Here is a good place for a call to action.

It Was Halloween and Links Were Leaking!

by

Look Out Behind You!

Disguises and mystery were part of a Halloween Open Comment Night as people showed up as their alterego or even the alterego or their alterego. We had our own version of the Bloggy Horror Picture Show. The Dread Arachnid terrorized us and may have eaten Boxcar Willy and we know that Darth Varder ate Jar Jar as B-B-Q even before the show. So it was no real surprise when the links started leaking as they always do.

The Link Leak Virus seeped into every thing we saw. — The Link Leak Virus is a special strain of the indie virus with blogtipping mutations that occur in threes at Open Comment Night they become a link free-for-all.

Welcome to all of the new folks who came. It was great fun having you!

You should see the links that everyone was treated to..

And now for the Ghastly, Ghostly Plot of Horrors

Thanks to Rick Cockrum who did the honors of gathering the dirt on the despicable deeds done there.

Another Halloween has gone
Ghosts and Goblins wandered on
The crowd was rowdy with their pranks
At Open Mic we shared their ranks

Boxcar Willie sang a song
But as he left the lights went down
Dread Arachnid crept behind
Coldly thinking “he is mine!”

Dawn her maw the hobo went
Another young life bravely spent
While Darth Vader picked his teeth
With the ribs of Jar Jar Binks

Spirits Spirit watched and played
Her ghostly light a lovely shade
While brave Sir Wyngvar cowered and prayed
To keep his wings for one more day

But as the spirits of evil fled
The lights came out and reality led
To talk of blogging tools and tricks
Another other handy writing tips

Roger found the blogging tool
Wordpress seems to be the rule
He also had an icon to see
Where baby feeding can safely be

Chris was in his birthday suit
He though Vader was brute
And found his breath a haunting fear
Softly whispering in his ear

Renee was here with her brand new dress
Her blog has found its happiness
With Katiebirds’s they both impress
New clean lines they do express

bj came, a gypsy dream
Reading palms, dreaming dreams
While warning of the WordPress greed
For memory it has a need

Delaney came as a little mouse,
With colors and crayons for every house
Char decided she was ‘char’ treuse
Dressed in black, it was no ruse.

Later as the party slowed
cat arrived, tip in tow
Of photography for Halloween
How to watch the pumpkins preen

She found books at Sandra’s house
Of focus and writing – Can we all be Proust?
We all saw the bathroom blogs
Where women’s rooms are judged by all

And don’t forget the microloans
We can all finance an investment boom
Finally Michael stopped right in
To tip his hat, we were all done in

Others came to spread their cheer,
Christine, Starbucker, Ah Pek, and Carl
Couldn’t stay but to give a smile

And so another mic did end
Thank you Liz for inviting us in.

Thanks to Rick for writing this. And thank you everyone for coming! I need a nap now. I think. In the meantime. Please don’t go down into the basement, if you think the killer’s there.
