Got invited to a famous musician's party on Christmas Day. Wish I had a genuine SG to take with me.

CELEBRATE THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST WITH ZERO DEFEX!

As everyone knows by now, Jesus Christ will begin the Rapture in which all the faithful are taken up to Heaven on May 21st. In honor of His second coming Zero Defex will play a special show on that final day on Earth for all the faithful on May 21st at Annabelle's Lounge in Akron with Don Austin, Cheap Tragedies and Weird Penis. The show is free.

So, since this is the final day for Planet Earth as we know it, I recommend that all of you in far flung places spend your last savings to come see us rock out the Rapture. How better to spend your final hours if you're one of the faithful, or to prepare for seven years of torment and the coming reign of the Anti-Christ if you're not?

Here's a preview of what to expect that day.

For more on the second coming, check out this article from LA Weekly.

For those of you with pets who want to know what to do with Fido or Felix or Crackers the parrot after you are taken up to meet Jesus in the air, we recommend Eternal Earthbound Pets or After The Rapture Pet Care. These kindly atheists have set up organizations to lovingly care for the pets of the faithful after Jesus calls their owners home.

Filming on Shoplifting From American Apparel has been going nicely. Yesterday we shot a whole bunch of scenes on Hollywood Boulevard near Vine. Weird homeless-looking people kept trying to walk into the shots. We had two guys tell our director they would pray for him to go the Hell because he wouldn't give them some of the granola bars he'd bought for the actors and crew. We had a human beatbox try to beatbox his way into the production. Oh the fun of Hollywood! (Pics from the Shoplifting From American Apparel shoot)

I'd try and think of something Zen to say. But I gotta go now.

I'll see all of you on May 21st!

CELEBRATE THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST WITH ZERO DEFEX ON MAY 21st!

Gotta run. So no time to reformat this post for SG. I'll try & do that before the show.

I'll be in Southern California next week. Here are the dates:

May 10, 2011 (Tue) 7:00 pm Ventura Buddhist Center 901 S. Saticoy Ave, Ventura, CA 93004
May 12, 2011 (Thu) 7:30 pm Against The Stream 4300 Melrose Ave Los Angeles, CA

All SG members in So Cal are required to attend one or both. Note that the appearance at Against The Stream is on a Thursday. Their usual program is Wednesday. I got my own special day, which is the good news. The bad news is that people might tend to assume I'll be there Wednesday, which I won't.
