COOKIE MONSTER isn't saying "Nom Nom Nom"

He's saying "Numb Numb Numb"

Kevin Geeks Out About The Post-Apocalypse

Goin' to New York Comic Con? 

Then come to the panel I'm doing called POST-APOCALYPSE NOW!

Emmy Laybourne (author of the New York Times Editor's Choice novel, Monument 14) and I will explore the end of the world and the destruction of society in film, TeeVee, cartoon shows and literature. 


Saturday October 13th at 1pm
at the Unbound Stage 


We'll focus on examples from the past 10 - 12 years, explore why post-apocalyptic stories are so popular these days and how they're being marketed. 

But if you want to look at older examples, these videos have it covered: (videos appear after the jump)

This Friday - come to the Banned Book Party

I became a fan of Mike Edison after reading his wild memoir I HAVE FUN EVERYWHERE I GO: Savage Tales of Pot, Porn, Punk Rock, Pro Wrestling, Talking Apes, Evil Bosses, Dirty Blues, American Heroes and the Most Notorious Magazines in the World.


You can imagine how honored I feel to be included in Mike's BANNED BOOK PARTY (which takes place this Friday night.)  I'll be talking about an especially dopey bout of pop culture hysteria, I'll do a short slideshow, read from a "controversial" novel and screen one of my all-time favorite film clips. 

Details are below, don't miss this mad monstrous party.
