Surviving Fatality Fest 2013

Fatality Fest

Per My Brother

I have officially survived a lot of horror this weekend. First of all, I flew into a tropical storm before touching down in Florida.

It was a thrill to interview Colin Ferguson recently at the Alabama Phoenix Festival, which was his first appearance at the convention, as well as his first-ever visit to the city of Birmingham. After we spoke, he hosted an absolutely hilarious Eureka panel, which was probably the highlight of the weekend. I had no idea he was such a comedian! He had the entire audience in stitches while recounting vivid behind-the-scenes stories.
