Monster Menagerie

Buy, Buy, Buy

November 7, 2011

No one is buying anything! I tried my hand at making monster related stuff and posted on this site. I also took the same items to craft shows. People like them one even took a picture, but will they make the effort to reach around and removed their wallets and shell out 6 bucks? Nope. The downturn is taking took long to recover and those with money are holding on to it dearly.

Amazon Wants Me Back!

October 8, 2011

I removed all pay-per-click ads from this site when Amazon canceled all California accounts when our Governor Brown signed a new tax law that would make it that all purchases made in California would be taxed. Amazon pulled all California affiliate accounts before the law took effect. Now the law has been removed and Amazon wants me back. They can kiss my Monstrous Butt! I had Amazon ads here for over two years and when they closed the account they took $20 to process the check so I ended...

Say "Goodbye" to all Ads on my Site!!!

July 5, 2011

Since Amazon has severed ties with all advertising affiliates in California, because they don't want to pay California sales tax, I've decided to pull all the ads here for all the affiliate programs that I entered. All programs don't payout unless you make $100. I've entered four programs and I've made about $29 -that I can't get. So screw them all! You know that I directed traffic directly or indirectly and they got free advertising from me. I'm done now! I'm done with Google Ad Sense, ...

Monsterpalooza 2011

April 23, 2011

I went to Monsterpalooza and it was great! I met John Skershock there and it was agreed that we would stick to the plan: He would write about the floor activities and I would write about the panels and events. Looking at the conflicting event times I suggested that John take one while I took the other. He couldn’t leave the booth that he was watching. I sat through all the panels that I could in the three days. There was one event that would cost an extra $15 –forget that! It cost 8...

Monserpalooza Countdown...

April 8, 2011

I’m off to Monsterpalooza 2011! I’ll be there at beautiful downtown Burbank to meet John Skerchock (of Scary Monsters Magazine fame). We agreed to tag-team write about the event and present the article to Scary Monsters magazine for publication. I wrote about Monsterpalaooza 2010 and John wrote about Monsterpalooza 2009, so John suggested that we combine efforts to properly capture the event on paper! Updates to be posted all this weekend!

I'm planning on going to Monsterpalooza in April! I'll be writing another review and sending it off to "Scary Monsters" magazine again, with hopes that it will get published! I will be taking more pictures and posting here. It looks like a good line up of monster movie guest will be there! There is one panel that I know that I won't go to. They want an extra $15 busks to see "The Hong Show" with actor James Hong. Sorry, it cost 8 bucks to park, I'm not going to shell out much more! They...
