Video Nasties Fest: VHS Convention

From founder King Gorilla Video:

In a sad turn of events, the King Gorilla crew will not be able to attend VHSFest at the Mahoning Drive-In OR the beloved summer staple Dead Formats in Indianapolis. We will genuinely miss the friends we have made at these exceptional conventions.

But we're making chicken salad out of chicken sh!t, and we are partnering with Planet of the Tapes (Kentucky’s longest continually-operating VHS-themed bar and venue space) to build our own damn thing! We hope that we can see some of you again this October here at homebase in Louisville, KY!

Details are still being finalized, but we have the space, we are lining up vendors, and our resident artist is designing flyers, posters, shirts, and stickers now.

This is getting good.

If you can, please go to VHSFest at the Mahoning Drive-In and go to Dead Formats in Indianapolis, and post all kinds of pictures so we can enjoy vicariously through you!

We hope to see you in October in Louisville. — at Planet of the Tapes.

We're a small room, and we're not overcrowded. You'll be no more than 25 feet away from your favorite performer.

Be kind,
