This Just In 4/2/10: Zombie March, Free Films, More Easter Egg Hunts, and please VOTE for me (takes 30 seconds)!

Here are some last-minute updates on the weekend, and see the previous post for more.

Meanwhile, I need your help with something! As you may know, I self-funded a community art project last year called Wheel Questions. This year, I’ve entered to win a grant from the Pepsi corporation. It’s a slick marketing idea. They give out grants if you get all your friends to visit their website and vote for you. You can vote once a day for an entire month.

This blog is free, and the Wheel is free too. I’d just like the funds to keep doing it. Please do me a favor and go vote at least once, or put it in your calendar and vote every day as I’ll be doing. It takes less than 30 seconds. The link is Wheel Questions on the Pepsi Refresh Site. Thanks!

The Week in Weird
Young Filmmakers Competition 4/3 Boston Metro Weird Boston Events, by Johnny Monsarrat
And I still have two free passes to the Young Filmmakers Competition. I don’t normally feature film fesivals, but the weather’s too cold for much outdoors, and a ton of filmmakers to meet and mingle with. The evening isn’t just a screening and awards show. They’ll have a social mixer both before and afterwards. Tickets are only $5.

But best of all, where should you take your 2-year-old baby for widdle-widdle snookums and the Easter Wabbit? THE HARD ROCK CAFÉ!! ARRGHGHGHGH!! HARD BABY HAAAAARRD ROCK!
