Ready to cast your ballot? The ballot for “best comedy lineup,” that is. Because NerdMelt Showroom has a slate of shows that deserve “four more years!” Politics!
Friday at 8:00 is The INVOCATION I Art Opening!
INVOCATION I is an exploration of darkness and esoterica from five artists who, with work featured on top black, death and doom metal records and in occult and art publications, create the aesthetic that helps to define the modern fringe of extreme art and music. Antichrist Kramer and Peter Beste will be in attendance signing. DJ Jonbenet (Dominick from Ash Pool/Prurient) will be doing a special 7â³ only black and death metal DJ set.
Free!

Hey Chris,
First off, I am a big fan. You have really done a lot to support Doctor Who. Also, you on Craig Ferguson’s show will permanently be on my DVR forever. I just saw you on the “Best of the Christmas Specials”. You were great but…
Which doctor got shot by a thing and then regenerated? (you said this)
Doctor 1 died of extreme old age
Doctor 2 didn’t die… He was forced to regenerate by the time lords
Doctor 3 got lost in the time vortex after being exposed to metabelas crystals
Doctor 4 fell off the array
Doctor 5 got bit by a freakin spider
Doctor 6 got killed by turbulence – that strangely enough didn’t hurt any of the companions
Doctor 7 died from medical malpractice – thanks Obama Care JK 🙂
Doctor 8 – I assume burned up during the Time War
Doctor 9 – absorbed the Time Vortex from Rose
Anyway, I really like the podcast and please continue to bring Doctor Who to more of us current fans and future fans.
