Big Ole Face Full of Monster Nominated!!
This is pasted from my hubby's journal, and I am very proud of him and the magazine. Yayyyy!
Hey you crazy Cats and Kittens, Big Ole Face Full of Monster got nominated for TWO Rondo awards! The magazine as a whole was nominated for Best Magazine of 2007 and then I was nominated as an author for Best Article of 2007 for my piece 'Model Citizens' on the history of Aurora models.
These are our first nominations (and a big thank you to whoever nominated us!), so we doubt we'll win either category. For one thing, Video Watchdog wins best mag every year, and even if they don't, there are so many long running greats like Scary Monsters, Monster Bash, Rue Morgue and on and on. And in the best article category, I am up against people like Thomas Graham who was a primary contributor for my piece and some really heavy hitters like Tim Lucas, Tom Weaver, and artist/author Vincent Di Fate. These guys are great scholars, and I am honored to have my name mentioned among theirs.
Buuuuuut....it would still be nice to get some votes. So I am placing a link here to the ballot, which any monster fan can vote on. If you like our mag, please vote for us! There are also a lot of fun categories, from the usual Best Horror Film to the more geeky stuff like Best DVD Extra and Best Fan Event.
And if I may make a suggestion, I WAS A TV HORROR HOST, by my pal and yours John Stanley, is up for Best Book of 2007. Stanley is a mensch (and a "brick" according to Harlan Ellison) and a Bay Area treasure, so you might give him some consideration. And since write-ins are allowed, I highly recommend a write-in for Mr. Lobo for Best Horror Host of 2007. So Keep America Strong - Vote for Horror!
