Being the nice guys they are, Ray takes Mrs. Rogers back to the firehouse (HQ) until this ordeal is over. Little did they know Mrs. Rogers is more then she appears to be! Mrs. Roger's Neighborhood thread. April 1, 2006 - Site News: Archived News - 12:47 PM EST Posted By: Richard Roy, Director Of Ghostbusting Ops We think we finally figured out a plausible way to archive site news. With that in mind, we put January 2006, February 2006, and March 2006 into the news archives. April 8, 2006 - Site News: Saturday Mornings Are Here - 9:04 AM EDT Posted By: Richard Roy, Director Of Ghostbusting Ops Saturday mornings from 20 years ago can only be back for so long. Plus this is probably a reason why we need more of a marketing department. This coming Tuesday is my birthday and to celebrate in part Ghostbusters International® is We also reorganized our RGB episodes, listing them in order to cause less confusion. We've also added more episode notes, comments, goofs, even references where applicable. This weekend Slimer Comes Home. Where was he, under a Troll Bridge? Or hiding in the closet? Hopefully its not the one where The Boogieman Cometh. April 8, 2006 - Event News: Ghostbusters II Screening - 9:59 AM EDT Posted By: Richard Roy, Director Of Ghostbusting Ops Bryan Fear, CEO of Westcoast GBs and his staff will be* at the La Jolla Village Cinemas in La Jolla, CA tonight for the midnight showing of Ghostbusters II.

April 8, 2006 - Event News: Pittsburgh Comicon - 10:44 AM EDT Posted By: Richard Roy, Director Of Ghostbusting Ops I apologize that this wasn't posted sooner. We weren't contacted about it this year. Sometimes we miss updating the site with convention or other event news. On April 21st through April 23rd, 2006 Bo Holbrook, CEO of Nightsquad and his staff* will be at the Pittsburgh Comicon. If you're in town for the weekend, he's inviting ghostheads to party with Nightsquad. *Ghostbusters International® can't be held responsible for a change in a franchise's schedule. April 15, 2006 - Site News: A lot Of News - 4:00 PM EDT Posted By: Richard Roy, Director Of Ghostbusting Ops Just a note that this Saturday's update has a lot of news postings. That's not uncommon when Ghostbusters International®'s Director Of Operations gets backed up with the work that eventually makes ghostbustersinterntional.com. Which sometimes has to take a back seat to personal matters. I spent two separate mornings (one on my birthday) at the hospital this week trying (and finally being successful) in taking care of a "dental situation." And a third, separate afternoon was spent at the hospital seeing my hematologists. Otherwise some of today's news could have been posted during the week. If we're able to, their may be an update tomorrow. With more updates coming next week. April 15, 2006 - Franchise News: Yes, They're Back. - 4:14 PM EDT Posted By: Richard Roy, Director Of Ghostbusting Ops Our friends in Maryland are finally back in business. Having been on a long hiatus for personal reasons and there was this incident one time with some harbor water turning green. Thankfully The Maryland Ghostbusters led by CEO Dr. William Ketchum were cleared of all charges. Which infuriated certain government officials. Hope they calm down because Baltimore and other parts of Maryland will be seeing more of our MDGBs. No, not in court!* Throughout the city keeping residents and business owners safe from paranormal activity. *Ghostbusters International® can't guarantee any of our franchises will end up in court...again. April 15, 2006 - Franchise News: Oh Toronto, You Know Who To Call - 4:30 PM EDT Posted By: Richard Roy, Director Of Ghostbusting Ops Up until now if you lived in Canada (mostly outside Toronto) and had a paranormal experience you've only had a few choices. Calling the only two GBI franchises in Canada, calling Ghostbusters International®, or hoping it would just all go away. It usually doesn't and this is now where CEO, Dr. Scott E. Moyle and Drs. Ashley J. Williams and Casey Hudecki come in. They're the ladies and gentleman of Ghostbusters Toronto. Serving all of Ontario's supernatural elimination needs! April 15, 2006 - Event News: Comic Convention & Free Comic Books - 4:40 PM EDT Posted By: Richard Roy, Director Of Ghostbusting Ops Ghostbusters Toronto* will be at the Paradise Comics Toronto Comicon the weekend of April 28-30th, 2006.

