Saloncon

Friday, September 12th, 2008

Zombie Monkey Projects is off to Saloncon, a gathering for folks who do what we oldsters call ‘Steampunk’. Lots of you young’ns like to call it ‘Neo-Victorian’… or yeah, Steampunk. Right. There’s a Steampunk meetup tonight and a load of things to do tomorrow. Check out the website for the shindig’s full schedule, which include a performance from Abeny Park. In any case I’ll be pushing my artwork, so be sure to look for the Grendel’s Den Design Studio banner.

So here’s a video from the headlining band Abney Park.

The Totally Normal Event

Friday, June 27th, 2008

SPARCThis Saturday we’ll be attending Jeff Mach’s The Totally Normal Event, a benefit show for the SPARC Summer Experience which is a summer program for gifted youth combining elements of summer camp with the multilevel benefits of rigorous academic achievement. In other words a summer camp for really smart kids, much smarter than you and I most likely.

The event includes a tun of performers like The Dresden Dolls, Freezepop, The White Elephant Burlesque Society, The Mighty Mike Saga, Voltaire and many more.

You’ll also find all sorts of vendors and artists, including our big sister Grendel’s Den Design Studio offering spooky art, which we all know you dig.

There’s even a big interactive back-story and plot you can participate in throughout the event. Not too sure what it is but my bet is on some sort of fantasy based theme.

In any case it’s all for a good cause and you should go.

Pictures from the 2008 Philly Zombie Crawl

Tuesday, March 25th, 2008

Zombie Jesus, 2008 Philly Zombie Crawl

This year’s Philly Zombie Crawl was a brain-smashing success. Over 200 of Philly’s finest zombies converged upon South Street for booze and braaaains. The night kicked off at Tattooed Mom where folks got themselves zombiefied through the magic of makeup and beer. Once everyone was properly brain dead the horde of the undead shambled down the streets and alleyways of the South Street area. Once finished with that we all went out into the chilly night to other bars to help spread the virus. The night ended at Fluid nightclub for the punkrock go-go night Fast, Cheap & Out of Control.

You can check out all of the pics from the night here.
