Silent Auction: To Benefit Team Halloween!

** Last year we raised $1,400.00, let’s see what we can do this year! **

Once again, some members will be cleaning out and donating their Halloween items for a silent auction to raise money for Team Halloween. Team Halloween is a charitable project, started by Mike Krausert of Bad Boys Scenic Design & Terror on the Fox, Nightmare New England and Spookyworld that raises money for cancer research & support. All money raised will be donated to the “Massachusetts Breast Cancer Coalition” (MBCC). So, bring cash and maybe you will find a treasure while contributing to a worthy cause!"

2010 Haunting Travels Begin

So far this year, I've been to the East Coast. And, as usual, it was fabulous. Now, I start in earnest to book trips to all the Halloween events I want to go to. I've made a list on the side there (see, over there? no a little further to the right, now down just a bit and BINGO) of events I'm hoping to get to.

I've already booked tickets to HAuntCon (SWEET) and should have no problem going to the show in Chicago since, well, I live in Chicago. Still on the fence regarding St. Louis but will DEFINITELY be going to Midwest Haunter's Convention. And, of course, my life would be incomplete without the East Coast Haunt Club, so, Nashua is a must for me (as it should be for you).

If you know of any other events I should go to, or you think should be listed here, just drop me a line.

Now, ready the horses and prepare to ride!

2010 HauntCon

I just booked my airfare for HauntCon!!! I think that means that the Halloween Season has officially begun, right?

See everyone there in April!

Boston's Museum of Science

So, I'm in the museum and decided to take a few pictures of the scary looking cats. I take this one. . .
Then turn around to take one of the black kitty and it turns out like this. . .

That's wierd, so I take another. . .

. . . and another. . .

And a bunch more that look the same. So, I decide to put the flash on and see what happens . . .
I think there's a soul in that, there kitten.

'nother Project

OK, Mark can't sit still for more than 5 minutes. He needs to always be making something. After the Friendly Plastic beer stein, battery packet for a LED black light and the dinosaur, he created this new boomerang canister.

Mark's Project

Mark ran out of projects, so Chris gave him this to do . . .

Fun with Haunters

As Chris hurried down the hallway, he caught a glimpse of this out of the corner of his eye and screamed.

Cool Hologram

I'm trying to get Chris and Mark to make me this. They claim they can't.

Where'd I go?!

I've been remiss in posting lately. Between the holidays and accepting a new position at work, it's been a mad house. A MAD HOUSE!!!

But, fear not, my pretties. I'm back. And this time, it's casual.

I'm heading back to the East Coast on Friday. A group of us are hitting the Harry Potter exhibit, getting some good eats and. . . wait for it. . .wait for it. . . DRINKING!! Ok, maybe our drinking won't be legendary this time out.

Then, Saturday is all about costume making for HauntCon.

So, I'll post pictures of me and all my East Coast Haunties upon my return.

Oh, and, HAPPY NEW YEAR! Here's to another great year of Halloween goodness.
