Chicago's longest-running and largest horror convention returns in one month. Running August 1-3, it will once again feature plenty of horror stars and events and once again, I will be joined "On the Beat" by Cuzz Gekas.
Although I have attended almost every Flashback Weekend from its debut, I somehow never got to meet or get a picture with film critic, podcaster and media personality Nick Digilio who serves as a host of sorts there. Digilio is usually busy running a panel or conducting his own interviews. Last year though, I had a secret weapon. My eagle-eyed pal Tony was on a mission to get me to finally meet Digilio.
Tony has a unique ability to sport people from across convention halls, between screens, in crowds and more. Sure enough, Tony spotted Digilio and introduced me to him, as Tony had previously met him. Digilio was a bit rushed, but she graciously stopped for us. Mission accomplished.
This is just one of many stories I have from Flashback Weekend. I am sure this year will bring more good ones.
Go to flashbackweekend.com for more info and scheduling. Hopefully I will see Digilio again.
