What tickles me is that clap clap clap clap - Deep in the Heart of Texas seemed so spontaneous, and not some planned Rocky Horror, bring-your-toast kinda of thing.

I heard so many people say they hadn't seen the film in years and years. It was already a pumped-up, sold-out "house" before Paul Reubens/Pee Wee Herman took the stage, held a brief cast reunion, and then introduced the movie with delightful inflections of 'the voice.'

I've never laughed so hard at that film. I think the same can be said of many in the crowd. That crowd was alive, was scinilating, and simmering towards boil. The movie just kept getting funnier and funnier, everyone in the crowd feeding off each other (and perhaps with a little inspiration from having so many in the cast in the audience).


At one point, Keith and I were talking about the phenonmon of staying up all night. I didn't get a chance to mention to him that, in the days when I made a habit of that ... it was accomplished via LSD ... and invariably it would be on a Saturday night that would see us finally go to sleep after watching Pee Wee's Playhouse on Sunday morning. You might say I grew up on Pee Wee. It was such a personal treat to have Paul Reubens there for the screening of his big motion picture hit. And it was wonderful to share that personal treat with a few thousand other people having the same personal treat.

It was so nice to have a big LoT turn-out for this one. All the fun of our mega-picnic combined with the cemetery screening that will go down in history!
