Armadillocon: Joe Lansdale on Mighty Bill Crider

A few years ago, Bill Crider made a series of guerrilla interviews at Armadillocon armed only with a spiffy-keen flip video. Since the esteemed Mr. Crider is unable to attend this year due to some unfortunate health issue, I decided to turn the tables and launch my own guerrilla interview series, to get the low-down on what con-goers really think about #MightyBillCrider. Next up is Joe R. Lansdale:

Wear Joe out!

Now folks, I suspect that if you're reading this blog, you have the good taste to appreciate the literary stylings of Joe R. Lansdale, His Ownself. And for that you are commended. But for the average person passing you on the street, there's been no clear way to broadcast this deep-seated appreciation for Lansdale's prose, save for dressing up in a Bubba Ho-Tep costume or quoting the finale of "The Night They Missed the Horror Show" verbatim. Until now:



Yes, what you are seeing is the fine apparel on sale now at The Runaway Mule in beautiful downtown Nacogdoches. Why am I writing about this, worthy subject though Joe may be? Well, I'll tell you. That image of Joe's visage upon the woven garment is one of my very own, taken under the auspices of The Wife's photo studio, Lisa On Location, and licensed to Tim Bryant of Runaway Mule for a very special cause--the proceeds from sale of these shirts will go to benefit PROTECT: The National Association to Protect Children, an organization Joe is strongly involved in.

So there you have it, your chance to display your unambiguous love for all things Lansdale while at the same time doing some good in the world. Order yours now, so that you too can look cool like me!
