“An Evening with Joel Hodgson” aka “How to Have a Job Like Mine” aka “Riffing Myself”…:
* … comes to the Trocadero in Philadelphia Sunday, Jan. 27, at 4 p.m. * … comes to the Scranton Cultural Center, Saturday, Feb. 9, at 7 p.m. (VIP meet-and-greet 6 p.m.). I will be taking part in this event in some small way. Looking forward to meeting some NEPA MSTies! * … comes to the Seattle‘s SIFF Film Center (but it’s not on their calendar yet and tickets aren’t yet available). Also, “Joel Hodgson’s Movie Riff Camp (limit: 30 students)” whatever that is. More dates when we get them. Here’s an open thread for reports from Joel’s “Riffing Myself” shows this weekend in Austin and Dallas. (Also, if you were at his show in Chicago last week, we’ll be glad to hear from you, too.)
Alert poster Smirkboy suggested:
I remember that at one point the clueless suits at Comedy Central had suggested that the show switch to TV shows rather than movies (probably because they hated that 2-hour time slot). BBI rejected the idea, but what if they hadn’t? What TV show(s) would have been perfect for our experiments? I would definitely nominate any of the latter seasons of of ’60s-’70s westerns “Bonanza,” “Gunsmoke” “The High Chaparral,” stuff like that. Dreadful stuff. Your pick? Iris Zubair of DMagazine.com interviews Joel ahead of his appearance this weekend in Dallas. (Get tickets here.)
We don’t normally post people’s eBay auctions, but this is for a good cause. Reader Hannah is offering a “Riffing Myself” poster, signed by Joel, with 100% of the proceeds going to the American Diabetes Association. Find out more here.
Update: The bidding has ended and the poster sold for $130.01. |
