happy belated halloween! if you wanted to celebrate this weekend, you're cordially invited to attend our Hallowzine Party!
this is a zine my partner put a lot of love and care into that describes a beautiful, festive celebration of the spooky season: snacks, costumes, activities, movies, and music are provided! the drawings and photographs are all original, and feature some of my own childhood keepsakes. it's available in both printable and digital forms.
i helped out with the film list (some of our favorite horror from the 1960s) and the mix tape (a thematic exploration of a descent into madness in the woods via the lens of progressive, death, and doom metal). if those sound at all interesting to you, i highly recommend them!
i also helped out with some of the technical aspects, including assembling the PDFs. desktop publishing is at best a remote hobby of mine, but i had fun with it and learned a lot in the process!
there's a good chance we'll put together some similar things in the future; if you like this one, let us know. :)
i've been a little uneasy with every embed of every page just using my avatar as the preview image, so i've gone ahead and updated my opengraph metadata generator to pick the first image out from an article if there is one. this means a new util function. is this feature creep? scary...
