Transworld 2013

So we're home from the 2013 Transworld Hauntshow in St. Louis and damn...we had a good time! It's always great meeting old friends and creating new ones, talking with vendors about their products, visiting awesome haunts, partying at the bar...we could talk for days about all the happenings that went on but that's for another time.

We'd really want to say thanks to all the vendors, haunters and supporters of HDK who stopped us along the way to talk about the website and chat about haunt design with us. It's great knowing that something we're doing is reaching so many people and it has lit a fire under us to not only improve the website, but to create new things for you and create more avenues of educating people about Google SketchUp and haunt design.

Now for some personal thanks. First, to Rodney & Melinda Geffert and the rest of the team at Nightscream Studios. You all are amazing and we just want to say thank you for showing us such a great time! Thank you.

To Mike "Tattoo" Krausert and the fabulous team of Cutting Edge Scenic Design. Thanks for the opportunity in working with you all on the Interactive Haunted House. I don't know if the 3D model/layout of the haunt is appreciated by the people who saw it; but it's great just having a chance to be apart of something special. Thank you.

To Larry Kirchner and the Hauntworld team. Thank you for the chance to publish an article in the latest Hauntworld Magazine! Hopefully, it will educate and inspire people to now only better their own haunt design but to learn to great new skill with Google SketchUp. Thank you.


We'd also like to thank: Tim Bunch, Kip Polley and Pale Night Productions, Lauren Lobosky, Glenn Hetrick, The guys at Interactive Ticketing, Allen Hopps, Jason Baseman and the Devils Attic, Christopher de Troy, Nick Wolfe, The crew at Return of the Living Podcast, Dead House Designs, and Dark Raven Designs...you all are awesome and we're glad to have you crazy haunters as friends!

Last but not least, thanks to the very patient employees at the Renaissance Grand Hotel. They do an amazing job putting up with all of us and the three nights we were in St. Louis was perfect because of you. Thank you.


See you all next year!
