Survival Skills

Like any good guidance counsellor, the Telephone Room Gallery wants you to be prepared for life and art. And like any good guidance counsellor knows, the best way to be prepared is to take a multiple choice quiz. Take a good hard look at yourself and ask yourself What are your chances of surviving a Zombie Apocalypse? (It's a multiple choice quiz actually, not just a single question.)

Depending on your results from the above quiz, you will now probably need more information about how to defend yourself and how to create a zombie survival kit. If you're in a hurry, just add a weapon to your FEMA basic survival kit. If you want to survive, read on:

If you're like Heide, you should probably read the Wikipedia entries for vampires and zombies. Or maybe search the archives of The New Yorker (more on that later).

If you're like Marty and Ellen, supplementary reading on zombies and vampires won't be necessary.

14 Days of Lego: Days 12, 13

Here at the Telephone Room Gallery, we are very busy getting ready for the upcoming opening of our LEGO Show. So busy, in fact, that we never got the blog post up for Day 12 of our 14-day LEGO-related countdown!

As an apology for yesterdays omission, we've provided a double-dose of LEGO fun: the brick house and the outhouse. The first, a link sent in by an astute Telephone Room Gallery follower, is an immense building project being undertaken in the UK.



The second is a sneak-peak of one of the works from The Telephone Room's very own LEGO Show, part of a special series by Dan Creamer.



Come by tomorrow after 6 pm to see everything we've created, or to make something yourself! Remember, you can always email for directions or to set up an individual viewing appointment.
