I have a lot of friends who are heading to London in the near future, most of whom are attending Star Wars Celebration Europe, so I thought I’d chime in with some of my favorite spots in my favorite big city. I think London is best enjoyed when you get away from the ultra-touristy spots, …
One week from today, I’ll be standing in line to get my badge for DragonCon 2015. The annual sci-fi/fantasy convention is like Christmas for my family, and I start planning and working on my costumes a year in advance. Over on EPBOT.com, Jen Yates has a wonderful list of DragonCon Survival Tips. But for those …
It all started on a Saturday night – well, Sunday morning – at 2:30 a.m., while sitting in the drive-through line at Krispy Kreme. We had just left the Masquerade in Atlanta, where Frank Turner and the Sleeping Souls had played the relatively cozy space in Hell. It was the first time we had seen …
Well, another Halloween season in the books! I’m not looking forward to the task of taking down my Halloween decorations (although my husband can’t wait for me to pack away the creepy antique photos). I’ve realized that just as some families have Thanksgiving and Christmas traditions, I have Halloween traditions that just can’t be missed …
Today marks the 30th anniversary of the opening of Epcot – then EPCOT Center – at Walt Disney World. If you grew up going to the park like I did, then you probably remember that, back then, EPCOT stood for Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow. Whatever name you give it, it is still my favorite …
It was rainy here in Atlanta today, and it made me think of this picture. It was taken in the rooftop garden of the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple in Singapore. The temple is in the middle of a very busy Chinatown, and Ed and I visited it right after an afternoon rainstorm. We had the …
Happy Halloween! I must say, this has been one of the best Halloween seasons yet for me. Here’s a quick recap of my October: My friend Coco and I really got into the haunts this year, visiting Netherworld, Chambers of Horror and Horror Hill. The Little 5 Points Halloween parade is not to be missed, …
On Sunday night, Coco and I decided that two haunts just wasn’t enough this Halloween season. At the recommendation of a few staffers at Netherworld, we made the trip to Newnan to check out Horror Hill. We weren’t disappointed. Actually, we were disappointed after the first of two houses. It was short and left a …
With two haunted houses already checked off of our October to-do list, it only seemed fitting that my friend Coco and I should go on a ghost tour. We teamed up with two of Coco’s friends to attend the Roswell Ghost Tour last night. I’ve wanted to attend the tour for several years now. I …
Going to Netherworld‘s two haunted houses is an annual tradition for me and my friend Coco. Last night, we mustered our courage and made the short drive to Atlanta’s top-rated haunt. The line was a little longer than we expected for a Tuesday night, but we waited only ten or fifteen minutes before we were …
