Hello beloved young Wierdos of the World, hope you all enjoyed last week’s live performances…Suffice it to say with 9 live performers and 6 musicians providing the scintilationg score the amazing Micki Pellerano provided one of the most complex, viscerally explosive evenings the WIERD has ever seen, I really felt quite honored to be there in the Very Rare, restraint barely intact as the svelt young writhing bodies unfurled in flames amidst the fog and the echoes 
...BTW if anyone of the seemingly ‘all’ of you there to witness this event with mediating screens in front of yr faces simply as you couldn’t apparently bear the pleasures of the raw flesh unfolding there before yr eyez could kindly send along any nice images you have to .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) for the archives we’d really appreciate it!

This week WIERD welcomes back our fave young Parasitologist in training taking a little sojourn from his rather frighteningly ambitious PHd studies at Johns Hopkins DEATH DOMAIN for a live performance of pure, unbridled Ice-Encrusted Minimal Electronic music at midnight! Adam has done his homework well and can look at any paranoia inducing buldge protruding from under the skin of any body part you like and lovingly assure you ‘...darling its OK you are simply very sick and will die in 2 weeks no worries, excuse me love I have to play my killer new track ‘Ethidium Bromide’...go get us both a cocktail honey and we’ll talk soon ))’
