Well, the MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR is around the corner and, despite my best plans, I'm already behind on getting the October events on the site. It didn't help that the real world kept me from getting this update out on time, but I'm hoping the upcoming rain will help me focus more on the site. I don't know why it happens, but the hot weather just seems to keep me from sitting in the office and focusing on the stuff that needs to be done.
Of course, the wet weather can bring its own share
of problems and complications.
But this edition of the Weekly Update is ready to go, filled with all the details on the movies, cons and stage events Pacific Northwest Horror/Sci Fi/Fantasy Fans will want to attend. And the
Horror/Sci Fi/Fantasy Calendar is filling up with more great things happening through the rest of the year, and into 2019!
If you want your event listed on the site, just email me all the details and your promotional artwork at shadowoverportland@live.com and I'll take care of the rest. You don't even have to worry about any billing, as posting on the site is FREE!
And remember, if you attend any of the events listed on the site, please let the organizers know you read about it at The Shadow Over Portland!!
