Fantastic footage GD. I really wish I'd been able to come down for it. I have so many good memories of Pee-Wee.

Here's one:
I was a teenager - working in NYC, but was living at my parent's house in NJ. One early evening, I was walking around uptown and got caught in a torrential downpour. Seeking sanctuary from the rain, I jumped into a comedy club. The club was set up in such a way that the bar was accessible from the street, and the dining room with the stage was just beyond it. The two rooms were separated by a plexiglass window, so you could watch what was going on and hear it through a tinny speaker, but you could only go into the dining room if you made dinner reservations. The comedian on stage that week was Pee-Wee Herman (the only time I'd seen the character was on an HBO special). I was absolutely floored by his weirdness - and when I got home to NJ later that night, I insisted that my parents make dinner reservations to see this psycho. A couple of nights later, Mom, Dad and I sat down at our table just a few feet from the stage and were treated to a full set of Pee-Wee's standup act. Pure genius. It is a memory I will treasure always.

I wonder who'll show up at the Psycho screening? Mrs. Bates, perhaps?
