Austin, TX, we love you. Yes we do. Filled up the Dobie Theater to its capacity back in ’91 or ’92, and spoke in a stadium mascot uniform. Chicken Little, specifically, since the lecture was about Apocalypse Culture. Frank Kozik did the poster: a Nazi minister with red Shriner clown nose. Twenty years later, we’re [...]

Red Men or No Red Men?

1905 Improved Order of Red Men

Now that Ritual America has returned from the printer, we will in turn focus on our favorite bits of fraternal weirdness these coming weeks.

Talk about coincidences. Here’s a few. After Feral House released Nightmare of Ecstasy: The Life and Art of Edward D. Wood, Jr., in 1992, many readers got quite excited.
