Hi everyone, Megan Evans here, the creator of the Gaslight Chronicles. I just wanted to share a few announcements. The weekly release schedule will resume on July 27th, as I need a bit of a time to catch up on recording and a chance to catch my breath. Gaslight Chronicles has also been picked up by Souk Radio, which means the format is going to change to fit a half an hour time slot. So I've been busily updating the previous 17-minute episodes to include bloopers, which we call fumes, and additional material and extra music. I'm also heavily involved with the art scene here in Souk, so if you're an art lover, Souk is the place to be the last few weeks of July. We have the Souk Fine Art Show that runs from July 25th to August 3rd at Sea Park Recreation Center, and in conjunction there will be a Salon de Refuse at the South Shore Gallery that will comprise of some of the pieces not selected for the Souk Fine Art Show. Also, the District of Souk is putting up new artistic banners throughout the town the week of July 20th, two of which feature my paintings of a raven and an octopus, which is pretty cool. The night market is also on at the Souk Region Museum on Thursdays from 5 to 8 p.m., and I will have many artistic works, cards, tote bags available at the night market on July 16th and July 30th only. Those are the only nights I'm doing this year. The Souk Arts Council will be having painting demonstrations with various local artists at the Souk Arts Council Gallery on the days of the Souk Fine Art Show. They are located at 2043 Church Road in Souk, and I will be there on July 29th to demonstrate acrylic painting. So there it is, July is crazy busy, and I really appreciate your patience as I enjoy creating these episodes. The Empress and the Inner Harbor uh episode will be released on July 27th.