More information will be found in our events area in the near future. *Ghostbusters International® can't be held responsible for a change in a franchise's schedule. April 15, 2006 - Ghostbusters Mention: Wizard - Issue # 174 (April 2006) - 6:10 PM EDT Posted By: Richard Roy, Director Of Ghostbusting Ops Issue # 174 of Wizard magazine gave The Real Ghostbusters a nice mention when they called RGBs "the creme de la creme of '80s cartoons." Like us mostly, "they'll take what they can get," but also hopes Sony Home Pictures Entertainment will release season sets. Thanks to protoncharging for the news and a scan of the blurb. April 17, 2006 - Site News: Tech Article - Quantum Physics and Proton Pack Operations - 2:14 PM EDT Posted By: Richard Roy, Director Of Ghostbusting Ops Last year at the earliest Dr. Greg Justis wrote an article on quantum physics and how that relates to the operation of a proton pack. Its based on a much more complex article and lectures from Drs. Spengler and Stantz. We had planned to put up Dr. Justis' article much sooner...we just never got around to it. Until today. You can read his article edited by me here.* More technical articles will be on the site as the week progresses. Quanum Physics and Proton Pack Operations thread.* *Security level clearance 6 and above authorization only. April 17, 2006 - Site News: Tech Article - PKE Meter - How To Build - 4:24 PM EDT Posted By: Richard Roy, Director Of Ghostbusting Ops Bryan Fear, CEO of West Coast Ghostbusters wrote this "how to"* article on building a PKE Meter. Its not a walkthrough tutorial with step-by-step directions. However, it can give a ghostbuster a good idea on what's needed to put a PKE Meter together. As long as you have the parts and know how. Ghostbusters International® is working to provide a more through tutorial. *Security clearance level 1 and above authorization only. April 18, 2006 - Site News: From Spengs' Lab (Egon) - How To Make Slime - 4:04 PM EDT Posted By: Richard Roy, Director Of Ghostbusting Ops Another oldie, but goodie. At least where I come from. Years ago, Ghostbusters Intenational's® R&D along with our franchises came up with a way to make ectoplasm aka slime. I think we did this so we could study ectoplasmic properties without having to remove paranormal entities from the protection grid. In recent years improvements to containment technology have allowed for easier methods in our ongoing paranormal studies. Why then do we still make slime? Dr. Spengler would probably disagree with this answer. We make it for fun. It can be an interesting, if not messy distraction. If you would like to make slime, check out our fun, er educational article called How To Make Slime.* Which was written by Dr. Norm "Paranorman" Gagnon. *Security clearance level 3 and above authorization only. April 21, 2006 - Site News: Event Area - Updated - 4:56 PM EDT Posted By: Richard Roy, Director Of Ghostbusting Ops Our Events area has been updated with information for possible conventions in June so far. As well as information for our (meaning where GBI will be represented) first international convention. (See news for April 15th.) Which is coming up the first weekend of July. If you know of an event, convention, or screening for the movies, please let us know. If you'll be attending all the better. April 22, 2006 - Site News: The Real Ghostbusters - Enter Sandman - 4:41 PM EDT Posted By: Richard Roy, Director Of Ghostbusting Ops Not sure if anyone was expecting another episode of The Real Ghostbusters to air this weekend. Considering the "triple threat" we provided on April 8th. And how last weekend their wasn't a "new" episode because of my "dental crisis." We were planning on putting up the "newest" episode this morning. However, in a way the Sandman got me and after waking up I realized I had very little to make for breakfast. I made my way out on a rainy, cold (that's not right) spring NYC/Metro Jersey day to go grocery shopping. Its fitting that in today's episode, Sandman, Dream Me a Dream The Real Ghostbusters have to figure out how to deal with a Sandman. Whose bent on putting everyone to sleep, including the RGBs. Sandman, Dream Me a Dream thread. April 22, 2006 - Event Reminders: Ghostbusters II Screening & Convention - 5:19 PM EDT Posted By: Richard Roy, Director Of Ghostbusting Ops Why would you need a reminder? We forgot so we figured you might want a reminder too. Last night the River Oaks Theater in Houston, TX screened Ghostbusters II at midnight. If you're in the area, they're screening it again at midnight. If you were at last night's screening or tonights (if you're reading this after tonight) we'd love to hear about it. Don't live in Texas or Houston's just too far? If you're closer to Monroeville, PA maybe you want to attend the Pittsburgh Comicon which ends tomorrow. Its also where Bo Holbrook, CEO of NightSquad and his staff* are hanging out. *Ghostbusters International® can't be held responsible for a change in a franchise's schedule. April 24, 2006 - Event News: New Star Con - 9:34 AM EDT Posted By: Richard Roy, Director Of Ghostbusting Ops This morning while I'm checking news sites, (we're not always contacted with information firsthand) one of our "field agents," Robert Knippels from the Netherlands informed the fan base that our Ernie Hudson* will be one of the guests at New Star Con which takes place in Rijswijk, Holland the weekend of May 13-14, 2006. We do know Robert* is suppose to be at the convention. If you're in the area, come meet and greet with Robert and of course Ernie Hudson. ;) *Ghostbusters International® can't be held responsible for a change in a Mr. Hudson's schedule. *Ghostbusters International® can't be held responsible for a change in a franchise's schedule. April 24, 2006 - Event Recap: La Jolla Village Cinemas Ghostbusters II Screening - 10:07 AM EDT Posted By: Richard Roy, Director Of Ghostbusting Ops On April 8th, (see news above) Bryan Fear, CEO of Westcoast GBs and his staff attended the La Jolla Village Cinemas screening of Ghostbusters II. Someone bought a big slide of Vigo from the gift shop. And we're not sure, we think Bryan was possessed. You know we charge the theater more when that kind of thing happens. For more of a recap, check out the pictures on the West Coast Ghostbusters site as well as our forums. April 24, 2006 - Prop News: Slime Packs - 11:32 AM EDT Posted By: Richard Roy, Director Of Ghostbusting Ops One of our international vendors and franchises, Paranormal Labs offer slime packs for sale.

