It’s almost 2:00 a.m. as I write this and I just coming home from work. We’ve been putting in some late nights getting our massive 100th issue for Rue Morgue in order.
Late last night, I found out I was voted “artist of the year” at the Rondo Hatton Awards. I haven’t had the chance to really let it sink in quite yet, but as a lover of classic horror (my gateway drug to other devious cinematic pleasures), I’m honoured and elated by the recognition from the long running Rondos. And especially from all the horror fans who took the time to write my name on their ballot. I’m really kind of beside myself actually, so from the bottom of my black heart, thank you all… whatever you are! Congratulations to all my Rue Morgue co-workers, Rodrigo, Dave, Monica, Justin, Trevor, Jessa, Jody and Marco for the Best Magazine win (the second year in a row), the fiendish folks at Rue Morgue Radio for their second win for best podcast and to all the winners and nominees! Let’s make 2010 another banner year. This blood’s for you!
