As many of you know...
I attend Horrorfind Weekends in Maryland every August.
It's a chance to:
meet up with my friends from HF forums
build a Haunted House in 8 hrs
attend Haunt Seminars
meet new people
network with people in the Haunt business
maybe meet some Horror celbs
watch horror movies on the big screen outside
The time between conventions is a like forever & a day. Yes, there is a March HFW con. But, it tends to be smaller then Aug. & you can't hang outside with friends till the wee hours with chilly weather. This year the convention is in a different city (Adelphi) & that means a different Marriott hotel. For those that attended the last 8 HFW's, Hunt Valley Marriott was our yearly home away from home. This other hotel will take a bit of getting used to but, it'll grow on us. I got a report back from a few friends that attended the March con this year at the new location. Not from a lack of planning but, there were definately growing pains on both sides (hotel & the con). Rest assured that things will be ready for August. It's been hard counting the days till the next convention. But at the sametime it helps a little.
