CatBusRuss went into GalaxyCon St. Louis a little bit on edge. He had the "Ninety For Chill: The Panel" and the third edition of the "1985 Action Movie Triple Threat" to prepare for with a virtual stranger who was crashing at his hotel room in Nix Eclips. Unlike GalaxyCon Des Moines, this podcast host did not have a day to relax, especially when he wanted that groovy autograph from Bruce Campbell. Good thing the man who was Ash Williams was there to verbally slap him in the face to get his head on straight.
It was a bit of a rough trip to get to GalaxyCon. Russ's mind was all over the place and poor hotel service did not help him out. He also may have had too many goals to accomplish. This was the first convention since he started taking "I Dig Crazy Flicks" on the road where he was looking to interact with celebrities.
Managing time was a worry for him. Horrible parking left him in a virtual food desert. If he was not ready to get the most out of all the panels he participated in, this trip may have been a bust. Of course, he is a podcaster, so getting a chance to hear his own voice gave him some comfort.
With the exception of 5:15 pm to 6:15 pm on Sunday, panel room one was the place to be at the America's Convention Center. He tried to be the smartest person without a doctoral thesis at Ruby T. McCoy's panels about the psychology behind "The Boys" and grief with "Calling in Sick Because my Favorite Character Died". CatBus also sat in on a history of "The Addams Family" panel hosted by animation legend Joe Wos. The point is, there was plenty of fun to be had if he would just relax.
Too make sure he got the names straight in regards to everyone who impressed him, CatBus does take a break in the recording to throw in his movie review for Lamberto Bava's "Demons 2". This film was suggested to him from his appearance on Jamie Ray's "Fave Five from Fans" podcast since it was produced and written by his favorite horror auteur, Dario Argento. It is a film that is also "Cinema Shitshow" approved.
