All shows start at 7:30 at The Mercury Cafe, 2199 California Street, Denver

From Host David Atkinson:Once Bitten at the Fbomb: It’s been thirty years since Jim Carrey first brought us the magic of vampire T&A 80s comedy (as well as the pull of attractive older women on strapping young men). Well, actually thirty-one now…but last October we celebrated Back to the Future so Jim had to wait a year.

Regardless, it’s time to recognize in true Fbomb fashion. By that we mean everyone should dress in non-vampire costumes and congratulate each other on their vampire costumes, to which the complimented should respond: “I’m not wearing a costume!” Bizarro authors Danger Slater, Eirik Gumeny, and Karl Fischer will be traveling in from Portland, Albuquerque, and Boulder, respectively, to help us commemorate the occasion with the seriousness and decorum it sincerely deserves, and to help us award cool prizes for the three best non-vampire costumes.

Don’t miss it!
