Man, I'm surprised how hard it is to get back onto a schedule after being off one for a couple of months. You start the week with the best intents, but than end up feeling like you're wrapped up in a pinkish space amoeba, unable to move forward.
On the plus side, the feeling doesn't include the sensation
of being slowly digested.
But at least I've been updating the
Horror/Sci Fi/Fantasy Calendar, so you'll be able to check out all the great events coming during the rest of March. I've got more to add later this weekend, so be sure to check back later.
But let's get to the Weekly Update, where you'll find details on The Hollywood Theatre presentation of two classic Vincent Price films, with Victoria Price in attendance, details on two films from the Alien franchise coming to the Pacific Northwest and much more! Check it out below!!
Remember, if you want your event listed on The Shadow Over Portland, just email me at shadowoverportland@live.com with the details and any promotional art, and I'll do all the rest. Well, except for sending you a bill, as having your event posted on the site is FREE!!
From Ashland, OR, to Vancouver, BC, The Shadow Over Portland has you covered!!
