For the 2007 Rondo ballot, I hope to see any of the following nominated (some of these I am merely seconding). I've provided links (underlined) for many:

For Hall of Fame: William Gaines, Dennis Etchison, Bernie Wrightson, horror host Dick Bennick (all of the really great host should be in there), artist Norm Saunders (for his genre work in pulps, comics, magazines, paperbacks, and trading cards) and artist Bill Lemon (sculptor for the Aurora monster models, which we all had and loved as younger Monster Kids), comics legend Jack Kirby

For Monster Kid of the Year: Terry Ingram (for facilitating the amazing success of the UNIVERSAL MONSTER ARMY, his creation which swelled to over 1200 members at Yahoo groups, but which became one of the most active new classic monster websites of 2007 when it became its own open forum/gallery in December) or Jim Clatterbaugh, for his work communicating with Universal on dvd releases.

For best web site: FRANKENSTEINIA, Pierre Fournier's thoughtful, wide-ranging, intelligent and fun Frankenstein website, UNIVERSAL MONSTER ARMY (now taking off like a house afire), and THE HORRORS OF IT ALL, a wonderful celebration of pre-code horror comics.

For Best Toy or Collectible: Sideshow's 1933 King Kong Stop-Motion Armature Replica, the Giant Frankenstein Pez, Toy Island's Universal Monster line

For Best Audio Classic Horror Site:
MOSTLY GHOSTLY MUSIC SHARING BLAAAHHHGGG!!
UNIVERSAL HORROR SOUNDS
THE FEAR CHAMBER
SCARY SPOOKY SOUNDS
FORBIDDEN CRYPTS OF FORGOTTEN MUSIC
ZOMBIE ASTRONAUT
HEADLESS SPECTRE RECORDS

Best CD: The Ghastly Ones-- "UNEARTHED" CD or Monstrous Movie Music-- THE BLOB

For Best Convention, I hope Wonderfest, Monster Bash, and The It's Alive 2007 Zombie Fest are all nominated

For Best Fan Event: I'll second the Monroeville Mall Zombie Walk and add the UMA Toy Tour 2007 (Wonderfest, Monster Bash, Archon)
