It's time for another Weekly Update!

Well, I've got all my boxes unpack after the move, but I still have to figure out where everything goes.  Of course, I just jammed stuff on shelves and into cabinets just to empty the boxes, so finding things can be a bit of a challenge.

 

Yeah, the living room is a work in progress.

But I'm still dedicated to getting the Weekly Update on schedule, as some great Horror/Sci Fi/Fantasy movies movies and stage events are happening in the Pacific Northwest.  Here's hoping we get more live stage events and cons in the coming months, and you know you'll find all the details at the Horror/Sci Fi/Fantasy Calendar.

Well, got to go figure out how to arrange my kitchen.  But I'll be back next Friday with more great things happening under The Shadow Over Portland.
