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 45 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!

Exciting! We’ll see you all there!
