Our Club(CCC) is known by the stars of the movie...
« on: May 06, 2010 - 12:08:08 PM »
Thought you guys might get a kick outta this, I know WE did!

As many of you already know this past weekend Chuck saw John Carpenter and the cast of Christine reunited for a meet and greet at the Texas Frightmare weekend in Dallas. After receiveing an excusive invitiation the CCC joined forces with the event coordinator and assisted in the event. Chuck aka "Evil_Fury", Bill Gibson and a number of other CCC members attended the event and represented the best of the CCC and the members of our beloved club. What happened there for our club is nothing less than legendary. They met all the cast privately and to our surprise Keith Gordon, Alexandra Paul and John Stockwell had already heard of the CCC and were very happy to say hello to the club. John Carpenter and all the cast were also happy to do video shout-outs and extend their best wishes to you all. Hundreds of people stood in line for the event daily and our team was extremely fortunate to be invited to spend the entire weekend with VIP passes. Each and every one of the stars enjoyed the event and took part in a panel type discussion for the general public and strangely went out of their way to spend time with Chuck and talk about the club. As the event wound down Keith Gordon stayed behind signing a few last minute autographs and started talking to Chuck about the CCC. Keith was really interested in the club and what we are all about. He was very impressed with all that we do and asked how we would feel about him joining the CCC. Blown away Chuck humbly welcomed him for all of us and explained that we would be honored if he felt so compelled to join us. :shock:  He then asked Chuck if we would be interested in him doing a private interview and Q&A session here on the board for our members. :o  Chuck accepted Keith's idea as gratiously as someone in that kind of situation ever could. As they prepared to part ways Keith gave him his private contact information.

This historic event for the Club goes beyond words. . It will be a few days until the video's are ready so until then here are some pictures!!

Wow!  VEry cool you got to meet the cast!

It was interesting to see how the actors/actress has aged.... Alexandra Paul still looks great!  :naughty:

Makes me want a Shiner Bock beer. I saw one guy in the pics leaning on the car with a tastey Shiner in hand. Sorry if it's off topic, hadn't had a beer in a while. Worst part about the Middle East is no beer.

Wow, that was on last Thursday, and of course I had to watch. It ranks up there in the top ten movies.
Good to hear that the actors were receptive.

Glad you had a good time.
