THE Horror Hoarder

I got there even earlier on day 2, but still wasn't first in line. There were already 2 chairs lined up. But I was a bit closer to the front than the day before. It also wasn't quite as cold, but I still spent a good portion of the morning in the car with the heater on. I was torn on who to go for first. My initial game plan was to get Bruce Dickinson first.

But I just missed the Cassandra Peterson photo op on Saturday. So I decided to get it done today. I started the day with the awesome Eggs Benedict at the B-Line Diner.
