The one action movie not referenced…

Another vote for a reschedule
That conflicts with the Neo-Futurists' "film fest" series, which is happening just a few blocks from W&CF (but at the same time). That evening will see a staged reading of the script to Frank Henenlotter's "Brain Damage" from 1988, so I wouldn't be surprised if Nabin decides to skip out…

Oh, for f…
Can the Riptide movie be far behind?

BOING ! ! ! !

The following year, they canceled the kids' hour. This was presumably because the expo is a more businesslike affair than…

Mr. Show nitpickery
You meant Kedzie Matthews instead of Blueberryhead. Dane Cook overpowers me so much that I can't even think of a clever way to deliver that information.

Favorite part: Creed asking Jim "Wanna play a game?" Because I was totally expecting a game with Creed to involve a dagger, narcotics, or a severed head.
