Busy Nights at Potters House of Horrors

Saturday, October 24th, 2009

Weekend number 2 is here and so far we are busy! Thursday night hit us by surprise. Not knowing that Surrey,Delta and Langley had a Pro D Day Friday for schools, we were surprised at the volume of customers. Nicely surprised.
Tonight being Friday was extra busy. Which means we have to keep a pretty steady pace [...]

Mission control, we have a problem!

Day 3 at the HoH

Monday, October 19th, 2009

Well it looks like the Pumpkin King broke his jaw last night. I had to wire his jaw shut as it was too dark to pull out the welder and fix him up. I am not sure that anybody even noticed that it wasn’t opening or closing? He is such a mammoth presence that the [...]

2 Nights and 14 to go

Sunday, October 18th, 2009

Opening Night, Oct 16th. What a blast. Bit of a slow start but that’s OK as it ramped up nicely. All the actors were in place and did a great job. We had a few glitches in sound, another in the bat drop but all were fixed instantly.
Night 2, had to be a perfect night. [...]
