Announcing the Fantastic Fest!

In case you were wondering why the updates around here have been a little, um, sporadic lately, it's partially because I'm starting an international sci-fi/fantasy/horror film festival with Tim League and the good folks at the Alamo Drafthouse, based on an idea Tim McCanlies and I have been kicking around for about a year, and with some help from Harry Knowles and Matt Dentler. It'll take place the first weekend of October at the new Alamo Drafthouse Cinema South Lamar, and tickets go on sale in early September. For more info, check out our groovy official website at fantasticfest.com (designed by Milkshake Media, who are sponsoring the event), and today's announcement on AICN.
