Vampire Bootcamp

in: Academia, Cultural, Personal, Viral

Cheers to the excellent Rob Latham for teaching a Vampire Bootcamp! I like Rob a lot, and I’m thrilled that he does this kind of thing. (Thanks to JRG for alerting me to the article.)

Anyone interested in going to a similar vampire workshop in Atlanta?

It’s not role-playing, so don’t expect a goth. Seriously, I can teach this too, or moderate a discussion if you prefer.

Interested in the vampire as an overdetermined signifier? Want to compare vampirism and communion on that quasi-material/quasi spiritual thing in blood that promises immortality - at a price? Addiction and seduction and horror and humor, Count Chocula and Vampires Anonymous, lost boys and rebellious girls, Dracula and Draculya, detectives and soldiers.

I’ll put a workshop together here if enough people are interested. Email me at heidi at virushead (dot) net.
