Dark Carousel Release Party notes.
It was a dark and stormy night. No shit, it was really raining hard! The venue was a small art gallery, with 40 or so in attendance. Joe spoke for a couple of minutes then read about 10 minutes worth of the Dark Carousel story. After finishing he talked about the history of the story, it coming from a story he told his kids when the were young but that he never felt there would be an outside audience interested in it. This release represents the third incarnation of his original idea.

He talked about how it was originally called Wild Horses and the struggles of trying to get permission from ABKCO records to use the name and include a cover of the song. This is why the name changed from Wild Horses, to Dark Carousel, and if it is included in a later collection wil be renamed again to “ABKCO Records Can Go Suck A Horses Cock”. And yes, that is a direct quote from Joe.

During the signing process, I did ask about the 250 pages he had finished for the new story. He said he didn’t like to talk about works in progress, but that he is pleased with where it is going. When I asked what percentage of the finished product this 250 pages represented he didn’t hesitate to respond with a “half way”.

All in all it was another fun niqht!

What Chris neglected to mention was that he asked Joe which band he would want to play at his funeral( much of the talk centered around rock and roll) and after a little discussion he finally settled on Oasis or at least one of the Gallagher brothers.
Someone asked about the Locke and Key show and he said all hope is not lost. He didn't elaborate but mentioned that others are looking at it and it's still being shopped around so fingers crossed! He also stated that NOS4A2 should premiere fall 2019
As Chris said it was a pretty intimate affair, not a lot of people in attendance but still a nice turn out for what was essentially an art gallery opening with Joe being a bonus.
I brought my replica Creepshow voodoo doll which he signed and had Dark Carosuel signed. I explained that I already had all of his books signed and was just waiting on the CD limited of Strange Weather. He looked up and said yeah, you know they take their time( not a knock on CD if you see this Brian! He also said it was going to be great. Which we already know )
We took a couple of pics with him stabbing the doll with a great Creepshow look on his face. I love that he's such an amiable guy.
Got to hang with Chris and his wife and a couple other friends so it was a great night!

[Cwalker]

Yeah, plus everything she just said! 😁😇

That is so kind of you, Brian! I gotta "spread it around" so I can't give you positive rep, but what a nice gesture!

I know someone is trying to sell one for $119 on eBay saying it is sold out but Waterstreet still has them available for retail. They are signed, not sure if they have unsigned. http://www.waterstreetbooks.com/prod...rk-carousel-lp

Bottom right corner when you open the sleeve is a QR code. that takes you to the link. If you are still having issues PM me and I'll shoot you the link (don't have it in front of me right now).

[becca69]

Thanks. Didn't see that.

[Br!an]

Thanks. Didn't see that.

I didn't see it either, when I first posted my pics. I hurried and edited the pic when I realized. Now it seems that maybe it doesn't matter?

I might be selling some Joe Hill signed/limited editions soon and was wondering if there is a Thread for Joe Hill #'s so I can make sure the right person gets to match any numbers they want for their Joe Hill or King books.

Or is this that thread somewhere on a post in history?

thx for any insight
Curt
