Lyra Hill performed the first half of her upcoming comic Recent Days, an autobiographical descent into self-destruction and debauchery, with the help of friends mostly playing themselves, including: Ross Meckfessel, Sara Drake, Bryan Wendorf, Ben Bertin, Orla McHardy, Michael Morrill, Gina Wynbrandt, Jeremy Tinder, and Ziyuan Wang; Tyson Torstensen, who also scored the downtime between performances, built a live soundtrack of spacey synth music and frightening sound effects; this herculean effort debuted at Brain Frame 7 on July 28th, 2012, and will conclude at Brain Frame 10, in January, 2013.
