Halloween weekend.
Last night, I had the
privilege of working at Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop. I picked up the shift as a bar back, but it
got so crazy that they allowed me to serve until we beat back the crowd. This now means that I have served drinks in
the largest nightclub and oldest bar in the country.
After we shut the doors, I got to tinker with a cellphone
ghost radar. For a while it showed
nothing, but when the building settled, and Bourbon Street emptied, we started
getting blips on the radar. The program
would display words randomly—conversations with the dead. We got CORN and VARIETY several times. Other words that appeared were HAT,
DIFFERENT, EASY, and SMOOTH. Who knows what
the spirits were trying to say.
Thanks for the night, cats.
I'll be at my normal bar for the rest of the weekend. Last night was the dress rehearsal—tonight the
madness starts.

We got the first piece of interior art. It's called "Porcine Problem Drinkers."
We want to include a lot of art, but we need help. Check out the AFTER THE HAPPILY EVER AFTER kickstarter
before time runs out. We're still
tinkering with its layout, so give us a look.

Managed to get 60 words out in the CAMPING TRIP prologue
yesterday. I'm pretty sure the words are
in their correct order, too. It doesn't
sound like a lot, but I also got the giveaway post up, read from my pleasure
book, played guitar, and worked 14 hours.
Feels like an accomplished day. This
weekend will sap a lot of time, but I plan on finishing the section and have it
up for Halloween to officially begin #closingcircles.
Today's giveaway prize:
THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA action figure by Reaction. Since no one answered yesterday's question,
the ALIEN blueray and CASTAWAYS paperback by Brian Keene are also include in
this package.
To enter let me know what music haunts you. Post a video in the blog comments or on the
facebook posts where this contest appears.
Happy haunting, creeps.
Nick Cave and Kylie Minogue:Where The Wild Roses Grow. I've always thought this could be turned into a horror movie. It's been one of my favorite songs for over a decade. It's haunting beautiful and sad at the same time.
