Heavy deconstruction

Hi all, I know I haven't updated nearly at all lately... I do have big plans here, I plan on reposting my work I've done for the Seattle ZomBcon this past year and I've got tons of material to review, tons of new authors to discuss, lots more zombie related mayhem and I plan on expanding this blog outside my usual postings on the living dead to classic horror and the monster movies that I love oh so much. There will be much retro goodness appearing here too, as is I find myself late to stumble onto things until well after they're done being cool or hold most things nostalgic near and dear to my heart... expect some classic video game reviews, I'll dig out some classic novels and comic books and offer up my opinion on them.
Finding adequate employment in this economy as well as looking after my own demon spawn takes up much of my time but I will try and focus my creative efforts to this project. So if you've stuck with me til now, I appreciate it; just hang tough because from here it only gets better!
I promise!

Updates

Greetings boils and ghouls, Shadow here. Many apologies in the lackluster amount of postings around here lately. As the summer starts drawing to a close and after the annual Red, White and Dead Zombie Walk in Fremont my attentions have been focused on updating the website for ZomBcon. [www.zombcon.com]
Some of the updates I've done for the website
-Red white and dead videos
-Dead West
-Breathers
-Zombie Safehouse competition

I'm too lazy to link everything at the moment but i will later. I have lots of projects in various stages of developments, drafting, design and editing... the latest creative endeavor I've embarked on is related to Steven Schlozman's Zombie Autopsies... other than that it's been all journalism, not much in the creative realm aside from my newly confirmed theory of infection... more on this later... just wanted to drop a line to say I still live and that when I come back there's going to be tons of stuff...

and possibly register a domain name of my own...

Bugging Out

In any disaster situation you may need to Bug Out of your current location and seek alternative shelter elsewhere, this may be your cabin off in the mountains or it could be a public shelter fortified against the onslaught.
Postings have been scarce lately, for that I apologize. Life has been getting more interesting as of late: my wee one has started walking and is making life fun and exciting, I've been seeking new employment and my work for ZomBcon has started taking off... I'm in the midst of conducting several simultaneous interviews with many well-known names in the zombie genre.

'THE ZOMBIE AUTOPSIES' | Book Teaser

I've had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Schlozman last year at ZomBcon. I recently was given a preview copy of this book and I can safely say without a doubt, it is AWESOME.

An ode to the baseball bat

There's always been a bit of special place in my heart for an unsung hero in the choices of zombie dispatch, and that's the good old fashioned baseball bat. If you're lacking in a weapon, many homes and small businesses keep one handy. Anyone can handle a bat, regardless of age or experience (you don't need to be a young million-dollar contracted athlete to wield one effectively). Sure it's flawed and it'll more than likely shatter or bend at the most inopportune moment (Murphy strikes again) but not with this beauty!



After a demonstration like that I am proud to have one of these in my arsenal. Some slight modification like griptape and a wrist loop and it'll be perfect.
