If you listen to KXRT, our little internet radio operation, you’re in for a big treat! No tricks! Coming October 31st to KXRT it’s the Big Halloween Broadcast 2009!

All day we will be playing great Halloween music, ghost stories and more. At 6pm, we will be playing 100% Spooky Sound Effects to set the mood for the evening. Then at 7pm, we go 100% Live! We’ll have our USTREAM.tv video feed up and running and will start taking your calls. We would like to hear your Halloween stories and your scary ghost stories. We’ll also talk about your best or worst costumes you’ve worn or have seen. You can also wish your friends and family a Happy Halloween, live on the air! Finally, at 8pm, we will play the entire original 1938 Mercury Theatre production of The War of the Worlds by Orson Welles!

Here’s some basics you’ll need to best enjoy BHB 2009:

I don’t get it! In my life, I’ve learned a very simple truth: if you want time to go fast, it creeps along; if you want time to be slow, it just zips past you like you’re standing still!

Here we are in the middle of October, in 2009! In just a matter of weeks, it will be a whole new decade! It blows my mind. I still remember thinking the 90′s were cool! Then I really remember the whole Y2K phenomena where the digital world would screech to a halt at the stroke of midnight. Planes were going to fall from the sky, satellites would fly out of their orbits, all communication would be muted because some short-sighted programmers didn’t use a four digit year code.

Of course, it turned out to be pretty anti-climatic. Either companies and governments (who spent millions) were saved by last-minute preparations, or maybe it wasn’t a big deal. But here we are, nearly 10 years later. Oh yeah, you can’t forget September in 2001. A huge life and world-changing event. (Where are those fancy new towers??) This decade has been historic in a lot of senses. The Y2K business, the 9/11 tragedy, Shock & Awe, Hurricanes, Tsunamis, the first black US President… You know that song from 1989 by Billy Joel, “We Didn’t Start The Fire”?? That song was about 4 minutes long and covered events from almost 90 years of history. Someone could easily write a new version that just covers the first 10 years of the 21st Century and have each event be entirely familiar!

Disneyland Trip – 2.0

Disney @ Halloween

We were invited to join Dave, April, Ian, Debs and Jake at Disneyland to help celebrate Ian’s 4th birthday and a belated wedding celebration for Debs and Jake.

We had already been to Disneyland earlier this year in February as a treat from my Mom, who was having a birthday and wanted to treat us. People looked at us and scoffed wondering how we could be so rich to afford going twice. We really didn’t pay for the first time.

We were able to get really good tickets at Dream Vacation Builders. They were 5 day Park Hopper tickets at the price of 3 day tickets and they were even discounted further. We stayed 4 days and had a blast the entire time!

We had a great Halloween this year! I will post some pics later today or tomorrow. Wyatt dressed as The Incredible Hulk, Rachel was a Ghost-ish creature, Bekah was an Ice Princess, and I was a Pimp (Big Daddy, officially). We had a lot of great trick-or-treaters come to the house dressed in their Halloween Best. Tons of kids. Even some repeat business (Jr. High Kids!). We had a lot of good compliments on our decorations! It was pretty great.

Halloween 2008

Wyatt had quite a haul! We’re getting double dental coverage starting next January! We gave out almost all our candy! The weather was almost perfect. It was mild out and just sprinkled a couple times for a few minutes.

All in all, just a fun day!
