NO COLONY Promotional Shaving Video + Byebye

DON'T FORGET

This FRIDAY AUGUST 22nd 7:30 PM in Park Slope Brooklyn NYC @ Barbes

NO COLONY issue 001 Launch Party

Featuring readings by Nick Antosca, Giancarlo DiTrapano, Tao Lin, Robert Lopez and Justin Taylor, hosted by myself and Ken Baumann

Issues on sale, I think $10, something.

Yesterday I shaved my face and spoke into the light in recognition of the folding forces, please observe:



Yeah, I'm really bad at shaving.

I tried to add text titles to the video but iMovie is a real piece of shit and I don't have Final Cut anymore, use your imagination, pretend there are words going in the video saying about the reading or something, pretend my head is leaking fry grease.

Blogger replications of this news &/or clearly erotic video in a promotional effort to garner attendance will be most thanked via mental explode.

aka

PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD. :)

Those attending the event are encouraged to bring a tennis ball or other spherical object that may be thrown at my head or body while I am speaking, my skull is large, I make a good target.

Concurrently with my offer, Ken Baumann is accepting offers of manual stimulation and/or cash rubdowns.


** SNEAK PEEK **


We got the issues in yesterday, they rub on my eyelids without my nodding.

It looks crooked in the first photo I don't know why, its not actually crooked:





Excitedz.

Anyhow, hitting the road tomorrow morning early and won't be back till late Sunday, so in the meantime, keep your panties tucked tight and your fingers liquidated. Order will begin shipping upon return, thank you to those who preordered, thank you to those who will order soon or now. :)

  1. watching this video made me very uncomfortable but not in a way that ultimately made me upset. if i would have known about shaving for promotion, i would have filmed myself shaving off my beard yesterday. in some places, it was longer than two inches. whenever i'd sweat a lot, the beard would keep dripping for a long period of time. it looked like my beard was crying but i know my beard wouldn't cry because it has nothing to cry about. for some reason while watching this video, i kept thinking someone was going to walk in and then you would yell at them. watching this video made me very uncomfortable but not in a way that ultimately made me upset.
