I apologize in advance for the motes of dust visible in some of these shots; the camera lens apparently was badly in need of cleaning.
Also odd in these photos is that my camera’s automatic configuration mode seems to have been driven slightly batty by the weird lighting in the Marriot (as were my eyes, actually). [...]

Well, that was a satisfying 3 days of activism indeed.
Our last day in the Vendor area went quite well, and I’m happy to report that we sold completely out of Zombie Strong wristbands. That’s a ‘nice problem to have’, as they say on Metalocalypse. We’re going to put in a new order, [...]

First of all, I finally got around to verifying the proper spelling of the con, and it’s apparently Geek.kon. I’ve seen it other ways on other forms, and for some reason had fallen into the habit of writing it as “Geek-Kon”
If this has caused immense personal hardship to anyone I deeply apologize.
So, how did [...]

The first day of Geek-Kon was a big success, and we had a number of positive conversations and some great outreach to members of the Madisonian geek community. Today’s schedule is a hectic one – we’re getting started at our booth a bit late so I can hit Staples for some sign-making supplies, because [...]

Come visit The Zombie Rights Campaign booth at Geek-Kon; we’re located in the Vendor’s Room, since there’s no room for civil rights lobbies per se. Plus we will have stuff to sell! Lurch for the Cure shirts, wrist-bands and the like, so on and so forth.
This convention we will also have a semi-limited supply [...]

I got to prepping a bit for our convention appearance this weekend (I know, I procrastinate a lot) and noticed an interesting group is appearaing in concert at the convention:
Dr. Cancer and the SKAmbies!
This year, close out the convention with a bang! Dr. Cancer was an unsuccessful, washed up, loner until he had a great [...]

Just a bit of a programming note to remind anyone and everyone that The Zombie Rights Campaign will be at Geek Kon here in lovely Madison, Wisconsin this weekend, September 3rd-5th.
This is our first year at the local geeky convention and we’re hoping to have a good time and do some serious outreach for the [...]

Given that the US release of Japanese Anti-Zombie Game ‘Dead Rising 2′ is days away, the availability of this product in Japan comes as particularly disturbing news:
“Zombie Meat,” an exquisite new Japanese snack for the horror enthusiast, consists of bite-sized chunks of tender blue flesh that, according to the package, has been aged to deadly [...]

So the power adapter on my Toshiba laptop/convention warhorse died overnight, and it will take a few days to ship us a replacement.
Oops.
In the meantime posting and replies to email may be spotty as I have to share the art director’s power supply, and the battery life on these Toshiba Satellites is pretty brief.
Things [...]
