Mortified + Found Magazine + Material Girls

This June in LA, it's "MORTIFIED's School's Out Blow Out" event at King King! No more teachers. No more books. Plenty of angst.

After several years of non-stop sold-out shows in LA, Mortified has finally decided to take a much-needed summer vacation (er, at least just in LA; we're still sleepless elsewhere).

To celebrate Mortified's very LAST SHOW in LA until Fall, we've invited two of our very favorite BFFs to join us on stage! Attend either of these two very special events -- one night with a play, one night with a book/zine! In addition, this not-to-miss Mortified event will feature a lineup of some of our most requested performances (plus some people from our NYC show)! NOTE: our June events are @ a new venue for us (KING KING).

This Mortified Life

Angst invades America's airwaves. The always inspiring This American Life will be airing a never before broadcast Mortified clip that was recorded live at our LA show December 2005 at M Bar.

It features the sad/funny/strange/true letters of a then-teeange Will Seymour (www.williamseymour.com) and his then-ailing grandmother. It's one of our more poignant pieces-- the kind of stuff we love to get to do with Mortified. A lot of work went into shaping this piece and we hope you like it.

On a side note, Will is featured in our upcoming book (pre-order yours today) with a totally different but equally amazing submission.
