I'm calling this a win. Sure, it's a bit later than I usually post a Weekly Update, but still, I made my self-imposed Friday deadline. I'm hoping to keep the streak up, but my day job schedule changes yet again on July 1, so I expect some adjustments will need to be made yet again.
At least I won't have to deal with another big blockbuster heading to local theaters for a while... Oh, wait, a wide release dinosaur movie hits next week. Damn it!
Okay, maybe I walked in front of a massive truck when I decided to include major blockbusters on the site.
Still, SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL THEATERS!
But this week's offerings are just the start. Head over to the Horror/Sci Fi/Fantasy Calendar for more great events happening in the Pacific Northwest until the end of the year. I'll be adding more content in the next few days, as I always do, so keep checking back!
Okay, I'm signing off for now. Stay safe and healthy, everyone, and I'll be back next week with more amazing events happening under The Shadow Over Portland!
