LIVE Blogging from Midwest Haunters Convention

Sunday, July 15, 2007 3:55 PM

Greetings, Fellow Haunters:
The live auction from 11 AM until 12:30 PM was a well-attended event. Take a look at a couple of photographs I shot:

Crazy Bob Turner, above, machine-guns the audience with auction chatter. Bob was once again the MHC auctioneer. Behind him you can see some of the available items.

Taken from the hotel’s second-floor balcony, you can see some of the crowd at the MHC live auction. Auctioneer Crazy Bob Turner is in an orange shirt in the center-left portion of the picture. At the far left, you’ll see some of the items up for auction.

My 12:30 – 1:45 PM class about some of the dumb things that haunt actors do, and should not, was a nice success. My small classroom had about 25 attendees, nearly a full house. Several students hung around for another 45 minutes after class, plying me with questions and tales of their own experiences.

Teaching is one of my favorite haunt activities. Not only do I get to spread my knowledge and experience of haunting, but students give me new ideas, too. I thank my students for making me a better haunter.

It’s now late in the afternoon and the convention is winding down. The last classes of the day will wrap up in just a few minutes. I’ve taken my last lap through the tradeshow floor and will soon be heading for home.

It has been my great pleasure to bring you a few tidbits about MHC. I hope the photos you’ve seen from me will encourage you to attend next year’s convention. I thank the folks from Haunted Report and the producers of the Midwest Haunters Convention for this wonder opportunity. Happy Haunting!

Very truly yours,
Rex B. Hamilton
