A few pals are doing cool things tonight. You make-it-outers better make it out to something. And you I-didn’t-make-it-outers, please compensate for your no-shows on Halloween and masquerade as a make-it-outer tonight and, again, make it out to something. If you get too drunk and hurt yourself I will hold your registration down at the hospital, so you’re covered.

SevenCities writer, funnyman, and solid guy Brendan Kennedy will be joining Hatton Jordan and show mastermind Jason Kypros for an evening of mirth and art at the Little Theatre of Norfolk in a benefit for that worthy venue. The quiet, civil art appreciation will commence around 8 before being invaded by music a half hour later, eventually breaking down into laughter-via-stand-up-comedy-humor at 9:30.

Meanwhile, in another city, the first top notch free-to-the-public zombie double feature will go down at the Chesapeake Central Library. The Fantasmo maniacs Rob Floyd and Jim Blanton will be kicking off an evening of Aussie zombie mayhem at 8, screening Undead and Dead Alive back-to-back (although thematic shenanigans and door prizes are sure to transpire as well). Maybe I write about these guys too much (I’ve done it so far on every online forum I’ve been given, and now here), but I admire the hell out of them. I learned firsthand a few times how hard it is to generate interest in movie screenings. In this Netflix age, they hold it down, keep it fun and keep it moving with no fear of showing hard-R horror features in a public library. Something must be said for that, and the best thing to say is “I’m there!”
