Mister Halloween Night : Apocalypto

8bitdude — Sun, 28 Oct 2012 03:05:45 +0000

The Mayan calendar is about to end, and Quetzalcoatl is coming back on a raft of snakes to either a) bring destruction upon all the Earth or b) elevate the consciousness of humanity. (Or nothing will happen.) No matter what, we bring you Mister Halloween Night: Apocalypto, a run down of what to do when the real apocalypse happens.

Our favorite loft, 12-turn-13, is being transformed into 2012-turn-13, a temple dedicated to ancient, yet timeless rituals like dancing and dressing up in ridiculous but painstakingly detailed costumes. Shamans Eamon Harkin and Justin Carter will utter incantations, mystical forms will be conjured by the High Priest of The Sense Society, and creatures from the underworld, EnSubtitles, will rise for a but a few moments to perform a transformational ceremony.

Apocalyptic outfits will be rewarded with an on-the-house drink. We are equal opportunity apocalypsers, so don’t feel limited to Maya. Think giant asteroid, dinosaur extinction (there’s got to be a good Barney The Dinosaur costume in here somewhere), alien attack, ice age or rapture. If you need some inspiration, remember the great apocalyptic films: The War of the Worlds, Dr. Strangelove, Night of the Living Dead, Planet of the Apes, Mad Max. Remember, group costumes please the gods and not dressing up at all angers them.Speaking of the End, it’s also the last Mister Sunday of the season.

We never know from year to year if we’ll be able to come back to the Gowanus again, so every closing party is particularly special. This year that’s doubly true, as it’s been the best season we’ve ever had. We’ll work hard to bring Mister Sunday back to Gowanus Grove or some other equally special place next year, but today, we’re going to focus on soaking in those last rays of sunshine on the dancefloor under the poplars.

PROTECT-IP

8bitdude — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 22:15:18 +0000

Tell Congress not to censor the internet NOW! - fightforthefuture.org/pipa PROTECT-IP is a bill that has been introduced in the Senate and the House and is moving quickly through Congress. It gives the government and corporations the ability to censor the net, in the name of protecting "creativity". The law would let the government or corporations censor entire sites-- they just have to convince a judge that the site is "dedicated to copyright infringement." The government has already wrongly shut down sites without any recourse to the site owner. Under this bill, sharing a video with anything copyrighted in it, or what sites like Youtube and Twitter do, would be considered illegal behavior according to this bill. According to the Congressional Budget Office, this bill would cost us $47 million tax dollars a year — that's for a fix that won't work, disrupts the internet, stifles innovation, shuts out diverse voices, and censors the internet. This bill is bad for creativity and does not protect your rights.
