Various lowlifes are constantly looking for large amounts of unguarded metal to take to scrap dealers to get cash (often to buy drugs). When they happened on the metal frame of the giant spider from “Giant Spider Invasion,” dollar signs probably appeared in their eyes.
Kevin is slated to appear at Salt Lake Comic Thursday through Saturday, Sept. 5-7 at the Salt Palace Convention Center in Salt Lake City. He will not be part of any panels, as far as we can tell, but will be signing autographs and posing for photos all three days at the Big Finish Games booth, booth 408. (Big Finish Games is the new company for the “Tex Murphy” series of video games–say, is Kevin related to Tex?)
If you’re attending Dragon*Con in Atlanta this month, you might want to be on the lookout for the following MST3K-related events: Night of the Colossal Mystery Science Theater 3000 25th Anniversary Festival-A Go-Go! Bill Corbett will also be participating in several panels: Bill Corbett, Unlicensed Life Coach Talking RiffTax with Bill Corbett FRED Entertainment Panel-PaloozaExtrava-Thingee-a-Doodle How to Do Comedy Wrong the Right Way Gonzoroo II Bill Corbett’s Super-Powered Revenge Christmas: A New Graphic Novel Gonzo Quiz Show IV: The Quest for Quiz Alert reader Brandon writes:
I would say promotions based on the MSTed movies are also in bounds, such as maybe a guest appearance of the pickle monster from “It Conquered the World,” who would do battle against the regular mascot. What would bring YOU to the ballpark? (Let’s assume this is a minor league team, where almost anything goes.) Frank’s job at John Fugelsang’s show went away when Current TV was replaced by Al-Jazeera America. He has landed at “Totally Biased with Kamau Bell” which will debut on the new FXX network Sept. 4.
Obviously, a show called “Totally Biased” is a bit politically charged, so comments have been closed for this entry. Feel free to post on the show’s Facebook page or follow it on Twitter. |
