This Melting Flesh

So, this weekend was the Cult Fiction: Unholy Sacrifices show.  It marks our fourth show and an entire year of Cult Fiction.  One down, many to go!  With the arrival of Gale I knew I couldn't commit to being one of the show authors, new babies leave no time to write stories.  But this didn't prevent me from being a part of the evening!  I'd had an idea noodling around in my head about a bit of performance art I wanted to try and our one year anniversary seemed like the perfect time to do it.  Gracie was kind enough to record and post it.  Here it is, but blogger minimizes the resolution.  I recommend that you click it and go directly to youtube so you can watch it sloppy HD glory! 


Oh, and as a side note.  I'm aware that I've fallen behind on the blog.  A newborn will do that to you.  But she's a month old now, no more excuses, you should start to see regular posts from me again.  Starting with this one!

Cult Fiction: Unholy Sacrifices


Here it is!  Our FOURTH show!  This time around we offer up four stories guaranteed to appease your appetite for darkness.
  • Just A Little Head - By Michael Penkas
  • Figure Eight - By Brendan Detzner
  • Threads - By Frank Stascik
  • "I'm calling it my damn sacrifice story cuz I'm still working on the title" - By Eric Cherry  (obviously Eric will rectify this post-haste!)
A set of fantastic actors will be under our morbid spotlights bringing these chilling tales to some sort of unnatural life. 

Our intermission show are the hysterically eerie, Neally and DJ DigDug performing their nerdcore rap hits Zombie Girlfriend, In Transylvania, and more!  Check out their site and get yourself some serious nerd downloads.


 We're also adding another fun element to the show this time.  An unsettling and inhuman trans-formative piece of performance art by Jude Mire.  We guarantee it's like nothing you've ever seen live!  Just how shallow is your humanity?

The evening will wrap up with indoor S'mores at the bar, drinks, and a party, all behind the backdrop of a musical jam session provided by Art Galt's Widow!  Yes, you heard me, we've got TWO musical acts this time!

DJ 3rik will be around to fill any and all sound gaps with audio awesomeness.  Lauren will be pouring heavy from behind the bar, talking you into that one extra shot you really need.  Trust her, she's a professional!

Writers, actors, musicians, performers, terror, booze, and S'MORES!  
For $5 bucks.  Be there.  The cult commands it!
