Awww fuck....



It turns out the Dragon's Breath shotgun shells I wanted are currently considered 'cop-killer' ammunition and are considered illegal in my current locale for my cave. Damn it! And I was so looking forward to the bonfire and sacrifices I was going to have by aiming my cannon and screaming "I'ma firin' mah lazor!!" while blasting flesh, coal, wood and homemade napalm with rounds of magnesium and phosphorous. Great, now I have to put it on my wish list along with the bola and flechette rounds. Ah well, I suppose it's only illegal if you get caught with them, right?

Oh, before I forget. Speaking of criminal acts, Krampus will be among the guests on the Rebel Radio show Wed. the 22'nd at 11 PM. Originally the plans were to enjoy some karaoke and libations, but being the bastion of freedom of speech seems to be more important these days.

BlogTalk Radio on the Naughty list?

Just when I begin to get into my comfort zone with Creature Feature, just as I begin to break it in and truly have something to call my own, then something interesting starts hitting the fan. I received an e-mail from Dan Kashman, the president of BlogTalk Radio.

Hello Creature Feature,

We want to let you know about some important upcoming changes to our free host services. You're a valued member of our community and we want to be sure you understand the changes in advance, and have time to plan for any adjustments to your show.

Beginning on February 1, 2011, the following changes will be made to your free host account. You will:

* Be able to conduct only one, 30-minute show per day
* Be able to upload and store a maximum of three audio files for use during your show
* No longer be able to schedule shows during prime time hours
* No longer be able to schedule private episodes

These changes will enable us to support the audio broadcasting needs of our rapidly growing community, while continuing to improve our host services and technology.

Special Limited Time Offer on Premium Upgrades
If you want to conduct longer shows, schedule during prime time, and remove limitations on uploads and downloads, while gaining access to even more tools, support, and exposure, we have put together a special offer.

So folks, it looks like not just Creature Feature, but ALL shows for the RLSH/RLSV communities will be affected. Beginning in February, BTR will be pushing the pay for play services harder than ever. And let's be honest, $30-40 a month adds up rather quickly from one's finances. It's the equivalent of a large meal or several cups of coffee at Starbucks. But to be honest, Krampus has better things to spend money on, like torture equipment and large, gnarled blades to sharpen. The point is that the times, they are a'changin' for BlogTalk Radio in the future. The show will effectively be cut in half, possibly moving to a new time slot, or simply saying fuck it and finding a better sandbox to play in. If anyone knows of a better site than BTR, please feel free to let me know. Yes, I DO have fans that will be happy to migrate with me to whatever service can be found. Otherwise, Creature Feature has too much Kramptastic goodness/badness to be contained by a half hour show with less callers and a different time slot. Stay tuned, my Creatures of the Night.

Helping Sword Kane 12/4

Due to pc problems, I was unable to post this last night. Sword Kane has a new blog up titled 'Eviction Urgent Help!'

I had been on LTD (Long Term Disability) for quite some time now, but I decided to try to go back to work for a trial period to see if I could handle it. I only lasted for two days, the pain and disorientation was too much for me to handle even on light duty. I returned to a follow up appointment with my neurologist and he confirmed my medical issues and wrote a paper in detail and sent it to LTD on why I cannot work.

LTD reviewed his papers, but denied my claim reguardless. Please don't be frustrated, but I am going to need everyone's help again. I am completely broke. I haven't had any income since October. I have nothing to fall back on except for the help of my friends which is everyone on-line. My family is not helping me at all through this ordeal, because they are financially unable to.

You guys are all I got.

The Landlord has only given me three days to pay him. No second chances this time. it's $540.00 that is the most important and urgent.

Please if anyone can help with rent and utilities. Any amount any help would be much appreciated. Collectively from everyone, I know you all can reach this mark for us.

My 7 year old daughter should not have to worry about not having a Christmas and being homeless. She has no idea what is even going on and it should stay that way.

My Paypal account is swordkane@yahoo.com

My mailing address for those who can pay with checks,money order or cash, has changed, get with me and I will supply the new address.


Thankyou all,
Swordkane

Unfortunately all spare finances have been spent due to holiday expenses for Krampus, so while I cannot aid financially, the least I can do is make people aware of this situation. Do what you can to help or someone will lose their money, their home and their family will be upheaved with no source of income in the immediate future.
