Hey folks, get on out and get some culture! There are only 6 (count em, 6) performances remaining of blahblah, a critically acclaimed show by noted playwright Dr. Thomas Riccio and his Dead White Zombie crew.

blahblah runs until May 28 over at the Green Zone (161 Riveredge Dr. Dallas, Texas 75207). Tickets are $15 for adult zombies and $12 for student zombies. All shows begin promptly at 8 p.m.

Alexandra Bonifield from the Dallas Examiner writes :

“Exhilarating live theater…

Resplendent with vivid ideas and colorful characterizations, an aboriginal archetypal ambience, along with clearly drawn, commedia-like characters, charming yet edgy, bizarre yet real…It bursts with imagery, concrete and fantastical.

2011 A Space Odyssey meets It’s A Wonderful Life in walkabout dream-time. Doors open unexpectedly, physically, metaphorically, virtually and otherwise….

It’s a State Fair Fun-house full of alarming kooks, raging cranks and mirrors of the soul.

The Secretly Timid crew will be attending next week’s performance. Wanna double date?

Three more video treatments by Seamus Murphy are now live. Check them out below. “The Colour of the Earth” is incredible. “Written on the Forehead” is also timely and haunting. This album still holds my “best album of 2011… so far” prize.

Just A Little Bit Of History Repeating Update : ThunderCats Reboot

Well 80’s children, Cartoon Network released a teaser trailer for the upcoming ThunderCats reboot. I gotta say, I am digging the anime style. I’m wondering if they will first release a prequel of sorts, given the fact that in the trailer there seems to be a whole community of Thundarians. So did our favorite feline heroes flee Thundera due to some sort of civil war? I guess we will find out later this year. Check out the trailer below.
