TERI JACOBS SEEKS SYMPATHY FROM THE DEVIL

GAK REASSURES HIS BUDDY DAVE
Ann Laymon looks on in silence and a stranger turns away.


Of course, NO WHC can be complete without the presence of that man of impeccable taste, Jack Haringa. Jack always elevates the room by force of his very company.
Tom Piccirilli (DECEASED)and Mikey Huyck get cuddly.


MEANWHILE
Hey! Here we are, Mike and myself, talking on a panel to discuss web building! Members of the audience included amateurs as well as professionals from high profile websites like cnet.com, gothic.net, and others.
While Mike Oliveri discusses proper panel courtesy with others at the table, I let my mind wander.
It is at moments like this people see me staring off into space and ask themselves, "What is going through Feo's mind?"
Clearly the answer is: You don't want to know.

 



THE BOX OPEN, BRIAN GETS FIRST WHIFF
Left to right
Brian Keene (NO REST FOR THE WICKED), Mike Oliveri (THE DEADLIEST OF THE SPECIES), and Joe Nassise (RIVERWATCH)

THAT PRACTICED SNEER
Michael Marano has had ample opportunity to practice a withering sneer. He used to be into punk and goth clubs after all!
Sephera Giron gets him in a squeeze.


BRIAN IN LOVE
Books unpacked, it was time for a reading. Here is Brian reading to himself.

 

BRIAN IN LOVE II
And here are all the people who came to listen to him read.
For some reason, it didn't occur to Brian that, at a reading, one must read ALOUD.
Folks look at each other curiously, look at Brian, wondering what to do next. It would be impolite to just LEAVE. Especially since Brian had craftily seated himself in front of the only exit.

 


Seriously! You Just Don't Want To Know!


I wish I could convey to you just how much you Really Don't Want To Know what goes on in my head!

KELLY LAYMON'S SECRET ADMIRER PART II

ANN LAYMON AND FEO AMANTE
Don't listen to those awful rumors about Ann & me. We are just good friends.

WE ARE EVERYWHERE
John Urbancik poses for the camera while Brian Freeman helps Kelly Laymon plot mischief

AHHH . . . THE LOVE BETWEEN A WRITER AND A PUBLISHER!
Yeah, for as long as THAT lasts! Here Mark McLaughlin (The Urbanite) shares a snuggle with Darren Floyd from Razor Blade Press.


David Thomas Lord (BOUND IN BLOOD) ruins a perfectly good photo of Tom Piccirilli (NIGHT CLASS), Ann Laymon, and Mikey Huyck doing some kind of cookie monster thing.

Lord is out of the photo now. Hmmm . . . on second thought, it doesn't really look all that perfect.


MICHELLE SCALISE ENJOYS THE CONVENTION
While Brian and Tom politely endure it.


BRIAN KEENE ENJOYS THE CONVENTION
Late into the evening and several bottles of Lite beer, it isn't long before Brian becomes overwhelmed with emotion and emotes to Tim Lebbon (WHITE). Kelly Laymon, sensing trouble, makes furtive hand signals to the security guards posted by the door.