April 25, 2006 - Event News: A-Kon 17 - 8:02 AM EDT Posted By: Richard Roy, Director Of Ghostbusting Ops One of our fans, ectospinner informed us that he and his brother* will be at A-Kon in their flightsuits. A-Kon is a gaming/anime convention which is taking place the weekend of June 9-11 in Dallas, TX. After talking to ectospinner it seems A-Kon is one of those little of everything conventions. If their's something strange at a convention, ghostbusters fans will fit right in. ;) *Ghostbusters International® can't be held responsible for a change in a fan's schedule. April 26, 2006 - Event News: New Star Con After Party - 10:57 AM EDT Posted By: Richard Roy, Director Of Ghostbusting Ops Normally a convention/event doesn't get this much promotion. If Ernie Hudson* wasn't going to be there we might not mention after con activities. Ghostbusters International® was recently informed by our "field agent" Robert Knippels of an after party the evening of May 13th. The best part is 100 people can buy tickets to have dinner with and party with Mr. Hudson among other stars. The tickets cost 35 EUR. (Around $40 USD) Drinks are a separate cost. From an email Robert received: "Tickets can be pre-ordered at the dinner buffet ticket form on the website, or at the convention itself at the NSC info booth. The of New Star Con organization recommends to pre-order tickets because of the huge interest in tickets and a limited amount of tickets available. Don't hesitate for too long because full = full." *Ghostbusters International® can't be held responsible for a change in Mr. Hudson's schedule. April 29, 2006 - Site News: The Real Ghostbusters - 10:01 AM EDT Posted By: Richard Roy, Director Of Ghostbusting Ops After dealing with a Sandman the previous week, maybe The Real Ghostbusters could just handle some class IIIs. Unfortunately their is no continued rest for the weary as its Halloween. Are 7th Century relics from Ireland connected to the RGBs being up to their collective necks in ghosts? Can they put the pieces of the puzzle together in time before a 2,000 year old evil spirit makes Halloween last forever? Find out in this weekend's episode, When Halloween Was Forever. Also, regarding previous episodes, we may be taking down earlier episodes to make room for more episodes of The Real Ghostbusters. As well as free up server space. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. When Halloween Was Forever thread. April 29, 2006 - Site News: The Real Ghostbusters Discussions - 3:23 PM EDT Posted By: Richard Roy, Director Of Ghostbusting Ops You probably noticed in our earlier update that we left a link to discuss this week's The Real Ghostbusters episode. Until today we hadn't really set these threads up. If you would like to discuss any of the 8 episodes (so far) of The Real Ghostbusters you can go to our forums and scroll down to our The Real Ghostbusters forum. Or for this update, click here to go right to our RGB forum. We also linked to each episode's thread in the RGB updates for this month and last month. April 30, 2006 - Site News: The Real Ghostbusters - 4:57 PM EDT Posted By: Richard Roy, Director Of Ghostbusting Ops We're sure you weren't expecting this, neither were we. This weekend, on a Sunday no less GBI presents another episode of The Real Ghostbusters. Part of the reason another episode is up is because next weekend I'll be on vacation. Look for a news update about that later in the week. After all of Ray's success, it prompted his hometown of Morrisville to ask him to be the grand marshal in the town's parade. Not everyone is happy to see him when he gets into town. A jealous guy Ray once knew makes him look bad by casting ghostly spells, causing Ray to feel like he shouldn't be in our business any more. Can The Real Ghostbusters get Ray to change his mind before a dangerous spell destroys Ray's hometown? Find out this weekend and all week long when Ray looks homeward.
