Well kids, here's the skinny on the Bruce Man. Way back in the day, or September 2002, is when I first met him. He was cocky and confident, and oh yes, he smelled soooo... good. On tour for his first book, "If Chins Could Kill, Confessions Of A B Movie Actor" he stumbled into my town.  It began as any other event, lame introduction, followed by loud clapping as "Ash" made his way to the stage. After about an hour of verbal attacks and a Q&A session with the audience, we were all forced back into the lobby to await our change to meet the man. Or to go and watch the first Evil Dead movie, which one do you think I chose?
After a decent wait, I got my chance and said something insanely witty and was everafter loved by Bruce, ha! Believe that if you will. Do not be fooled, Bruce is a sarcastic man, with a sometimes cruel sense of humour, you just have to go with it when it comes to him, or run home and cry to mama. And yes, there are pictures of this grand event, alas, they have been sucked into the vortex of storage hell. (Moving cross-country in a Honda Civic will do that)I promise to put them up once they are found.
*UPDATE: found those pics, and now they're up..woohoo*
----------------------------------------------
And now for the second time around. I found myself at the Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood for the premiere of a grand little film called Bubba-Ho-Tep, visit the official site to learn more. It's directed by the super groovy Don Coscarelli, of Phantasm and Beastmaster fame, sweet booty shakin' you say! And you are correct. There's not much to tell of the evening. I said a quick hello to Bruce and Don before they were mobbed, and the so so hot Sam "Spiderman" Raimi was there and praised the movie, before he had to run from a mob of uber excited teens. I'll end in saying that I giggled uncontrollably the entire film and Bruce was his usual cute, sarcastic, great smelling self.

The most recent incident was June of 2003, at the premiere of Hatred Of A Minute, which Bruce produced. Again at the fantastic Egyptian Theatre Directed by Michigan native, Mike Kallio, with special cameos by Bruce himself, and the legendary Gunnar Hansen(Leatherface in the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre). Honestly, I've seen better flicks in my day. But it was a good idea. And the director Mike is a very nice man, who says he's planning on making the big move to L.A. soon. Bruce was at his best all night, and was also very nice to me for our third, yet very brief, meeting. I apologize for not taking any photos. Also there was director Scott Spiegel, awesome! (From Dusk Till Dawn 2, Intruder, etc...)

That's all my Bruce stories for now, but do check back, he's always up to something, and I always end up being there, go me. Visit him at his official site for up to date info:
