Event Recap
Although the weather did not cooperate, we still had an
amazing time on Saturday, 6/13/09. We had such a good time
that many of you requested we do more events like this! We
heard, and are planning more.
The day started a little before 1p when Todd arrived to find
people already waiting! The gaming begins. When Jo and I
arrived a little after 1p, Todd and several others had been playing
a very fun looking zombie game (that Todd purchased for future
fun). Machetes, zombies and mayhem - my kind of game.
People started arriving throughout the day. Brian and Ana
showed up to game, as did Barry, Thom, Rev. Pete, Josh, Duckie,
Joe, Vicky and Rob. Every time you looked up, someone else
had arrived - take a look at the pics in the slide show!
It was a lot of fun listening to what was going on at the different
tables. I think Barry and Brian may have been cheating at Lord of
the Fries after having been beaten by Ana in a previous game of
Tsuro - lol. Todd and his rowdy crew were making up rules for
the Order of the Sticks game as they went along. As Josh stated,
"cheat to win!" This was a roomful of fun people truly enjoying
themselves. They may have been having fun playing, but I had
fun watching them 'bend the rules', try to best their opponents
and then laugh about it and overall have a good time. You
haven't seen funny until you've seen Brian K and Barry totally
dejected because they didn't have time to get into a game of
Battlestar Galactica (Brian thought the little spaceships were neat)
because the pizza had arrived. Todd has promised to plan a
future gaming day with Battlestar Galactica.
Bill went out to pick up the pizza so Todd could continue to
game and keep things in relative order, relative. The pizza
arrived, several large Sicilians, and we dug in. The pizza was
delicious. We had a very nice dinner and chatted while we ate.
We also had the pleasure of being joined by our guests for the
evening; Warren Disbrow, Deb Taylor, Paul Kellogg, and
Jared Midgen. What a nice bunch of people they were. Very
friendly and fit right in.
After dinner, we cleared out the room to set up for the movie.
When all was ready we called everyone back in for Haunted
Hay Ride The Movie. We decided to flip the Q & A to after
the movie so we'd have more questions. This movie was
fast-paced, gory and will make you rethink hayrides in the fall.
Those innocent pumpkin patches - not so innocent anymore.
Haunted Hay Ride The Movie hit the ground running and
did not slow down. As Todd said, "what was the total body
count? I lost track." Twisted guy in freaky mask uses various
weapons in some inventive ways on pretty much anyone he
comes across. We were having fun telling the actors to run,
hide, fight back, all the while knowing they couldn't hear us. We
also had our favorite actors - Iggy the Iguana and Mr. Brock
(owner of the doomed hayride). It was great having the makers
of the movie in the room - it must have been fun for them. They
knew who was gonna get it and who wasn't; while we had to sit
and shout things like, "I hope the car breaks down." "Run." The
funniest was Ana unleashing her inner survivalist. Ana, the
sweetest person, yelling out, "kick him, get a stick, don't just sit
there" was hilarious.
Also funny was Rob's frustration that a character he did not like,
did not get the comeuppance he felt was fitting. I can't say
anymore or I'll spoil it.
Other notables were the room's shouts of "Iggy, Iggy" - you had
to be there. Brian S's wondering where the guy asking for
directions came from, while Brian K had issues with the acid, yes,
acid.
After the screening we had our Q & A. Our four guests,
Producer/Writer/Director Warren Disbrow, Still
photogapher & Make up artist Deb Taylor, Slay Ride
principal actor Paul Kellogg and Production assistant
Jared Midgen, answered all of our questions. Mr. Disbrow
took the time to explain how scenes were filmed, the writing and
where his inspirations came from. He likes classics horror movies
as well as current movies. He listed favorites, and talked about
his upcoming movie Haunted Slayride. One of the room's
favorite characters, Mr. Brock, was played by Mr. Disbrow's
father. Bill asked, "how could you do that to your dad?" Without
missing a beat, Mr. Disbrow responded, "Well, he gets sewn up
in the next one." This is the kind of night it was.
Mike P enjoyed the movie more than Halloween and told Mr.
Disbrow so.
Our guests were friendly, open and responded to our queries for
close to an hour and they had a long ride home. Several of us
purchased the movie that they happily signed. We will be
looking for the entire back of Jared's head in the upcoming
Slay Ride movie - so far it's intact, but there's still 4 weeks of
filming ;)
We cleaned up and a group continued the night at a diner.
Extremely fun event that we will have more of. Thanks to all
who came out to make this event the fun time it was. Thanks
also to our wonderful guests, Warren Disbrow, Deb Taylor,
Paul Kellogg and Jared Midgen. Big thanks to Rob and Vicky
for everything.
