Happy Halloween!

Halloween came early this year at the Seguin Film Festival! Here a *ghoul* come out from the dark night and makes his way to Palace Theatre to attend the Seguin Film Festival. A special of horror films that were playing pre-Halloween to get everyone into the mood. Happy Halloween!

Also, photographed here are volunteers helping out at the film festival in the ticket booth.

As Shane and I left Seguin, we were told that a production photo of Getting Lucky was in the newspaper that day. We stopped off at a store and sure enough, there it was, the lead story in the entertainment section! What a wonderful way to end the our adventures in Seguin. It was great day and fun festival!

The Palace Theatre

The Palace Theatre is a gorgeous older movie house built in the late 1930's/early 1940's. Unfortunately, just a few years after it was built, a fire destroyed most of the theatre. However, the theatre was re-built in 1947 to look like the original building/structure.

It is said that several celebrities visited this theatre as many Westerns were filmed in the area--John Wayne being one of them celebrities that frequent here in the Palace Theatre and Seguin area.

Here is Shane and in the front of the entrance of the Theatre. On display behind us is the Getting Lucky poster.

Seguin Film & Arts Festival

The Seguin Film and Arts Festival is about 50 minutes South of Austin, TX. My dear friend, Shane, lives in Austin so it was the perfect trip to visit a close friend and to venture to another amazing film festival.

We got on the road early so that I could participate in a Q&A discussion on behalf of another good friend and fellow filmmaker, Julia Radochia. Her film, Eddie's Winning Date was also screening at the Seguin Film & Arts Festival. On the freeway, Shane and I missed our exit (due to much talking and laughter) however, thanks to Shane's expert driving and speedy convertible, we made it to Seguin and with time to spare!

Seguin is know for Pecans--apparently the exotic nut was first discovered in this area in North America. The weather was gorgeous and there was a nice turn out for both the film festival and the arts festival that was taking place in the downtown area. Here is Shane and I in the City Square where on display, is the famed Pecan.
