A few weeks back I mentioned that the Rocky Mountain News, the largest and most widely-distributed newspaper in Colorado, did a fun little article on us for their “What's Happening” page of their entertainment section.

Apparently one of the editors had seen our car and found our myspace page. He emailed me and asked me to write a little blurb about what we'd be doing during the weekend and the weekend after. I asked if it would be okay for us to bullshit a little and make an article that is fully of fictional techno-gibberish…. and he said that was what he actually wanted.

The first paragraph was written by the editor of the Rocky Mtn News, and is in my opinion pretty much the coolest set of words placed in a particular order about us and the car that there has been so far…


The bits after “What did you do last weekend” are mine…


Brief history of our paper news coverage—-

Halloween 2006 - full-color quarter-page article in the Neighbors section of the Fort Collins Coloradoan

December 2006 - full color half-page article on the cover of the Local section of Fort Collins Coloradoan

February 2007 - Coverstory and 5-page article in the Rocky Mountain Chronicle

April 2007 - quarter-page story in the entertainment section of the Rocky Mountain News

Thoughts? Reactions? Comments from the peanut gallery?

Awesome just about sums it up. (^_^) I'm glad to see the real media can have fun with Ghostbusters as we like to do.

You're probably known all over the state by know!

Actually they might be known worldwide because of the internet. I know past news updates at GBI have been about them and their articles/covers.

I know the GBI site is visited by countries world wide. (*peter)

Spengs… you gotta stop derailing every thread by going off about GBI! Also, where have I been mentioned on the GBI site?

Sorry, was just stating that you're known (at least on-line, of course) outside of CO. You and your articles were mentioned in past news updates. The past news updates have been archived, they're not all on the site yet.

Sorry again for any derailing.

Sorta unrelated…

Took the Ectocar up to Estes Park tonight. After being approached and applauded by every county cop and local police officer on duty, we shot some video, buzzed by the Stanley Hotel, and grabbed some dinner. On the way back out we swung by the dam and took some pictures.

They came out WAY cooler than we expected…. check it out.

Congrats! Your Ecto is Awesome!

Whoa that place looks just like Stryker's underground base at Alkali Lake.
