DEVIVAL OF THE FITTEST 2010:
CREATING NEW WORLDS!
The Church of the SubGenius, the joke you can believe in, continues its weekly slack attack in January at The Liar's Club, 1665 W Fullerton Saturday Nights. No reservations needed, 773- 665- 1110 is the bars number. 8PM, $6
Bold surrealism, psychedelic prescriptures and rabble rousing rituals are just the tip of the iceberg! The last show in December ended with participants piling into cars for a secret Highland Park held by the Unknown Millionaire and a tour of the World Of Sacred Objects and Artifacts. Participants saw a real shrunken head, mummified hand, and secret weapons of the Church. You never know what will happen at a SubGenius Devival!
And we can't always advertise what will happen! Expect the unexpected! Not since Big Al Crowley in the 1920's and the Intergalactic SubGenius Convention of 1982 has Chicago been subject to performance magickal rituals that work! WHO WILL SURVIVE, AND WHAT WILL BE LEFT OF THEM?
SATURDAY JAN 9TH: OPENING A NEW PORTAL! With the strange sounds of the Church Theremin Orkestra Pope Michael Flores will open a portal to another dimension!
SATURDAY JAN 16: REMEMBERING REVEREND DEL CLOSE! The Pope tells us stories of Del Close and the 7 years they preached together. Plus loads of dirt on Chicago celebs!
SATURDAY JAN 23: THE EVE OF THE FEAST OF KLAATU!
SATURDAY JAN 30: THE CREATION OF EARTH BY SPACE ALIENS!
You will actually go back in time and help create the earth, leading up to the creation of clams on the beach. That's right, everyone present will help create earth- and none of your friends will thank you for it!
SATURDAY FEB 6: MUSIC MAYHEM! Bring weird objects and odd musical instruments for the music to celebrate the Pope's Birthday! Gifts of rum and whiskey welcome! Pope Michael Flores will perform a special Trance State Ritual and close the portal left open since the 9th! Hopefully.

"How long have we been trying to get to Mars?", asked Pope Flores at the SubGenius Devival of the Fittest held at Liar's Club. "The costs are high, and no one has figured out a safe way to return", he said. "To escape religious persecution the Chicago Clench requests the right to be sent one way to Mars. To colonize the planet. To become the Martians". The World's Fallible Pope made the declaration over an unusual musical cacophony of violin, Jews harp and kazoos.
The Church begins its Intergalactic Sex Wars Devival Saturday December 12 and 19. Special Guest Rev Hells Belle from Colorado will perform her poem about sex with space aliens to theremin music, the Pope promises a "healing ritual".
The group meets Saturdays, doors open at 8 PM. The Devival of the Fittest begins at 8:30. The Liar's Club, 1665 W. Fullerton Admission is $6. Non-members are welcome. 773- 665- 1110, but no reservations are necessary.
The Church has many celebrities in it: Mark Mothersbaugh, Pee Wee Herman, DEVO, Penn Jillette and other blasphemers, sceptics and "troublemakers". Frank Zappa praised the group as well.They appear to worship a piece of clip art of a man smoking a Pipe, and preach a Gospel of Slack. "We don't come to forgive your sins", said Pope Flores, "but to justify them".

It is beginning its second year run and this year will have a special Halloween Party- that spills into the Liar's Club already outrageous party.

The Liar's Club is at 1665 W Fullerton. No reservations needed, 773- 665 -1110. Admission is $10. http://ghosthunter.blogdrive.com

ZOMBIES BUILT CHICAGO: THE MOST IMPORTANT ZOMBIE PLAY OF OUR TIME!
Well, ok, it's the only zombie play in Chicago right now. THE BRIDES OF GHOST HUNTER RICHARD CROWE: ZOMBIES BUILT CHICAGO, starts this weekend at the liar's Club, 1665 W. Fullerton Ave 773- 665- 1110. No reservations needed. Doors open at 8PM, show starts at 8:15. Admission is $10.
I went in search of a Illinois zombie story and boy did I find one! Kaskaskia, Illinois was the first capital of Illinois and like much of the state was settled by missionaries. I found the story of an illicit love affair that ended in a horrendous murder. A story of a Native American curse, and a flood that rose the dead from their graves. THE BRIDES OF GHOST HUNTER RICHARD CROWE: ZOMBIES BUILT CHICAGO with special song parodies written by SVENGOOLIE is the latest and best edition which is only 4 performances away from a one year run.
The cast is available to re-create the stories, do a fashion feature on zombie make-up and how to turn your clothes into zombie clothes, or be interviewed.
