And it's opening day for Rabbit Season....
Oh come on. I just couldn't pass up that joke, any more than I could pass up using the picture below...
Hippity hoppity HOLY F'ING HELL!
It shouldn't be any surprise that, even though it's Easter, the Pacific Northwest still has lots of great things for Horror/Sci Fi/Fantasy Fans to do. We've got lots of great movies, a few stage events and even a con (which I found out about yesterday; sorry Norwescon!) taking place this week.
Even more is coming next month, including appearances by Lloyd Kaufman and Brian Trenchard-Smith at the Hollywood Theatre! If you want more details on this, or other great events taking place in 2022, visit the Horror/Sci Fi/Fantasy Calendar and start making plans for the rest of the year!!
Take care, have a great week and I'll be back next Friday with another Weekly Update from The Shadow Over Portland!
