October was packed full of good times. I don’t think this is all of them, but it’s all of them I can dig up goods for—or, that I can remember to dig up pics and links for.

Started out giving a zombie lecture to an auditorium of people at CU:

Then I was at the Lighthouse in Denver for Atlas Obscura’s way-cool, properly spooked-up event:

Then it was GoH’ing at MileHiCon, where I got to give a little mini-talk o…

Proud honored thrilled to be special guesting it then and there:

Or, what I was for Halloween, 2018 (all thanks to my wife):

And, let’s see if I can get this video to work:

Anyway, was cool to be one of my rock ‘n roll heroes for a day. First album I ever got? A record. KISS Destroyer.

Was there this weekend, giving a couple of talks for Permian Basin Writers’ Workshop. Always neat to walk through places I grew up. And, I realized: when I left Texas, I never considered that one thing I’d been taking for granted all along was Whataburger trash in the bear grass:

October, man, it’s a busy time for horror writers. Wouldn’t have it any other way:

Was a good time last night. My first time at the Mercury Cafe, too (Boulder people don’t get to Denver too often—it’s weird, I know, but neither do Denver people trek out here to Boulder much either). Meaning, I didn’t know what door to use, meaning: of course I ended up circulating at a wedding for a few minutes before finally asking the photographer where the horror reading part of all this was going to be.

One redirect later, I found my people:

Or, rather, in a …

Which you’d think would start here, at 7pm, as the sign says:

But, really, I was at Tattered Cover Colfax at 2pm, for a Denver Moon event, which went great, as you can tell:

On the way out, I caught My Hero in good company:

I so, so dig My Favorite Thing is Monsters. Very ready for vol.2. Really dug My Friend Dahmer, too.

Anyway, instead of finding coffee shop to write away some hours in (the scent of coffee leaves me dramatically gagging), I went to Discount Tire and worked on a ch…
