Sign-ups for the Costume Contest will begin at 9 p.m. and continue through 11 p.m. Judging for all categories will be begin promptly at the scary stroke of midnight. It is completely free to enter, and the contest is open to those 21 and up.

In addition to the Costume Contest, we will also be raffling off prizes every 10-15 minutes. Prizes include:

* Free Golf packs from the Signature Golf Group

* T-shirts, tank tops, koozies from multiple liquor and beer distributors

* Various items from the Myrtle Beach Pelicans

* A pet prize pack from Woofies worth approximately $175

The New IanGuerin.com

Ladies and Gentlemen, it's here.

The new IanGuerin.com. What you'll find in this site now is a lot of work put in by a number of people.

There's Stephen Pottebaum (pottebaum.com), the man who I not only consider one of my closest friends, but also the dude who made sure the early years of this site were as fun and productive as they were.

Now, there's Chris Mowder (chrismowder.com), another former newspaper employee who has gone on to become a budding Myrtle Beach area business man. Among other things, including ListenUpMB.com, Mowder works on Web design. He's the person responsible for much of the new look.

Now, with it, I hope you find a number of improvements to make this site more user-friendly.
