Sorry I'm late with this edition of the Weekly Update, but I started working on some chores around the office and lost track of time. Just too much to do and not enough time to get it all done. Sometimes I think having a few extra copies of myself running around to clean and perform the normal acts of daily living would be nice.
But I've heard such duplicates often spend too much time goofing off,
or planning something evil, rather than doing anything useful.
Anyway, Pacific Northwest Horror/Sci Fi/Fantasy Fans will have plenty of activities to chose from this week. But if you want to plan things out further in advance, head to the Horror/Sci Fi/Fantasy Calendar. I've included the Halloween Movie Events for several locally owned theaters in the region, and you'll be wondering how you'll get to all of them! Be sure to keep checking back, as I keep finding more exciting things to do during THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR!!
Don't forget, you can still have your event listed on site. Just email me at shadowoverportland@live.com with details and artwork, and I'll take care of the rest. It's easy and FREE!
And should you attend any of the events listed here, let the organizers know you read about it at The Shadow Over Portland!!
