That being said, Forbidden Planet NYC is hosting an event this coming Sunday, January 10th with Japanese Cosplay Singer Reni.  She’ll be performing live, signing CDs, taking pics, and generally being bouncy starting at 12pm.  Sounds like an awesomely surreal Sunday at the Planet!

Other events we’ve lined up this coming winter include an appearance by writer/artist Steve Mannion (!!!) of THE BOMB and FEARLESS DAWN fame…

…And a special event with TROMA to commemorate their Blu-Ray release of Poultrygeist in February!

And speaking of TROMA, there’s also a free shindig going down at Otto’s Shrunken Head tonight here in NYC (14th St. between  Ave A&B) featuring a live performance by The Mugs, followed by a double-header screening of  Troma’s War and The Last Horror Film.

Maybe I’ll see ya there after I close the shop.  Or at one of the other aforementioned gigs.  Dates, times, and other specifics are being worked out for Mr. Mannion and the Poultrygeist affair, but I’ll announce them the second they’re available.  Either way, I’d love to see you!
