Real HORRORSHOW, starring Johnny Ryan!
HORRORSHOWThe Art of JOHNNY RYANAt Secret HeadquartersFriday November 30th, 2007 Dozens of new paintings inspired by cult, horror and exploitation films.If that is not enough for you, there will be popcorn and movie inspired snacks.

Texans can buy Tony Millionaire a drink or have him sign your books this Saturday, December 1st, from 3 to 6 pm. (Austin Books & Comics, 5002 N. Lamar Blvd., Austin, TX 78751.)
