October Minnesota

Hello, everyone! I'm so glad I finally registered here. I've been watching from a distance for awhile, and decided to join a community of people who love and care about all thing autumn, particularly Hallowe'en, as much as I do!

My name is Kyle, and I'm from Minnesota. Some background on my screenname: Obviously, Minnesota is where I live, but it's much more. October, to me, is more than a month--it's a state of mind, a lifestyle. A few years back, I came up with the idea to write a short story, or series of stories, that take place in the ficitional small country town of October, Minnesota. Well, it's still a work in progress, but it's a true labor of love. Along the way, October Minnesota has also become the name of my acoustic band, and my amatuer photography "company", of sorts (mostly local customers, and personal photography).

Well, I grew up a bit, and while some projects fell by the wayside, the name stuck with me. Hallowe'en is only one day, and it definately deserves more than the whole month of October....I'm rambling.

Bottom line: My name is Kyle, I'm THRILLED to be here, and I look forward to learning as much as possible, and hopefully meet a few new people (anyone else from Minnesota around here?)
