Hounding After Hours

2014 World Horror Convention - Portland, Oregon. It looks like general fun, and specific neat things.

I wonder if the Walking Dead cast will be there...I would walk there to see Daryl.

See? It's not too far-fetched! I've never seen the Left Coast, either. It sounds like a damned good time, too.

I think Jack Ketchum is going to be there! Or...I have to look again. But I think so.

I like that. Left Coast.

Now, that would be cool.

That is what the internet keeps saying, anyway!

Then it must be true!!!

*packs bags*

I got two short stories subbed out tonight. I feel so much better. Well, okay, a little bit better. Now, if they sell, I'll be close to happy.

That's great, Ted. I have a couple I need to get back out there. I should follow your lead.

I always feel better when something is sent out. I can handle rejection.

Is it just me, or is Haggis winking at us all?

That's not a wink. It's something much, much worse.

He is a SuperMod after all.

Night, I'm thinking we're coming up with a good plan here. I could bring the van down and pick you up and we'd head North to Oregon. This sounds like a great plan.

And maybe we could make this into a Houndie Thing. The whole lot of us.

Greg, how do you feel about me swinging up from TX to pick you up in my van, and together the three of us head North?

Um, nervou...

Er, great! Come on up. I've got almost a couple weeks of vacation coming. I figure spending most of that time trying to make bai..., er, freeloading on the sta..., er, running from the co..., er, hitchhiking down the freeway till arres... Aw, heck. Just come on up. It could be an adventure.

I'll make s'mores.

Oooh, are we taking a road trip? Awesome!! I'll bring the pitchforks. Erm. I mean, uh, hotdogs.

But I gotta be back by next weekend--Rhoda has tickets for the Backstreet Boys 20th anniversary world tour.

Not for next weekend - for World Horror Con, Rhoda!

Good thing it's a ways off, I've already used all of my vacation time for this year.

Good to see you, Rhoda!

I would love to go World Horror Con--and I seriously need to start scrolling up before I post things. I've met Jack Ketchum before, at Blood At The Beach a couple years back. He's a very chill guy.

Well, considering it's still a considerable length of time away (in the future for those who aren't living in the real world), I might even have 3-4 weeks vacation coming which would make it considerably easier to save up the bail money, collect the survival supplies (because you just know the zombie apocalypse is going to happen while we're on the road, especially considering it's a Hounds trip), and stockpile the ammunition and weapons I'll need for said trip.

The rest of you will, of course, have to see to your own, um, needs in those areas.

<starts cataloging ammunition, weapon, and explosives ingredient supplies>

geez, greg, I thought you were going to bring enough for everyone. All I have is a dagger. *sigh*

Greg, speaking of weapons, as I said a year ago * if you run into any good weapons deals, kindly let me know.

And while we're on the subject, I'm thinking our Road Trip to Horror Con just wouldn't be complete without us being heavily armed. But I'm also thinking Skunk Spore Bombs might be needed. 'Tis the season around here, you know? Nothing says, "I hate you more than life itself" than hurling skunk spore bombs at random people.

Lemme know, k?

Wha....

I don't even want to know, I think.

I'm thinking it'll be pretty damn ripe, myself.

I think I have the technology such that we could even turn the van into a moving movie theater for the horrorific and scaretastic.

Have you seen the 3D projectors out there? LG makes a huge system for pretty much scaring the crap out of everybody.

I haven't, but I'm going to have to look it up now, because that's awesome.

Links for 3D projection mapping. Cool stuff. This. This. This.

What gets me is how this could be used to a completely new type of storytelling. And it's perfect for horror.

Holy cow. Those are amazing, Ted.
