Happy Halloween! Happy 16th, Purging Talon!
“Halloween is the night / The legend says the ghost will rise
On Halloween they can’t redeem / A restless soul from an ancient scene
At the sound of the demon bell / Everything will burn to Hell
Rise… rise… rise… It’s Halloween
Rise… rise… The ghost will rise”
- Mercyful Fate
Yes, today marks the sixteenth year of Purging Talon’s existence. Sweet sixteen, and been kissed by EVERYONE! Well, okay, maybe not everyone. There might be some folks out there who actually don’t like me or my media output for some reason. Heck knows the local media has avoided my press releases this year, and for Halloween, specifically. (I’m looking at you, Seven Days.) I can’t imagine why. I’m actually a very nice fellow. Charming, affable… and much better dressed than you are. But, anyhoo…
It’s been quite the journey with, seemingly, no end in sight. I suppose that one day, I’ll be too old to read an audio or video timeline on a screen, or be able to properly type text for a new book, but that day is (or should be) long off. Still working on some book projects, but time is really the obstacle right now. Probably that whole college degree thing. Oh, and the little old thing I do with Jason on a couch on Sunday nights with the lights off.
Yes, I mean Terror Transmission, you filthy rubes! Sometime today, I will have the new episode uploaded and ready for your consumption. I’ll post about it here tomorrow, but if you want it earlier than that, you’ll have to get it either from the official site or from iTunes. And you should. It’s a good one. Scout’s honor.
Speaking of the show, we’re doing a big party for it tonight. It’s not entirely open to the public but if we know you, it’s possible that a simple and timely e-mail might get you an invitation. (You might also have to be in the area, naturally.) We’re going to paint the tyke green, for crying out loud, and that alone is worth showing up for! Plus, we’ll get lots of candy, just like little Tommy wanted in the movie, Halloween. The difference, of course, is that we’re totally going to nail the babysitter.
I’m going to be pretty busy this weekend, so if you need to reach me, best method is my phone. If you know the number, then you’re probably someone I wish to hear from. If you don’t, then go get your own damn treats!
Wishing many of you a wonderfully wicked Halloween. That one night of the year when everyone gets to pretend to be us. And isn’t that special?
