Some Quick Dispatches

Latest Press:
We got a mention...well, actually, a big full-page center-spread article in this month's Riverwest Currents neighborhood newspaper. It talks about our upcoming Oriental Theatre show, and gets into the history and plans of Angry Young Men, Ltd.

There isn't an online version up yet, but if there was it'd be at http://riverwestcurrents.com/.

MadCon 2010:
This past Saturday, a handful of Zombiteers went to Madison for MadCon 2010. We showed the Better Than Live? DVD to some new fans, and brought the Zombie Kissing Booth, as we're apt to do.

The Guest of Honor was Harlan Ellison. This was billed as his Last Convention Appearance Ever. He's announced recently that he won't be with us for very much longer. I don't know about that; the man worked the room better than any of us young turks.

I like to think we got on his good side.

There's no pictures, tho'. Sorry.

(That last comment is pretty funny if you were there)

Thanks to John C Manzo for having us. I, for one, am reenergized for all the work ahead of us.

We're an Award-Winnin' Tubesite, Now!

(yay for us)

This week, Superfan Mother Firefly put us on notice that she's bestowed upon your humble Zombiteers the Zombie Rabbit Award for, well, being "THE GoTo place for all your news about zombie puppets. "

So we got THAT goin' for us, which is nice.

Now, according to the rules of the meme (which I admittedly skimmed), the recipient has to pass it on to 10 other blogs. As much as I'd like to be my slackety-slacker self, I'd be remiss if I didn't pass off the award to a few people who keep me amused out here in the InterTubes.

So without further ado:
