5:17 pm - FRAGS (Framingham Area Gamers Society) Gaming Party Weekend - October 20-22
|

 muttstain has announced his next gaming party weekend. As I did last time, I have decided to make an effort to find all the cool gamer grrls and guys and tell them about it.
-------
Matt of FRAGS (Framingham Area Gamers Society) announces:
Join me for a weekend of games and movies in Framingham starting at 7:30 PM Friday October 20th and running through midnight Sunday night October 22nd.
It's time for another weekend of games and movies. Since this one will
be so close to Halloween, I encourage people to come in costume.
I have been running these events 3-4 times a year for nearly 25 years. For those not familiar with the details, dinner is provided on Saturday night (weather permitting there will be a cookout), otherwise I cook up a large pot of rather spicy chili, and many people are kind enough to contribute pizzas, chickens, and the like. Food donations are appreciated, though not required.
I have hundreds of board, card and party games to choose from, but feel free to bring your own. There's a 9-foot pool table, a retro video game library in the basement, featuring 100's of released and never-released games for the Atari 2600, Atari 5200, Colecovision, Odyssey 2, and Vectrex. If the weather is nice, people can actually do outdoor games.
For people wanting a break from gaming, I have plenty of DVD's (over 1.000), mostly cheesy B-grade horror movies. I have hundreds of them, or feel free to bring your own.
This time there will be a Texas Hold'em tournament. I'm looking to have around 24-30 people participating (3 tables). More details to follow.
There is plenty of crash space for people who want to stay over, as gaming often runs until 6:00 am on Friday and Saturday night.
As always, this event is open to members of MENSA, Unity Games, Meet-in-Boston, NECG and Bostongamers. If you aren't a member of these groups, drop an email to hnybny and she'll forward your request to attend.
current mood:  hopeful

For twenty-five years, Joe Gibbons has documented his life in a series of sardonic, autobiographical Super-8 film and video diaries…. an existential digest of his neuroses. Combining factual and fictitious tableaux in which he plays his own alter ego, Gibbons enacts various dramatic episodes in his life. Transgressive acts and traumatic events--becoming addicted to heroin, shoplifting, drinking, and evading his parole officers …are laid before the viewer with disarming honesty. In this existential dance with his own shadow, the psyche takes on the form of a catastrophic, yet comical labyrinth, within whose corridors Gibbons is condemned to perpetually roam.

3:32 pm - BARFF BARRF BARRF---- Spring time for BARFF
|
secret_willow
|
Hello Everyone!
I am very excited! Spring BARFFing out all over! I just got back from The Big Apple Con! At the con I met Debbie Rochon of Troma Fame. She is in such classics as Tromeo and Juliet, Terror Firmer, Citizen Toxie and Night of the Living Dead 30th anniversary edition.
I purchased a copy of Hellblock 13, from Troma - of course! Debbie signed both the disc and a copy of The B-Movie Survival Guide- A comprehensive Guide to the ins and outs of finding a way to live till the final credits! It's a must read for all the presidents of bad film organizations or people who find themselves in a horror movie!
I would write more but the scary music playing in the background indicates there is danger and I might be.. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
current mood: geeky

Considered the worst film maker of all time, Ed Wood won a cult following after his death and now fans can see his long-lost last film "Necromania," a work some say shows he was so bad that he was brilliant.
But it's not for the faint-hearted. The 1971 movie is a porn film documenting the sexual enlightenment of a young couple at the hands of a coven of witches.
..."Necromania" -- the last film Wood directed -- was filmed over two or three days with a budget of no more than $7,000 and the only copies went missing soon after it was made. The movie tells the story of Danny and Shirley, a young couple who visit the mysterious Madame Heles for help with their flagging sex life. The lessons they are taught involve skulls, spells and sex in a coffin.
Rudolph Grey, author of a biography of the director, and a fellow Ed Wood enthusiast, movie distributor Alexander Kogan, unearthed "Necromania" in a warehouse in Los Angeles after more than 15 years of detective work.

