on with the show!
The Season's Bleedings film festival (sponsored by my blog) was this past Saturday night, and it was a total blast! While we didn't fill the whole ballroom (who could?), we had a great crowd, smooth drinks, and watched a ton of gory films. What better way to really ring in the holidays?
Kitty and I threw the event as a fundraiser for p;ear, a kick-ass homeless youth shelter/art gallery in downtown PDX. It was a sequel to our indie-gore fest two years ago, but with a nice holiday theme. Basically, homemade films, and crazy/sexy cabaret acts.
Here's was some of the pre-show press:
I just got back around 300 photos from the show, and I posted some of my favorites on a special Season's Bleedings Photo Gallery page. I put captions on about five photos before I lost interest in it, but you'll get the idea.
Enjoy!

My friend Rich has taken up the job as LXD videographer in my absence, and caught some truly memorable moments over the last few weeks. Here's some of my favorite karaoke clips:
LL Robot and Bryan (performing "Eye of the Tiger")
Hasser (performing "All by Myself")

Gotta get back to work! Only two more days of news stories about meth-related crime, until my holiday break! [I should've done a 12 days of xmas thing with that...oh well, next year.]

As a basis for a philanthropic endeavor, it’s certainly original: a horror film festival — with an emphasis on guts, gore and gruesome doings — serving as a fund-raising vehicle for a local nonprofit. It’s audacious as all get-out.[more>>]
Willamette Week:
If you were one of the people fortunate enough to attend the last Gore-o-Rama-a-Go-Go, then you know exactly how sick and depraved things got. There were films that could gag a maggot. But despite the lowbrow orgy of violence and gore, the whole event was a fundraiser for p:ear, the local nonprofit that works with homeless youth, providing art, education and counseling.

I've never been to Portland, so let me ask you this: is it pretty much the coolest city ever? The only time we would ever have a horror movie charity event where I'm from is never. Plus, you guys have an old-school arcade and two guys who write about eating bad candy. That's pretty solid.

Nobody told me about the Gore-O-Rama-a-Go-Go, and now it's too late. I had a brilliant and gory film to show called "Mama's Baby" about a basement-dwelling, semi-retarded murderess who kills for her doll. I feel betrayed, bewildered, and indignant. Never again must a GORAGG happen without me - NEVER!
