Another fine transmission!! Especially enjoyed the Twin Peaks/Windham Earl stuff…. I think I need to watch season 2, again.

I watched Creepfest 201 and 202. That Alone in the Dark Episode was really good. Have you guys actually done 200 of those? Where are they? At first I thought these were old, but it said 2014 at the end? I don’t remember you talking about doing those this fall but maybe I missed it. So that’s one thing I wouldn’t mind hearing more about, or those friends…you are funny together.
I would like to hear if you ever think about that town you wished you could move to. I think it was some time in the last year….you were on a vacation (was it to see a movie fest that Joe Bpb Briggs was at?) and were really taken by the town and imagined moving there. I find myself having that experience on some trips. And notice how powerful the feeling can be and then fade away. Is it an illusion due to the relaxation of a vacation or does it happen when things in your life where you live suck. Either way I remember enjoying that episode.

Thanks Nate! I wish there were 200 episodes, but I just used the “2-0” prefix as something like a season indicator, to show that this was a kind of “second season” for “Creepfest”, since we hadn’t done one in so long. I’ll need to find some of the older shows; they’re spread out between Me, Jason and Vince (Vince is living in a van in L.A. right now so I have no idea if he even has a TV anymore!). Anyway, thanks again for your comment. I’ll talk about Nashville, Indiana on the next episode, and e-mail me (Mike@midnightcitizen.com) if you want me to send you a journal!