"I throw my hands up and confess that I really don't know what this is, but something remarkable is trapped inside, and growing, like a tumour with world-domination on its agenda." famous Goth historian Mick Mercer, starvox.net zine
"Vocalist Basim’s style reminds me a bit of Robbie D., or even Fate Fatal a bit here, laying down a deep deathrockish foundation laden with more playful or punk flourishes, while his bass playing without doubt has a funkiness not found in much goth music. Add to this pounding drums and heavy guitar, as well as a playful horror-loving element, and it makes a strange, but very workable brew." E.David, runs East Hampton's Gothic/Industrial Live shows and Edits/contributes to From Dust zine
"While there is an unmistakable dark and sinister quality to both the music and the lyrics, vocalist Basim Usmani has a far too honestly soulful style to be lumped in with the monotonous wailing cadavers who front your average Goth band these days."
Big Tony O'Farrell, famous Horror Punk artist and reviewer www.rockfiend.net zine

9:52 am - Paging for Boston/MA Punk/Psychobilly/Gothic bands to play our night
|
bedhoppngothboi
|
There's a new night for live bands, third thursday of every month at the Skybar in Somerville.
Right now we're fiending for bands that are DARK and rockin' in the vein of Joy Division, Bauhaus, The Cure, Siouxsie, The Cramps and TSOL.
Modern reference points: Radio Berlin, Turn Pale, Kill Me Tomorrow, Interpol, Switchblade Symphony, Bella Morte and The Nekromantix.
If you're morbid and NOT metal, you're game.
The purpose of this night is to unify the darker postpunk/Gothic, indie and horror punk/psychobilly scenes into a cohesive hole. Leave a comment with bandcontacts, and website/demo info if you're interested!!
Thanks!
~ Basim

1:06 am - Hi

My name is Brooks, I just found your community. I've recently been looking for new ways to expand on my dorkdom. I've always been a big fan of Godzilla and other giant lizard films and I've been a member of a Rocky Horror Picture Show Cast for the past 3 years. I was wondering if anyone here could tell me of any other B-Movie Festivals that would be going on in the Eastern United States in the near or distant future.
Sincerely, Brooks
current mood:  curious

Thank you for making BARFF at Arisia 2004 a huge success! We watched Plan 9 from Outer Space, Elvira's Haunted Hills, Killer Klowns from Outer Space and Cannibal the Musical, and went on a field trip to the video room to see a movie on the big screen - Star Pilot. During the proceedings much heckling ensued and a good time was had by all. Some were even subjected to Saturday morning cartoons of Toxic Crusaders.
Be sure to stay tuned for details about our March event! Cheers!

In addition to the fine films we we show in the BARFF room Friday and Saturday night, I need to draw your attention to this fine gem that Arisia Has put on the program.SATURDAY 1:00 AM: Star Pilot
This film was originally produced in Italy in 1967 with a very low production budget. It was resurrected for US distribution with a quickly-done dubbing job in 1976, to capitalize on the SF craze that came about after Star Wars. It is the worst SF film ever made. Worse than Plan Nine, worse than Fungus of Terror. We guarantee you have never seen worse acting in your life. You must see it to believe it.
(16mm)
Preceded by the short film BOMB, which advocates private ownership of nuclear weapons but also describes some of the unfortunate side effects of legal home nukes. This film is a must-see if you intend on installing nuclear or thermonuclear devices in your home.
(16mm, 20 min)
I for one will be putting myself to sleep with this baby!

Hey ghouls!!
It's fucking awsome that we have this community, I just joined it. I'm still itching to see "May", and awaiting to get a subscription to Rue Morgue to satisfy my ...needs.
Anyhow, I'm involved in Boston's Splatter-Funk band, "Malice In Leatherland".
Our website is http://www.sinsanctuary.com/mil
where we have photos, show lists, and MP3s!! Do check out the mp3s if you dig horror themed music... Earlier this month we opened up for Dinah Cancer (the woman who penned ROTLD's "Part Time" theme), and she said we were cool... so I guess it's official!
Stay ghoul,
Basim
