Vampires and Werewolves have been at war for centuries. Their problems with each other are, quite literally, deadly serious. So what better place to address them than a comedy club? This October 27th at the nightclub Comix, The Vampire-Werewolf Summit of 2009 will bring lycanthrope activists and vampire slaves together under the same roof for a (hopefully) peaceful, insightful discussion of their respective realms of experience. There might be blood.

In the most progressive event of its kind to take place since the Great Night-Creature Armistice of 1436, this meeting will address a wide range of topics, from their long-running feud to more day-to-day concerns.

Moderated by Christian Finnegan (Best Week Ever, Chappelle’s Show) issues will include:
- coexisting with an easily startled 21st century populace,
- dealing with a pitchfork-wielding mobs,
- addressing the use of the term "monster," and of course,
- who would win in a fight.

Don't miss this historic evening. Your very life could depend on it.
