Beer Friday! fun-draiser.

Thanks to all the hazards, spacevirgins, Hackbots and burners we raised 150$ to go to Doctors without Borders and thier ongoing relief efforts in Haiti. For those of you unfamiliar with Doctors without Borders they are one of the most globally active relief organizations in the world. They maintain the wherewithal to operate in multiple theatres and are always among the very first organizations on-site helping to mitigate human suffering whether it is the result of natural disaster, drought, famine, or war. They consistently deliver relief with the absolute minimum of contributions consumed in non-aid activity like administration costs. We had a nice comparatively mellow evening. Patrick improvised a barbeque out of some scrap and we roasted a tasty variety of things to eat. Hank shot some awesome photos, as he has mad … Read entire article »

Zombies, lots of Zombies!

We joke about Zombies a-lot here at hazardfactory, and although as the People for the Ethical treatment of Zombies (P.E.T.Z) insist “Zombies were People too!” we have to look at the upsurge of pro-zombie enthusiasm with a certain amount of trepidation, all the while checking the valves on our assortment of flamethrowers and nervously glancing over alternate shoulders……. So I must admit, full disclosure, that Rusty and members of Hazardfactory (cough) Drago and (cough cough ) Ryan and (hack) Todd did pyro stunts for Zombies of Mass Destruction! hint, it’s a movie and it’s funny as hell with an overt humanist and egalitarian vibe that asserts that Arabs, and gays, are in fact just as American and alright as any other just plain alright citizen. The movie is a bit ambiguous in … Read entire article »

So, this new years 09-2010, we rang in the new year with 400 close personal friends, or at least people held close and personally, and made the Merry. Historically this has involved demolishing and detonating automobiles, street theatre, the Titanium Sporkestra marching band, fire cannons, burning Christmas trees, The fire department, the popo, and always, always, always with the flaming tetherball. This year HBL set up some fantastic and far far far over the top lighting, Djs, and boozes, and a photo boot that automatically uploaded. Radness and badness. Hazardfactory set up a little show with a two person fire breathing Dragon puppet, a hapless victim in a fire … Read entire article »
