Rock climbing, Joel.

ebonlockFirst let me say that yesterday's vet visit led to inconclusive results. The first x-ray seemed clear but the second might have meant the cancer had spread so we're going to have to wait until Friday when the vet can consult with a radiologist. I'll let you guys know as soon as I do.
On a happier note,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
aelfsciene and I had the most wonderful time last night at Cinematic Titanic. On the way up to the city I'd turned to her and said, "God I'm going to be breathing the same air as Trace Beaulieu!" I've had a raging crush on the man for so many years now it's not even funny and had worn my Dr. Forrester "I'm Evil!" t-shirt in his honor. So imagine my reaction when we came up the stairs to the theater and he was standing right there! I told Aelf later that it was a good thing she was in front of me at the time because she'd have laughed herself sick at the star struck expression on my face.
Ah but the best moment was Trace seeing me, grinning and saying, "Oh it's so weird to see my face on a t-shirt." We shook hands and introduced ourselves and I babbled something about being so excited to be there then the capacity for coherent speech failed me and I just flailed at him in a giddy manner. He grinned again and flailed back, clearly used to dealing with raging fans. Then Aelf remembered she had a camera and asked if she could get a picture of the two of us. He said we could if we were sneaky about it as they weren't supposed to until after the show. I demurred that we'd wait and purchased one of their DVDs for my friend D- before we headed inside. We had great seats and the theater itself was just the perfect venue. The audience was hyped even before the opening act came out to warm us all up, which they did beautifully.
The movie itself was a little flick called "The Dynamite Brothers", a "Kung-sploitation" extravaganza from the early 70's. Oh yes, we were in for Deep Hurting, and the riffs started fast and furious right out of the gate. It's hard to pinpoint the pinnacle joke of the evening, but for the majority of the audience it came when the older crooked cop was getting it on with his hot young wife and J. Elvis joked, "For those who ever wondered what your father making out with a hooker would look like..." For me it was a smaller moment when one of the lead characters was getting himself out of a cave and Trace gazed across the stage and drawled, "Rock climbing, Joel." Every single MST3K nut in the audience lost our collective shit simultaneously. I really need to track down a copy of their version of "Lost Continent" somewhere to show Aelf.
At any rate I laughed so hard I was in tears and my lungs and sides ached. If they don't release this one on dvd I'll be so depressed because I really want to re-experience it. I'm sure there were a bunch of zingers I missed simply because the audience was laughing so hard at another joke. That was always one of the joys of MST3K, that you could rewind a bit if you missed something.
We hung around afterwards for a bit and met some other MSTies, one actually had a Mitchell t-shirt which made me laugh and laugh. Sadly the crowd was huge and we had a BART train to catch so we took off before we could get very close to the gang but we were both on such a high from the evening that we didn't mind in the slightest.
All I can say is if this show comes anywhere near you go see it, you won't regret it!
UPDATE: Just heard from Eyesdelight who posted her own cool update and pics if you want to see them. They're adorable! She also mentions the invention exchange which I totally forgot about :)
