Portland, Oregon, September 29, 2009: The heroes and villains of our fair Portlandia have once more agreed to set aside their petty differences for a single night… and gather together for the betterment of their community!
The Alter Egos Society is excited to announce our 3rd Annual Hero/Villain Ceasefire, a fundraising event on Saturday, October 10, 2009, from 7 p.m. to midnight. The evening, co-hosted by The Society’s most heroic Mister Marvelous and the rather sinister Purr-tender, will be held for the second year at the p:ear Gallery, located at 338 NW 6th Avenue in Portland. All attendees–be they hero, villain, or chaotic neutral–are asked to pay a cover of $5, with proceeds from the evening’s door, games, and merchandising benefiting p:ear.
Highlights for the event include:
· a screening of “Archives of the Fantastic: The Ninth Cosmic Convergence”, The Society’s original short film (approximately 50 minutes)
· music by DJ Ghostdad and a surprise live band
· vending of food and drink
· a Phone-Booth-To-The-Future, letting costumed adventurers record a video message to send to the future (and maybe the Internet)
· school carnival-themed game booths and costume contest, with PRIZES!
o Prizes provided by Dark Horse Comics, Bridge City Comics, Guardian Games, and many more!
The Alter Egos Society is made up of intrepid superhero enthusiasts, artists, and functional nerds who put on events for creative expression… and the chance to wear tights in public (for the greater good, obviously). The group was conceived as a plan to throw one killer superhero-themed house party, and evolved to become the community supporter it is today. We coordinate multiple annual events to raise money for p:ear (www.pearmentor.org), a local organization that works to better the lives of at-risk and homeless youth.
