Well, looks like it's going to be a bit wet here in the Pacific Northwest for the next week or so. And while that might help keep the pollen count down, it does make getting around a bit more difficult and might make you consider just staying home rather than getting soaked.
Oh, I'm so soggy. And I only went
out to get the mail!
Well, this edition of the Weekly Update might provide motivation for Pacific Northwest Horror/Sci Fi/Fantasy fans to brave the weather and take in a con, movie or stage production. Just scroll down and check out all the great events happening in the area. You'll probably find something to get you out in the rain.
And, while you're here, check out the
Horror/Sci Fi/Fantasy Calendar, with more movies, conventions and stage shows coming to the Pacific Northwest in 2018. Hell, I've even found a few events in 2019 to add on the list. Just be sure to keep checking back, as I'll be busy this weekend updating the page!
