Zombies Defense Tactics plus smoke about ePublishing

Mario here:Barely survived a thoroughly kick-ass weekend at StarFest.  The costumes were amazing, from the cartoonish to the scandalous.  As if hand-crafting costumes wasn't enough, for many attendees a ride to fantasyland needs the necessary wheels.  Is this a blind date ride or what!I reconnected with many friends in the horror biz, to include actor/director/writer/producer Ford Austin.  His latest offering is the comedic and over-the-top splatterfest, Dahmer vs Gacy.  The movie includes a  cameo appearance (as a rat-noshing homeless murder victim) by Del Howison, owner of Dark Delicacies. I've blogged about my comic book, Killing the Cobra, and so attended ComicFest to meet local vendors and other artists.  Got an excited response all the way around.And just in time for the Zombie Apocalypse:Martial arts instructor Brent Bingham offered a workshop on Zombie Defense Tactics.Bingham showing how to deflect and redirect a zombie attack, followed by a skull crushing blow--the only sure way to dispatch a revenant attacker.The workshop included hands-on takedown exercises.  The ladies were qu...

Zebra Pens & Pencils - Putting the FUN in Functional (Review)
