The Love Train is Rondo-Nominated!

Vote for your favorites in the 8th Annual Rondo Hatton Classic Horror Awards!

I'm pretty sure nobody's as surprised, flattered, and honored to find out that Love Train for the Tenebrous Empire has been nominated for Best Horror Blog in the Rondo Hatton Classic Horror Awards as I am! Well, I mean--the latter two qualifiers are obvious, since I'm the only person who writes for this blog. That having been said--it's pretty amazing to me that, two scanty years after venturing out into the world of public blogging, I'd find myself on a list with such genre luminaries as Kim Lindbergs' Cinebeats, Pierre Fournier's Frankensteinia, and Tim Lucas' Video Watchblog. There are so many great talents among the nominees that I can't in good conscience beg anybody to vote for me--but I can and will urge folks to vote for their favorites!

While you're there, check out all the categories; including Best Movie, Best Book, and Best Magazine; and make your voice heard. The Rondos are extremely well-respected "For Fans, By Fans" awards, and those busts will be greatly appreciated by the winners in their respective categories.

Thanks for your consideration, and to celebrate, here's a photo of me standing next to a man in a gorilla suit:

Allow me a second while I'm on about personal milestones, won't you? I mentioned above that my blog turned two years old--it happened on February 15th, in fact. An entirely more important anniversary was celebrated on that very date as well! As of 12/15/10, Baron XIII has put up with my unique brand of insanity for TEN YEARS. Seriously, can you frikkin' imagine? You people only have to hear from me about three times a week. Contemplate TEN YEARS. I love ya, Baron--you're a prince among men.
