Bringing Out the DC Dead
Chris Klimek
The flood of new words from me posting today and tomorrow includes this Washington City Paper feature on DC Dead, Rex Daugherty and Vaughn Irving's "zombie survival experience" set in the former Fort Fringe at 607 New York Ave. NW, and likely, if not certain, to be that storied old wreck's final show now that the Capital Fringe Festival has officially moved a mile and change east, to the H Street NE corridor.
The photo (click to enlarge it) is of something I saw taped up to the inside of one of the windows in the second-floor room where they used to assemble the festival's schedule using sticky-notes on the Sunday I visited to report the story. The City Paper photographed CapFringe founder Julianne Brienza there for my cover story about the festival in 2010, and they've reused those pictures many times in the years since.
