Friday the 13th, Part 1: Thunderdome 6

It got shut down by the Man at the early hour of 1 a.m. -- a first for the Elks -- but by that time people were sardined inside and outside, smoking like fiends, sweating off their fake blood, begging for more energy drinks. All told, the Friday the 13th edition of Thunderdome was on blast. Brooklyn of-the-moment DJ team Bangers came down and dropped eponymous heat til the mirrors misted in the back room; in the front, the resident Thunderdomers had zombie chicks making out with each other on the poles. There is video evidence -- including all of the above plus Big Digits TD in a Jason mask and Mike Mistaker's roving Freddy Krueger glove -- but fuck if we know when we'll get around to editing it. In the meantime, K. Bonami's snaps will have to do. Extra special thanks for Cami (ex-OTD, current VVM) for getting shitfaced and goading us into interviewing random girls, one of whom turned out to be an alum of our esteemed alma mater in Philly -- a joint whose lesser alums include Noam Chomsky, Bill Cosby, and DJ Jazzy Jeff. (Speaking of which, dudes: who let these 269 poseurs hijack the CHS Wikipedia page? Everyone knows the best class ever was the 249. Jeez.)
