Tinfoil Hats, Anal Probes Land at Alien Abduction Fest

TORONTO—Cross sci-fi with crafting and you’ve got the Alien Abduction Festival, an event built around tinfoil hats, UFOs and the infamous anal probe purportedly conducted by curious extraterrestrials.

The festival, organized by Kris Schantz of custom toy shop Happy Worker, took place March 20 at comic book stores, bookstores and sex-toy shops on Toronto’s hip Queen Street West. Attractions included an alien birthing room, tinfoil-hat tailoring, a spaceship factory and informative sessions in Probology 101. There was even a discussion group on how to talk to aliens, led by York University anthropologist Kathryn Denning at Waq-n-Raq restaurant.

The festival, held for the first time this year, drew between 50 and 75 sci-fi fans, according to Schantz.

Probably NSFW, because of the pic of the ‘Alien anal-probing “expert”’ holding ‘Bendy Beads anal “probe”.’

Good grief, good thing there wasn’t any actual ‘demonstration’.

There’s a comment there somewhere:

The anal probes sound pretty fun.

And of course, with the birth of the artist came the inevitable afterbirth—the critic.

Those who wish to fight, must now about eternal might. The blue skies turn red, Maybe it’s time you fled? Why wait for the army to strike when you know you don’t need to fight? Aren’t I right? The flower will bloom, and after the blue skies turn red, out comes your doom.

That sounds like so much fun - especially its description as sci-fi crossed with crafting.
