Limited Posting Through October
By Jonathan Bailey • Oct 14th, 2009 • Category: Articles, Housekeeping  photo credit: Svenstorm |
Regular readers of this site are probably very familiar with this drill but I’m going to be on semi-hiatus for the duration of the month. I’ll likely only be doing a few updates per week and will also not be doing any additional podcasts for the rest of the month.
The reason is simple, it’s October and every year I run a charity-oriented haunted house in New Orleans. It’s a small affair, taking place in our garage, but is a major build, especially in the weeks before opening.
This year things are even more stressful than usual as I’ve recently started a new position and have to maintain those duties while working on the haunt.
So if posting is a little bit slow for the next few weeks, please forgive me. I’ll return to a more normal posting schedule in November after Halloween.
On days where posting isn’t possible, I’ll try to highlight some of the older posts on the site for new readers and also maintain the 3 Count column to keep everyone abreast on the latest in copyright news.

You might be interested in this: Trockle, my little monster under the bed, is just dying to be turned into a Trockle-Lantern for Halloween, so I'm running a little contest: http://jahangiri.us/news/2009/10/14/trockle-lan... No big prizes, just lots of fun, I hope!
Holly, this is a sad confession, but I've never actually carved a pumpkin in all of my life. Ever. I build haunted houses and can make elaborate costumes, but I've never carved a pumpkin.
However, I will have to pass this on to my wife, she is the artist and the one that has done it before.
You should try it some time, Jonathan! It's very…therapeutic. And fun. And you don't have to be a perfectionist about it or anything! LOL
Something like this one would be right up your alley! http://jahangiri.us/news/2008/10/25/haunted-pum...
How about when your Haunted House is done you give us video tour of it?
Oh, that would be cool! I want to see the falling ceiling.
Did I mention that my daughter was an actor in a Haunted House for a year or two? Loved the job.
Hey, I followed on from Damien's blog. Congrats on winning post of the month, it's a clear, concise article which you've compiled with lots of thought for people's questions.
