2 is the lie. I got 4th place.
It was at a small comic store/retro video game store that also had action figures and playing cards for sale. I was there to meet people and sign autographs with a few other people from Creepy Crawl Entertainment (a small mainly indie horror company that no longer exists). We were also there selling our dvds, posters, t-shirts, etc. Acting in their movies, and being a production assistant, script supervisor, animal wrangler, and special effects makeup artist amoung other things when I wasn't acting in a scene was my start into working in low budget indie movies. The store also had a retro video game tournament on the same day. It started while we were still there and I figured that it would be fun to enter.
