Good, very, no, zing.

We're going to be.

And so

you. The The Good evening and welcome to monsters among us.

I am your guide, Derek Kays.

Good evening indeed.

It's another nasty day here in Southern California. They're calling for

some snow, but right now we're just getting pelted with rain off and on mixed with fog and

other nasty weather. The good news is that our lake, Lake Arrowhead, is actually at full

capacity for the first time and I don't know how long, possibly 10 years or so.

So that's kind of exciting.

I have a great show lined up for you guys, at least I think I do.

I'm going to do something a little weird and I'm doing this mostly for my enjoyment.

Tonight's episode is a grab bag episode, so I have not heard any of these stories that I'm about to play.

The only thing I know is the name of the person that submitted it and vaguely what it's about.

So I'm going to try to arrange these in a way that they play well off of each other.

I have no real reason for doing it this way. I just thought it would be a fun way to put together an episode this week.

So hopefully this goes well and hopefully you guys

enjoy it. Now before we get started, I have a humongous announcement to share with you guys.

I just found this out maybe an hour ago and I'm pretty excited about it so I wanted to share right

away. I will be this year's guest speaker for the town hall meeting at the 2019 Crypticon in Lexington, Kentucky.

Now, the dates for this aren't until September, so you have plenty of time to arrange travel and, you know, that kind of thing, if it's something you're interested in attending.
