It’s not every day that I can talk to a god — even a made-up one. But the Republic of Thoronia is a strange and ironic place. Here’s what I’m sure I know: King Thor chills in a scarf, old sneakers and boxers. He carries around a tote bag filled with important stuff that fell out of his head. Beyond that, I’m at a loss.
Tonight at 7 p.m. at the Skinny Squirrel, 3047 Larimer Street, The Republic of Thoronia Artifact Exhibit is a chance to learn all there is to know about this, er, alternate (read: fictional) history. “Everything is going to be explained better than it has been,” says Thoronian deity King Thor. “There’s going to be a history chart graphing histories — the present histories that we know and this alternative history that could have been.” Other “artifacts” include a suit of armor, paintings, dolls and a mustache chart.
Admission is free. For more information, e-mail republicofthoronia@gmail.com or go to http://blog.mcbya.net.
