Nice!

Super cool alien prop in the vendor's room.

This guy has a good head on his shoulders. Well, actually, I think he may have a bad head on his shoulders.

Dragon Dronet demonstrates some great sword fighting moves!

Kane Hodder (Friday the 13th part 7, 8, 9 and 10) pulled up a chair for a very informal discussion. Really friendly and funny guy with great stories to share.

Cool skull make-up!

Heather Langenkamp and Brooke Bundy at the Nightmare on Elm Street panel.

William Bivens poses with a sweet Alien egg he made. Check out his stuff at www.my-dementia.com

Wow.

Meeting up with Brother D and Miss Bren of the Mail Order Zombie podcast!

So they were raffling off a corpse prop made by William Bivens. So we entered...

I met these girls in the lobby. Impressive!

I love this photo!

Zombie chicks in the vendor room!

There's another one!

I found these two in the lobby as well.

Under the patch! She did the make-up herself and made staples out of bent wire to hold her scar together. Hard to see in the photo, but it was really creepy!

This young lady was getting rings pierced along either side of her spine for a "corset piercing."

Guess who won the corpse? Mike!

Zombie face dude approved!

Mike got to pose with his dead guy.

I got to pose with Sasha Slaughterhaus. I think I got the better deal.

Hey look!

I think I had a dream like this once. Or maybe it was a nightmare. Nice photo to top off the convention for 2010. Get it? "Top off?"

We stopped by this fine pizza place on the way out of town.

The pizza was great and here's our waitress. And John. Check out the old photobomber in the background.

I had a delicious chocolate chip cannoli. It was delicious!
