This week I'm joined by Crash and Russy from the horror rock band Boy Eats Gurl. You can listen to them and find out more about them on their web site, on their MySpace page, and on their Facebook page.

Don't forget to send your 500-word zombie flash fiction in for the contest by July 4.

I'll tell you all about my adventures in going to see Phish this past weekend in Ohio. You'll hear a lot of Voicemails of Death from a lot of wonderful people. I review the movies Army of Darkness (1993) and the upcoming DVD release of Resurrecting the Streetwalker (2009). I talk about a few news articles that caught my attention, as well as bringing you brand new original music.

Phish – Blossom, Cuyahoga Falls, OH 6-12-10

Of all the bands I've gone out to see throughout my life -- starting with the Pittsburgh stop of They Might Be Giants' Apollo 18 tour when I was 15 -- Phish is the most wonderful, consistent group I've seen. Even if you just listen to any of their readily-available live recordings, you'll hear that they strive to stretch the bounds of their music and deliver new experiences to their audience. And to rock.

Last night was a fantastic Phish show. The highlights for me were "Sample in a Jar," "Mike's Song" segued into "Weekapaug Groove," "Character Zero," and "The Squirming Coil" as their encore/closer. I always get chills when Page pounds out the last bars of that one.

I took all these pictures on my Blackberry Storm, so the quality sucks on some of them.

The crowd was thick, hot, and impatient. Bottlenecks going in, and worse bottlenecks trying to get out afterward.

The weatherman called for scattered thunderstorms, but it never rained until well after the show. While I'm glad that we didn't get dumped on while Phish played, I was actually praying for the rains to come and alleviate the humidity. I was coated in sweat the whole time.

Phish has the best light show. Period. Chris Kuroda is a brilliant lighting designer, and is as much a part of the band as any of the four playing on stage.

Balloon Guy. This hippie kept running through the crowd with ornate balloon animals, and seemed to really like running around the area we were standing in.

We're all raising awareness this week about all the awareness-raising going on.

I talk about the Eric S. Brown and David Dunwoody Zombie Flash Fiction Contest, and how awesome it is. I encourage you all to read Bryan Wolford's first serial novel, 48 Pieces. I make a few comments about the final episode of Lost. Also, I bring up the Twitter confrontation that went down earlier this week. Fun stuff! I tried the beer that supposedly tastes like pot: Hazed & Infused Dry-Hopped Ale by Boulder Beer Company. Spooky Bill called in this week's single voicemail.

And listen closely, as I reveal how my parents tell me they decided on my name.

Three movie reviews this week: Bikini Girls on Ice (2010), Kill Your Idols (2004), and Dead Moon Rising (2007).

My original music for you this week is another cover. I owe Creedence Clearwater Revival and John Fogerty a huge apology for my version of "Bad Moon Rising."

Eric S. Brown and David Dunwoody Zombie Flash Fiction Contest

BrownDunwoodyContest On episode 3 of the podcast, I talked with Eric S. Brown about holding some sort of contest. Amazing author David Dunwoody has joined in the fun! So now I present to you the Eric S. Brown and David Dunwoody Zombie Flash Fiction Contest.

Here's what you gotta do:

We want a zombie story from you. It has to be completely original, and be no longer than 500 words. Here's a good article to help get you familiarized with flash fiction if you're new to it.

Type it up, put it into the body of an email message (along with your name), and send it to: corey AT midnightcorey DOT com. Please put "Zombie Flash Fiction Contest" in the subject line.

All the entries will be read by Eric S. Brown and David Dunwoody, and they will decide on the top three stories.

The prizes:

First Place: Bigfoot War by Eric S. Brown; Empire (first edition, signed) by David Dunwoody
Second Place: How the West Went to Hell (signed) by Eric S. Brown; UNBOUND & Other Tales (signed) by David Dunwoody
Third Place: Kinberra Down (signed) by Eric S. Brown and Jessy Marie Roberts

The three winners will also be read on an upcoming episode of Midnight Corey's podcast.

The deadline:

Your entries must be received by 11:59pm on July 4, 2010. Say happy birthday to America by writing a 500-word zombie gorefest!

The contest has officially begun, so start writing! Multiple submissions are allowed (in separate emails, please), but please limit to 3 entries per person.

A huge thank you goes out to Eric S. Brown and David Dunwoody for offering their books and judging expertise!
