Sorry to be late again, but life outside The Shadow Over Portland office continues to all sorts of crazy and this week just sapped all the energy right out of me. So I figured I'd get the Update out during my lunch break, but my computer had other ideas, as it suddenly forgot how to connect to the Internet. THAT was a fun thirty minutes, as I tried several things to get it back on speaking terms with the web. And while I can say that I fixed it, I have no idea what I did to get it running again.
I tried so many things to get my computer working again,
I was probably a few steps away from summing Samara.
And given how the week has gone, I wouldn't have been surprised.
But now I'm back on the web and have the Weekly Update ready for delivery. Hope you Pacific Northwest Horror/Sci Fi/Fantasy Fans are ready for another busy week, as you'll find details on the
I Love Comic Con this weekend in Ridgefield, WA (just found out about it myself), genre films at the
Portland International Film Festival and some spooky Valentines Day events to add a bit of fright to your love life!
Be sure to check out the
Horror/Sci Fi/Fantasy Calendar for more events happening later in the month and throughout the year. Just remember, I'm updating it quite often, so you'll want to keep checking back!
You can have your film festival, convention or stage production listed on The Shadow Over Portland for FREE! Just email me at shadowoverportland@live.com with the details and promotional art, and I'll take care of the rest!!
And remember, if you attend any of the events mentioned below, let the organizers know you read about it at The Shadow Over Portland!!
