dolfatimine


I have been busy documenting the build up to the halloween parade in Rialto/Fatima/Dolphins Barn tonight. The Night of the Dark Angel is a collaboration between the Fatima Regeneration Board, Macnas and the local community. It also has comedian Des Bishop (a resident of Rialto) in a starring role. The theme of the parade is actually quite profound:

the undead are ruling a dictatorship that governs Rialtovania and their mission is to destroy spontaneity, creativity and any sense of enterprise. They enforce this through iron-fist rule and by prescribing Dolfatimine.

Expect alot of zombies, stilt walkers, zany floats and basically terrifying kids that you probably would run from normally, if in Rialto. Above is a promotional tool that E4 are using for Charlie Brooker's Deadset. Go to here and terrify your Big Brother loving friends (if there are any fans left?).

i was thinking something exactly along these lines but luckily you said it first: "basically terrifying kids that you probably would run from normally, if in Rialto"

It actually was a great parade. I heard some of the boys on the stilts had water pistols though and soaked my house mate and other members of the audience..harmless behavior though.

The kids in the area are fascinated by my hi-tops so i'm left alone. strange. :)
