Greetings Friends, Family, and Fans! Once again it is time for The Monthly Entertainer. If you no longer wish to get this epistle of awesomeness, just hit the unsubscribe button and you will forever be removed or send me an email and I'll take you off. In the meantime... NEW NEWS: It's go time... So I took two weeks off. Kinda. Me taking time off, just means I slow down and ignore some things. I did sleep in, I did eat everything, I did ignore phone calls and emails, and I did spend a weekend in a wading pool. And then that all ended. It ended before that, but I refused to ruin my "vacation." Horrific Pix (www.horrificpix.com) has been open just shy of a month. It's not what I would call a smashing success, but it does bring in customers, both walk-in and advance ticket purchases. I've already swapped one room out. We're featuring art from CJ Duron. He's some some glass carvings displayed and he's going to come in and "do" the room. I did some painting this weekend and hopefully he'll be set this week or next for his end. I've also been upgrading some of the rooms - a little extra decor here, and little extra prop there...Little things go a long way sometimes. Here's a walk through if you want a look: Click here for video Haunted Oaks - www.hauntedoaks.com is going full tilt on the build. I've become very adept at this. I know what I want to deliver for the experience. Got some stuff planned for the jump scares that should freak people out. Not gonna lie, the opening sequence is gonna get people twisted. I'm going hard for sensory overload and reaching to push every button of fear, discomfort, anxiety, guilt, and any other trigger I can pull. Smell, dark, color, sound, temperature, closed spaces, religion, light, subliminal programming, things touching you... and that's just the first 40 feet. And you're not going to get through it quickly. And you're not going to enjoy it. After that there's some rooms with sensor surprises of light, sound, and motion. It'll be dark, there will be fog, massive sound, and creepiness. Things should be uncomfortable, you should be ready to pop and then the first jump scare hits, and it's gonna hit hard. I'm anticipating we'll be taking a lot of people out the emergency exit at this stage. The build is going fast and I'm digging through all kinds of stuff to make it horrible. Check it out on TikTok if you want spoilers/visuals. Yes, my hands still hurt. Trying to mix up the jobs so I don't damage them. As my friend Calvin said, rub some CBD oil on them. Gonna try that soon amigo! Fortunately, I don't have the level of detail to go into for this project as I did with Horrific Pix. We've announced that we're opening on Sept 23rd and already started doing pre-sales. Rock and roll!!!! I had a handful of solo gigs for August. Forgot how much I enjoy being a musician and how much easier the work is. for July and started breaking out some ideas I've been working on for the grant I was awarded. I'm still just playing around, but the response has been fabulous. People are loving it! I'm judging based on the tip jar, people dancing, and the amount of cell phone videos. I'm also out of stickers... Much work to be done there; I'm still very much in the research phase. It's fun to see the research coming out in the shows though. I've got my tech dialed in and I'm really good at it. Soon I'll be writing the material. And I'm itching to write!!! I haven't felt like this in years. Not gonna rush it though. Gonna milk that desire for all it's worth so when I have a minute it's pouring out of my soul. Got some house projects done as well. I know some of you are thinking, bruh... how trashed is your house? I've been reading about this for a decade. Well, I bought a fixer-upper. And everything needed to be fixed. And Texas is no joke for living in. Heat, rain, hail, wind, and pollen/mold/dust, and pestilence. So maintenance is necessary and things will still go wrong. But while much has been done, there's still a not too horribly long list of stuff to do. So ping-ponging between maintenance and projects keeps the progress inching along. But is fall festival season.... SA Veterans Day, Muertos Fest, Texas LoopFest, Zombiewalk, Holiday Gift Market, World Heritage Festival and a few other things thrown in for good measure will keep me up late and up early through November. Muertos Fest is turning a new corner. It's already the largest event in San Antonio and it's going to be on NBC, nationally. That's going to be a game changer for the event. SA Veterans Day exploded this year. The sponsor support is unlike anything I've experienced. Two stages, Coffey Anderson is our headliner, jet fly-over, parachute demo team, laser light show, military vehicles on site, vet orgs on site, food, art, beer, huge support from the Gary Sinise Foundation, US Army North, the City of San Antonio and on and on and on. It's a big deal. This is one of those great things to be involved with. It's an absolute honor. Zombiewalk is just getting going. We've announced the date and started advanced ticket sales. LOTS of work to be done there yet. Hunting down sponsors for that tasty little party as we speak. And the Holiday Gift Market. I love this (big) little, quite event. Low-key, not a lot of infrastructure, not a lot to do in advance. Just pack a ton of holiday vendors into Hemisfair, get some tasty snacks for sale, get a fun DJ spinning the holiday favorites, and let the shoppers know. Best part is, every vendor I had last year made a nice chunk of money. I love it when it's perfect like that. I've got some other social profiles - Tik-Tok, Instagram, or Facebook. There's different stuff on all of them. Also, whilst you're clicking, please follow my Youtube channel. Please purchase downloads at www.petersonentertainment.com.
