NEW YORK, NY, January 06, 2013 (Press-News.org) Hound Comics, Inc. (Hound Entertainment Group) has recently announced their first official event of the New Year taking place in New York City on January 15th. In an attempt to take Manhattan by storm; Hound has teamed up with their partners Eastsport, Inc. and CaJohns Fiery Foods - as well as the leading local internet guide, Yelp. Spotlighting celebrity based products from Ron 'Bumblefoot' Thal (Guns 'N Roses), Jene' Luciani (America's Favorite Bra & Style Guru), Danny Gagnon (Top Chef), the Food Hounds (Food Hound: Tidbits) and Hound's CEO Brimstone (Entertainment Entrepreneur); the event itself will seamlessly unite various avenues of entertainment including art, music, fashion, celebrities and more under one unique roof - Times Scare NYC (Times Square's only year round Haunted Attraction). Epic would be a true understatement; so the festivities have been appropriately dubbed the 'Spicy Hound Extravaganza'.

Event goers will enjoy an exclusive performance by Bumblefoot himself; accompanied by acclaimed vocalist Tony Harnell (TNT), while noshing on spooky finger-foods courtesy of Times Scare. Samplings of delicious morsels made using the brand new Food Hound:Tidbits, Brimstone, and Bumblefoot branded lines of seasonings, salsa and sauces will be served throughout the evening. In celebration of the worldwide release, CaJohns will be dishing out a fantastic foodie demonstration using favorites from the product line - being served up by none other than Danny Gagnon (Top Chef) and the infamous John 'CaJohn' Hard. Yelpers from the Tri-State area will have the opportunity to attend the event and be a part of foodie history with a variety of flavors including Flavor Behavior, Tastebud Tango, Hell Dust, Grindhouse, Normal, Abnormal and Bumblef****d. "When you're passionate about something like music, life follows a process - you love it, then you make it, then you share it. It's the same with hot sauce. Love it, make it, share it..." says Thal.

Eastsport - one of the world's leading brands of backpacks and luggage; will be showcasing the line of recently released 'Brimstone and The Borderhounds' backpacks, based on the hit series by Hound Comics. Also being featured throughout the evening will be the highly anticipated signature series of guitar cases by Bumblefoot (including the Bumblebabe line). Fashionistas will be inspired by style expert, Luciani who will be promoting her lingerie inspired handbag line 'Rising Star by Jene' Luciani' being primed for a Fall 2013 release. Speaking of Fall, attendees will enjoy Halloween early as Times Scare is reducing its pricing for the year-round haunt to $13 per person for not only the night; but for the entire month.

Lastly, partygoers will have the first opportunity to get their hands on the coveted release of Brimstone and The Borderhounds special edition "Critical MASS" - Hound's first ever crossover comic book with over fifteen characters from the company's universe; written by Brimstone, inked by Jake Isenberg, colored by Blair Smith, lettered by Shawn Reynolds and introducing Rudy Tamales on pencils. "We had a major growth increase in the last quarter of 2012 and we are delighted to be celebrating the unveiling of our newly acquired licensed titles." says Marcello Carnevali, Hound VP.
