• She is now contributing to the Minnesota Film and TV Board’s group blog. • Next weekend she’ll be performing with the Violet Crown Radio Players, a group in Austin that recreates old-time radio shows. The performances will be Thursday, Feb. 28, and Friday, Feb. 29, at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday, March 1, at 2:30 and 7:30 p.m. at the Austin First Cumberland Presbyterian Church Hall, 6800 Woodrow Ave. Click here for more information. This is the sort of thing I would do if I wasn’t so busy…and so lazy: A guy named Andrew COUNTED EVERY RIFF IN EVERY EPISODE. He also timed every episode. The result: a boggling statistic: riffs per minute. Oh, and here’s a ton of data. This statistic is, admittedly, ultimately meaningless: more riffs doesn’t necessarily mean better. But still, I love the fact that somebody spent time dissecting the episodes like this. It’s definitely heading for Ward E. Andrew, we salute you! Excelsior!  Click on the graphic to order it. Joel Hodgson and Josh Weinstein (in his first-ever convention appearance) were the surprise guests at Gallifrey 2008, a convention dedicated to “Doctor Who,” and to a lesser extent other sci-fi, in Los Angeles last weekend. “We had hoped to make a big announcement but we were unable to confirm it by press time, so we had to make it a big surprise,” says Shaun Lyon, one of the organizers. “The panel they both participated on was a ’20th anniversary MST3K panel’, which was packed to capacity. Both then signed autographs in the dealers room and sold copies of ‘Cinematic Titanic.’ They wanted to show it, too, but sadly we were so full on programming we just didn’t have the room for it!” Was anybody at the panel? Share! Update: Scott Armstrong, the moderator of the panel and the person responsible for bringing Joel and Josh to Gallifrey, gives us the following report:
