" JOIN US FOR A NIGHT OF DRINKS, SNACKS AND MASK MAKING, AND PLAY LOGAN’S GAME - A IMMERSIVE, GROUP ORIENTED EXPERIMENTAL VIDEO GAME.
THE EVENING WILL BE STRUCTURED AROUND THE PREPARATION AND ACTIVATION OF THE GAME - A HYBRID EXPERIENCE THAT TAKES PLACE IN BOTH THE PHYSICAL AND VIRTUAL REALM.
WE WILL BEGIN THE NIGHT WITH DRINKS AND REFRESHMENTS, AND CARRY ON TO THE FIRST STEP OF THE GAME, WHICH IS THAT OF MASK CREATION. VARIOUS MASKS WILL BE PROVIDED - INCLUDING BLANK MASKS, FIT FOR CUSTOMIZATION - HOWEVER, ATTENDEES ARE ENCOURAGED TO EITHER BRING THEIR OWN HOME-MADE MASK, AND / OR MATERIAL TO CONCEIVE THE MASK BEFORE THE GAME BEGINS. ONLY DIY MASKS WILL BE ALLOWED. ONCE THERE IS AN ADEQUATE NUMBER OF MASKS AND PARTICIPANTS WE WILL CONTINUE ON TO THE ACTUAL ACTIVATION OF THE GAME.
PARTICIPATION IN GAME-PLAY IS NEITHER REQUIRED NOR EXPECTED; SO, IN THE CASE YOU DECIDE NOT TO PLAY, PLEASE CONSIDER ATTENDING, AS IT WILL BE AN OPPORTUNITY TO OBSERVE THE STRANGENESS OF THE GAME IN ACTION WHILE HAVING A FUN TIME WITH SOME NICE PEOPLE!"

"TOO MUCH FUN TOO"
AT QUIMBY'S BOOKSTORE, CHICAGO, 2017
Video of my performance during the release event for my comic,
"Too Much Fun Too," the second installment in the Too Much Fun series.
Staged at Quimby's Bookstore in Chicago, March 10th 2017.
This was the first time I had ever performed in such a way (if that wasn't obvious.)
Thanks to Michael Handler for filming, Connor Bush for his poem, all the cool people who showed up to watch, and Quimby's Bookstore in Chicago for hosting this weird thing.
