El Portal Theater
5269 Lankershim Blvd
North Hollywood, CA 91601
(818) 508-0281
Tickets Cost: $8.00 - $25.00
This sounds like fun. Cosplayers are asked to perform skits and famous voice actors judge them. Which voice actors? Yelp said Artists who voice some of the most popular characters on TV and the internet will entertain and "meet and greet" their fans, as well as guest judge and crown the "best costume" and "best act" winners. They include Tom Kenny (Spongebob Squarepants), Rob Paulsen (Animanics, Pinky and the Brain, TMNT), Jess Harnell (Animanics, Drawn Together), Candi Milo (Dexter's Laboratory, Fosters) and Charlie Schlatter and Matt Jones (Disney's Kick Buttowski).
They also just confirmed Tara strong.
So god knows what people will be wearing and what they're doing, but it sounds like a lot of fun.
This was made thanks to Fire Rose Productions which is a non-profit, so help-em out.

over 40 classic arcade machines and dozens of vintage home consoles to the exhibit floor for 12 hours of pure, nonstop gaming.

Man, that does sound like a great gamer activity. From what i've read this thing might get packed even though most game company people are at the GDC. Nucleus somewhat knows how to throw a party, so get down there this weekend.
Plus, chiptune music, here's whose playing

Black Death
(free sneak preview, director in person!)
shown with Witchfinder General
If it's the writer od Severance and Creep then it might be a pretty damn good movie. That brit knows how to write. Also, you can see it for free. Basically the stories about looking for witches.
The site:
It is a 14th-century world without hope, as none are spared from the Black Death -- that is, until rumors reach the King’s ear of witchcraft, necromancy, and a small marsh village that remains untouched by the pestilence. As a violent knight and an idealistic monk investigate these supernatural tidings, faiths are tested, beliefs are questioned, and bodies are ripped to shreds!

Posters of Power
Two Posters that help explain gaming to noobs
The one on the left from Nerf Now generously explains the ESRB rating system. It's just a comic that's been floating around the net. While the one on the right , The Evolution of Video Game Controllers takes a very ingenious take on explaining the history of controllers. The one on the right is 24" x 36” and going for $30. Seems like a great buy for the classy gamer.
This Hyrule Map is also eye catching from Bill Mudron's Waddata buyin? store via Tiny Cartridge. The Legend of Zelda enthusiasts might even break down and cry, 24 x 36 for $40 . Check out the Doctor Who goods, too
Evolution chart remind me of the GDC I am 8-bit posters I posted about earlier this week.
