<\/p>\nIf I can be perfectly honest with you for a moment, the whole point of having a little literary zine, is to throw nasty, death-defying parties.
\n<\/p>\n

\nI put "Bikini Bloodbath" on my Netflix queue, so we will probably be watching that on my laptop while doing the grotesque monkey work of folding and stapling the zine.<\/p>\n
\nYou know how in the movies people smash zombie heads with all sorts of things they just happen to have lying around? Haven’t you ever wondered just how hard it would be to smash a head, I mean really smash it? Well, as it happens, heads are relatively cheap in Austin. $3.49 each at the Fiesta. So I’m going to throw together a zombie armature and we’re going to put this head smashing to the test. Feel free to bring your own implements. I’ve got a wooden samurai practice sword, but somebody is going to have to bring a baseball bat, a cricket bat, a machete, etc. Just no projectiles or firearms. You can shoot your own head in the privacy of your own home, so try and keep my heads out of it.<\/p>\n
\nWe’ve done this at the last couple of parties. We wrangle some poor writers and force them to write a piece of flash fiction, using audience-generated plot points, with only a few minutes to scribble down their prose. Maybe this year I’ll bring something along that will be worth winning.<\/p>\n
