I went to the John Anson Ford Amphitheatre and the Cinematic Titanic show the evening of last (as it is now 3 a.m. and properly qualifies as morning)
Anyway, the show was great! And I had -- maybe one of the best evenings since, well, since my last best evening (Ibid. page 31-67 "My Best Evenings")
Perhaps you have heard the expression 'the most fun you can have with your pants on'? Well, I had such a great time I briefly entertained taking my pants off, just so I could tell the difference -- it was that perfect.
The bad film of the evening was called The Doomsday Machine (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0061592/) from 1972 and starred Bobby Van, Will Farrell and Casey (Top Ten) Kasem! It was truly awful, certainly worthy of jest and the gang came through with a lot of great jokes.
Plus it was all outside, so we had the stars above and fireflies dangling about us. I also ran into some old friends of mine I hadn't seen in many a golden moon.
My whole day went like that -- everything went exactly as it should. Every parking spot I needed to get, I got, every train I caught I did with seconds to spare, every meal I ate was perfectly prepared, and since I wasn't driving I could have that second margarita! Lo! I didn't spill anything on me, I didn't lose my wallet, nobody over six foot sat in front of me and I was in the first group on the shuttle back to the train.
After I got home I received an e-mail from an old friend containing an mp3 of a hereto unreleased George Harrison song! And ... it was beautiful, a great little song in the vein of Crackerbox Palace.
Earlier that afternoon my friend Fred offered me a job driving dwarves to and fro a MTV shoot. Truly, it was not one of those calls a person offen gets, so I was truly tempted, though I think I made the right decision.
For those errant MST3K fans who missed the show -- too bad!
