This winter, although a difficult one due to the weather, has been fruitful in designing and updating both Ecto's.<br /><br />-The Ecto MCU is soon to be equipped with a new Mobile Containment Unit, to be debuted at the Ocean City Doo Dah Day&nbsp;parade.<br /><br />-The Ecto-4 has undergone a lot of work, including new vinyl, custom hub caps, window tint, a rear bumper guard, and a rewiring for a special rear facing surprise. These updates will also make their first appearence in Ocean city's parade.<br /><br /><strong><u>New Charity:</u></strong><br />In an effort to maximize the efficiency of&nbsp;our fundraising efforts, we have decided to support&nbsp;Doctors Without Borders as our year round charity of choice when Toys For Tots if out of season.<br />Check out their website:<br /><a $included="null" href="http://www.doctorswithoutborders.org/"><img alt="MSF" height="70" id="pageHeaderLogo" src="http://www.doctorswithoutborders.org/images/global/msf-logo-header.jpg" width="209" /></a><br /><a $included="null" href="http://www.doctorswithoutborders.org/"><span style="text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;"><shapetype coordsize="21600,21600" filled="f" id="_x0000_t75" o:preferrelative="t" o:spt="75" path="m@4@5l@4@11@9@11@9@5xe" stroked="f"><stroke joinstyle="miter"></stroke><formulas><f eqn="if lineDrawn pixelLineWidth 0"></f><f eqn="sum @0 1 0"></f><f eqn="sum 0 0 @1"></f><f eqn="prod @2 1 2"></f><f eqn="prod @3 21600 pixelWidth"></f><f eqn="prod @3 21600 pixelHeight"></f><f eqn="sum @0 0 1"></f><f eqn="prod @6 1 2"></f><f eqn="prod @7 21600 pixelWidth"></f><f eqn="sum @8 21600 0"></f><f eqn="prod @7 21600 pixelHeight"></f><f eqn="sum @10 21600 0"></f></formulas><path gradientshapeok="t" o:connecttype="rect" o:extrusionok="f"></path><lock aspectratio="t" v:ext="edit"></lock></shapetype></span></a><br /><strong><u>Events:</u></strong><br />It's certainly not October, but business is good!<br /><br /><strong>Ecto Prom 2011</strong><br />Prom season is here, and the Ecto 4 is available to&nbsp;turn heads as you arrive at your prom. All profits will go to Doctors Without Borders. <br /><br /><strong>Doo Dah Day Parade</strong><br />We will be kicking off the Spring busting season and unveiling the 2011 refresh of the Ecto-4 in the Annual Doo Dah Day Parade in Ocean City NJ at Noon on Saturday April 16th.<br /><br /><strong>Philly Zombie Crawl</strong><br />On Sunday April 24th we will be present to monitor a mass disturbance on South Street in Philadelphia.<br />More details to come!<br /><img alt="Philly Zombie Crawl - PhillyZombieCrawl.com" class="image" height="60" id="PhillyZombieCrawlBanner" name="PhillyZombieCrawlBanner" src="http://phillyzombiecrawl.com/images/banners/pzc_468x60.gif" title="Philly Zombie Crawl - PhillyZombieCrawl.com" width="468" /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6298822037585663930-6907912127245973847?l=njghostbusters.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>NJ Ghostbustershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14483838440425913575noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6298822037585663930.post-49573777421033134312011-02-07T09:22:00.000-08:002011-02-07T09:22:19.101-08:00In a fury of sauder, hot glue, paint, and a little accidental smoke, we managed to seriously upgrade our busting hardware this past weekend.<br /><br />Some might have noticed that our custom ecto siren had been experiencing some reliability issues. No more! We managed to repair a broken ground pin on the sound microprocessor, and now it's golden!<br /><br />How about the crazy erratic sounds of the V3 proton&nbsp;pack? Also fixed, with the purchase of a heat gun and addition of shrink tubing everywhere!<br /><br />The V4 proton pack, upgraded, but that's still&nbsp;a secret. Come out to Zolocon and see the difference for yourself!<br /><br />The 2011 busting season starts at Zolocon&nbsp;in 5 days. Get your PKE's ready!!!!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6298822037585663930-4957377742103313431?l=njghostbusters.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>NJ Ghostbustershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14483838440425913575noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6298822037585663930.post-84156612323352242412011-01-24T11:40:00.000-08:002011-01-24T11:41:23.813-08:00Taking a look back at 2010 so we can plan for 2011.<br /><br />In total,<br />-The Ecto 4 ATAC was rebuilt and introduced<br />-The&nbsp;Ecto MCU was built and introduced<br />-1 New proton pack was built<br />-2 Original cast members signed the Ecto 4,&nbsp;Aykroyd and Hudson<br />-3 new busters joined our ranks<br />-7 different charities were supported<br />-59 events were attended<br />-1000 new facebook friends<br />-7500+ miles were traveled by the Ecto-4 to and from events<br />-100,000+ Hits on our new website<br /><br />2011, Here we go!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6298822037585663930-8415661232335224241?l=njghostbusters.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>NJ Ghostbustershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14483838440425913575noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6298822037585663930.post-30908480220696106662011-01-16T18:01:00.000-08:002011-01-16T18:01:53.742-08:00Lets try this again!<br /><br />Hopefully this, our third blogging platform, will be a charm. <br />Tell us what you think about it. <br /><br />Quick update for now, we've posted our tentative 2011 Spring schedule.<br />You can see it <a href="http://www.njgb.org/NJGB_Schedule_of_Events.html">here</a>.<br /><br />Our first event for the year will be Zolocon.
