The Lack of Working on Something Else
Not a lot of writing going on in this place of late. Well, that’s not true. I’m actually writing a ton of material, unfortunately none of it is the personal ranting or storytelling that I like to fill your screen with. Instead, I and an intrepid group of people who may not have actually known what they were getting into have been writing and rehearsing the 2008 Zombocalypse Survival “Seminar” that Zombie Squad will perform as part of Archon 32 (see videos below). This year’s group consists of some really creative people who are dedicating a lot of time to making sure that we put on a quality presentation.
The “seminar” is about 75% creative writing, stage craft, and theatrics, and 25% lecture. Hopefully it’s 100% fun though. The goal is to use a zombie apocalypse as a metaphor for the disaster nearest you and encourage the viewer to look into what it would take for him or her to be more prepared on a personal level. Everyone involved has put a lot of work into this thing and has dedicated a lot of personal time that could have instead been spent with loved ones, friends, or random strangers in 3 a.m. hookups across south St. Louis. I think their commitment and effort shows and you would be seriously missing out if you don’t attend the seminar.
What you’ll see this year:
The zombologist’s report on zombie rehabilitation and it’s success/failure.
A “fashion show” demonstrating basic gear and attire you should have on hand.
A presentation on skills you should acquire now before the shit hits the fan.
A man pushing a button.
A woman taking pictures.
A flaming unicorn.
Video Wackiness.
Pyrotechnic Mayhem.
Win after win after win.
Archon 32 is October 3, 4, and 5 in Collinsville, IL. More information can be found at www.archonstl.org. The ZS seminar is at 2:40 on Saturday, October 4.
Hope to see you there.
