Well…shoot me now or shoot me later but someone please shoot me. Hell has indeed frozen over and as you read on you will understand why. God…my fingers are gnarled and I can barely write this BUT…I think as many people as possible should go to HauntCon. I know…but read on. It seems that everything I’ve been predicting has come to pass in that apparently the numbers for HauntCon at this point are very low. Well, you know me…I should be dancing in the streets as there is nothing I’d like better than to see this thing and it’s owner go the way of the DoeDoe (sp). Unfortunately there are something like 9 haunts that have signed up for the tour that are in big trouble if people don’t show up…least among them are the JayCees. Now I know that a JayCee haunt is usually a $3 deal but supposedly these ones are different are actually quite good. The problem is that they are not allowed to carry any finances other than their operating costs from year to year and guess what…they have spent those costs on this tour fully expecting to do hundreds and hundreds of people…and it just doesn’t seem to be playing out that way.
In addition both Terror on the Fox and Timmer & Anne Marie Gavinski have spent a lot of money getting their haunts ready for the tour and could take a nice size hit should the numbers not pick up. Although the Gavinskis have asked Leonard for the sign up number repeatedly, he won’t give it to them leading them to believe that it is very small.
The bottom line is that if HauntCon goes down it is taking the whole ball of wax with it.
Based on that I think that if anyone was on the fence about going…and they can afford it…they should go. It would be great to see the numbers jump up by several hundred as that seems to be what everyone needs. Oh…and BTW…no need to pay to have dinner before the tour. Tim and Anne Marie have arranged for fresh Mexican food to be served right there…prepared at your table… before the tour at Morgan Manor. If I’m not mistaken it includes an open bar and it’s all for free so save your food money and put it towards the haunt tour.
I think that any haunt that signs up for HauntCon after this is crazy and deserves what they get…but as of now a lot of people stand to get really hurt if the numbers don’t get better so please give it some thought.
Thanks Rich shoot me now Hanf
