On Saturday March 8, 2014 Ghostbusters NJ staff members Bill Malkin, Rich Roy, Greg McHugh, and Jeffe Rodriguez joined forces with our northern neighbors the North Jersey Ghostbusters staff Jody Sumner, Ron Giameo, Carol Jacky, and Kenneth Cunningham to storm Monster-Mania Con in Cherry Hill, NJ. Officially we were there to promote ghostbusting across the Garden State, with guest of honor, Ernie Hudson, (Twitter) who so perfectly played Winston Zeddemore in the movies. Unofficially this was to be the first actual meeting of New Jersey’s 2 Ghostbusters franchises.

The event was amazing. Our motley group of 7 Ghostbusters were celebrities. Barely a minute would pass without a request for pictures with the Ghostbusters. Then the inevitable happened. While waiting for Rich to make the long trek across the Garden State, the manager of the Hotel asked a few of us to check out the reports of disturbances on the ninth floor. The guests were starting to ask questions and the staff were running out of excuses. Greg, Jeffe, Ron and I loaded into the elevator and headed up to nine.

I don’t know if it was the free energy drinks that were given out or growing excitement for spending time with Mr. Hudson, but Greg and Ron jumped the gun and blasted some poor maid just trying to clean the rooms of the various geeks that descended upon Cherry Hill that fateful day. After we put out the fire and gave her some hush money we continued the investigation.

We found the standard class 5 chowing down on some vending machine snacks. I quickly tossed a trap underneath the foul smelling blob. Unfortunately for me that meant I had to cart around a loaded ghostrap for the rest of the day as evidenced by a majority of the pictures floating around the interwebs. Oh well we collected a cool 5k for our troubles, so I won’t complain too much!

In the end we got a group photo with Ernie and made new friends, all-in-all a pretty successful trip.

This weekend, March 7-9 Ghostbusters NJ personnel will be in attendance at Monster-Mania in Cherry Hill, NJ. Our recruit along with friends of the franchise are already at the Crowne Plaza Hotel & Resorts. The majority of us will be there tomorrow, March 8, 2014. Members from North Jersey Ghostbusters and the previous Ghostbusters NJ will be there too! Hopefully Philly and perhaps NY franchises as well.

Mr. Ernie Hudson (Winston Zeddemore) is a guest at Monster Con. He may be there for some black bird reunion. He may or may not be surprised to see a lot of Ghostbusters.

If you’re going, feel free to comment. Hopefully we’ll meet and greet tomorrow!

Press Release:

Jeffe Rodriguez, a former Field Agent in The First State, Delaware is Ghostbusters New Jersey latest hire as we reorganize and expand operations. Jeffe after serving our country proudly is looking to start a Ghostbusters franchise in Delaware. Instead of just being a field agent in the tiny state, Jeffe brings his invaluable skills and years of experience to Ghostbusters New Jersey.

Although sorta a rookie, we designated Jeffe as our DE District Coordinator. Which basically means he’ll field calls so we can travel less. Somehow we convinced him this will bring new “on the job training” for when he opens his Delaware franchise.

Richard Roy, Ghostbusters New Jersey Webmaster has added Greg’s personnel file to the site.

Because somebody’s coming to town! Happy Holidays from the crew of Ghostbusters-NJ. Oh and as a service announcement, due to our holiday schedule we might not be able to get to you until after the new year, so if you have a haunted room just don’t go in there.

Possessive Proton Pack

For some reason (um could be the fact that we have a storage facility full of ghosts?) during what should have been a routine meeting between District Coordinators Bill’s proton pack was standing/leaning back on a table without any inanimate or humanly support. P.K.E readings confirmed what we had suspected, that this proton pack had become possessed.

Other standard equipment showed the entity “hanging out.” Fortunately not in a classified, even more sensitive area. As we weren’t going to fire confinement streams at a nuclear accelerator inside GBNJ HQ, we came up with a plan that lead us to safely trapping this rouge wraith.

Ghostbusters New Jersey Keeping It In The (Addams) Family

/ GBNJ / 1 Comment

District 2 Coordinator Bill Malkin responded to a call in the Ecto-FJ Cruiser about a “goth” woman walking the streets in a zombie like state. Calls to GBNJ (which we really wanted to dismiss as pranks, it’s that time of the year) also described the mystery woman as “appearing familiar from classic television” and “may have been around either before or after monsters.”

The “very pale” woman wasn’t responsive as people normally are. Her ID associated her with a day of the week. Bill proceeded with caution by unhooking a nutrona wand from his proton pack. The woman continued to stare, seemingly un-phased by Bill’s actions. Because of her perceived state of mind, Bill was able to safely escort the woman to HQ for tests. Fortunately she was cooperative, presuming she was even aware. She’ll stay within the family for an undetermined amount of time.
