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 »

Zombies of Mass Destruction
About a year ago, I helped a small local production with special effects for a day. i went out to Port Gamble and set Pyro effects for the film. It was very quick and dirty. I set up a volkwagon bug to detonate, rigged a friend of mine to catch on fire (without undue harm) and set another car and a few random objects with effects. I went to the premier last night. I never would have guessed that Zombie film fans were so erudite, well spoken and generally showered. I caught up with the director Kevin Hamadani and his producer John, the same man that produced Iraq in fragments. I recommend catching the film. It’s a comedy and completely over the top. It is an energentic send-up of living as an … Read entire article »

Weekly update!
http://venusarms.com/content/index.php?topic=94.msg176#msg176. It’s been pretty busy since may eleventh. We screened the three Pilot episodes of weaponizers at central cinema, to friends and family, for free of course. It was a great thing to be able to put out there. Really pretty amazing. Explosions always look best on a big screen and at high volume. The link up above is to a recent interview with venusarms, a local online art magazine, whom interviewed me last week. Thanks Niz and Dex! From now till June 27th we are guns a blazing getting ready for the Power Tool Drag racing in Georgetown, and the first freaking ever Sex-toy-drag racing on the 28th on Capital Hill at the Wild Rose. There is a lot of work to get done prior. A lot. Really. It would be a bit … Read entire article »
