Inky the Octopus rumored heading to the Port of LA

News story

Driven by a sentience from down below, Inky the Octopus escaped his enclosure through a small opening. He slid across the floor during the night and squeezed his body through a narrow pipe leading to open water. A trail of slime and ichor was all that was left. Octopuses have broken out of sealed observation containers and closed aquariums; some escaped multiple times to eat the inhabitants of nearby aquariums. Whispers of the Great Lord' Cthulhu's awakening have circled the globe. Inky, not wanting to miss His invocation, chose to ride the El Nino currents. We fear for Inky's safety.

Great Olde Ones Gone...for now

News story

The San Pedro Festival 2016 is over. Our "most accursed rites of human blasphemy... called him for a moment" and then was gone. Rites that included the base lamentations of writers awed and horrified at our cosmic insignificance, artists creating new works while merchants sold strange artifacts. Friday was the twin hammers to the head of Black Mountain Side and The Mist. Walpurgisnacht Saturday had panels and a NEW play adaptation of The Colour Out of Space, and the psycho freakout of The Dunwich Horror Picture Show.
