Press Release

PORTLAND, OR – ZetamanTV, the locally produced reality web series that chronicles the crime fighting, comic book drawing and fundraising adventures of Portland’s real-life superhero Zetaman and his superhero-posse, is set to shoot new episodes at the 4th annual Superheroes Anonymous (SA4) convention in Portland. The event, which runs September 17-19, provides a rare opportunity for real-life superheroes (RLSH) from around the world to meet, attend workshops, and discuss the state of the community.

Please see www.zetaman.tv

Zetaman was selected by his RLSH peers to host this year’s Superheroes Anonymous, a responsibility that he takes as seriously as his costumed activism. “I was blown away and humbled when they selected me,” admits Zetaman. “Most RLSH only know each other through online chats and pictures. This could be the only chance they ever get to meet each other in-person.”

ZetamanTV producer Allan Luebke plans to roll cameras on the entire three-day event. “This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,” Luebke says excitedly. “ZetamanTV’s core fan base is the real-life superhero community. Because of ZetamanTV partnering with SA4, those same heroes now have the opportunity to appearance in the show.”

Luebke plans to take advantage of the weeks leading up to SA4 by premiering a new episode and new outtake every Wednesday starting August 11 and culminating September 17, the first day of SA4. The strategy has been a big hit. The first new episode, which shows Zetaman and superhero teammate Antiman painting their new body armor, received record-setting views in the first day.

Dear Superheroes Anonymous 4 attendees,

We have received a tremendous opportunity to have the Red Cross teach a course in CPR and First Aid. This will take the place of the workshop classes. The Red Cross has offered to teach this class at a discount price of $40.00 per person. Once the members take this 6 ½ hour course, they will be certified to administer CPR for one year and First Aid for three years.

Please take advantage of this offer now. The deadline to register is August 27, Please pay your registration at signup@saportland.info.

We will be taking these classes at
Oregon Trail Chapter
3131 N. Vancouver Avenue, Portland, OR 97227
www.oregonredcross.org

These classes empower people to act in times of emergency. By being a first responder, you provide critical attention needed in the few precious minutes before EMT’s arrive. This class will help give the necessary skills you need to be effective on the streets.

So please register for this class early. Send the funds to signup@saportland.info. And take part in a class that will teach you to be a better Superhero.

Hello superheroes!

This past Thursday we held our 2nd costume workshop at the inimitable  Spacecraft Brooklyn, and it was easily our best one yet! Not only did we create awesome new superhero gear and have a great time hanging with others, but we also organized a patrol for that Saturday night to test out our new look and help some folk out.

In case you missed what the Superheroes Anonymous costume workshop is all about, it’s a chance for existing and aspiring Real Life Superheroes to come together to work on their costumes, socialize, and talk about Real Life Superheroism – swapping tips and experiences. Spacecraft Brooklyn makes available sewing machines, any and all the fabric you could think of, sprays, paints, gear, string, and accessories – all so that you can make the most uniquely awesome superhero costume imaginable. Additionally, there’s free beer in case any superheroes get thirsty!

In either case, stay tuned for an announcement on the next costume workshop and if you attended one of our previous events and want to go on patrol, email either ben@superheroesanonymous.com or life@superheroesanonymous.com

And if you can’t wait for the next event, check out some images below!

That’s right folks! After the success of our previous local meetings, SA is again teaming up with the wonderful folks at SpaceCraft Brooklyn to bring you another fantastic Costume Workshop and Superhero Education Seminar! You will be able to utilize all the tools, materials, resources and skills of the helpful folks at SpaceCraft to create nearly anything to compliment your superhero uniform – while getting a chance to learn from experienced Real Life Superheroes! This is a great opportunity to meet other like-minded wonderful people who want to make the world a better place through creative altruism! We hope to see you there!

SUPERHEROES ANONYMOUS COSTUME WORKSHOP

When? Thursday, July 29^th, 7-10 PM

Where? SpaceCraft: 355 Bedford Avenue @ S. 4^th St in Williamsburg, Brooklyn

Superheroes Anonymous will be holding a COSTUME WORKSHOP on Thursday, July 29th at the wonderful venue, Spacecraft Brooklyn! This event will help aspiring and active Real Life Superheroes develop and design superhero identities and realize their inner superhero. With the materials and skills of the SPACECRAFT team, we can create nearly anything to accompany your superhero uniform! It’s the perfect time to become acquainted with the work of SUPERHEROES ANONYMOUS and to create a unique superhero costume that can never be bought in a store!

The price of admission is $20 and will include materials needed to turn a normal wardrobe into a fully functional SUPERHERO COSTUME! We will also be providing FREE BEER for those 21 and older.

Though we will be providing materials, participants must bring a BASE WARDROBE that they want to be modified. That means a basic shirt and pants (or spandex!) to be turned into a super-heroic uniform. For example: we can help you make a mask, design a cape or breastplate or sew cool designs and accessories onto your jeans or shirt, but we won’t be able to provide the Under Armour or motorcycle jackets.

PRICE: $20/person.
INCLUDES: Costume Materials & Unlimited Beer

DIRECTIONS: L train to Bedford Ave, walk South to S. 4^th St.

Or walking – right off the Williamsburg Bridge

The following article appeared in Flashnews – a mobile news website.

NEW YORK (Wireless Flash – FlashNews) – Even superheroes need a helping hand sometimes.

Cue Superheroes Anonymous, a New York-based support group of caped crusaders who run around the city doing small acts of good like dispensing toiletries to the homeless while dressed in superhero costumes.

Though the group was inspired by Alcoholics Anonymous, co- founder Ben Goldman says their mission is the complete opposite: They actually want to keep their members hooked.

He explains, “AA helps people lose their habit while Superheroes Anonymous is trying to convince people to take up a habit. In this case it’s superheroism. We want to enable bigger acts of good.”

The group even has its own 12-step program which teaches the superhero philosophy while giving practical advice for day-to-day acts of bravery.

Goldman says that although crime bosses aren’t being taken down by the superheroes just yet, they are making small differences to improve their city.

We just had our first planning meeting. Individuals interested in attending Superheroes Anonymous 4: Project Portland needs to RSVP as soon as possible. To make a reservation, send an email to signup@saportland.info. We need reservations so that we can budget for the Awards Dinner (September 19) as well as different workshops and hotel group rates.

Superheroes Anonymous is focused on Susan G. Komen’s Race for the Cure. Registration for this is $30. Please join the SA team at http://race.komenoregon.org/goto/superheroesanonymous. This is a excellent opportunity to raise funds as a community to cancer research. If you are joining in, please do your best to fundraise on your own. Shoot videos, flood forums and blogs, anything anyone can do to raise money on their own would be fantastic. When you do have your donation page set up, please send a link to signup@saportland.info so that we may add it to our links.

The awards ceremony will be held at the Northwest Children’s Theater and School in the board room. This will be a catered dinner however alcohol will not be present.
