Sep 27th - A review for opening night

Posted by Bill Bickford on Wednesday, September 27, 2017,
Greetings foolish mortals.  Welcome to another addition of the BBP.  Today, I got a review of what I've seen at Knott's Scary Farm so far and a couple of brief news too.

Went to Knott's last Thursday, their opening night and it was kind of crowded, though a lot of it was for media night.  Speaking of media night, I was able to park for free and save $20 but that's because I'm BFB!!!

The way Knott's starts their Scary Farm event is by sending a bunch of "ghouls" from Ghost town into the crowd of...

Greetings foolish mortals.  Here we are on the threshold to fall and I'm super excited.  The weather is changing, yes, we have a cool, rainy morning here in SoCal.  Awesomeness at it's finest!!!

Tonight is the opening of Knott's Scary Farm and I've got the scare pass so I can go every single night til Halloween.  I do plan on getting many visits in during that time and checking out all the haunts.  Going to be a 'Most Excellent" time. 

I love this time of year.  The season change, yes we get i...

Greetings foolish mortals.  I know today is September 11th and while the day holds certain meaning to me, it now holds even more...Thankfulness.

September 8th - A journey begins

Posted by Bill Bickford on Friday, September 8, 2017,
Greetings foolish mortals.  Happy Friday and Happy September 8th.  While we're safe on the west coast of the US, my friends and family are preparing to deal with Hurricane Irma.  Sending positive vibes and thoughts over there and hope comes out well and unharmed.

So onto September 8th.  Today, as it has been mentioned every year since I started this site, I've recognized this date as a turning point in my life.  It all started this day, 31 years ago where a skinny, naive kid entered the world ...

September 1st - Welcome September

Posted by Bill Bickford on Friday, September 1, 2017,
Greetings foolish mortals and welcome to September.  Can already feel a change in the air, though it's very hot right now, but fall is around the corner.  That means the haunts are almost here too.  In just a few weeks, we'll be seeing all the excitement for Halloween.  And of course, football is here too!!!  Baseball is almost over and while my team hasn't done great, they're rebuilding and making progress.  Maybe next year, but then again, that's been my slogan for them for so long.  Oh wel...
