An open thread for reports from the final Cinematic Titanic performance at the Kewsick Theater, outside of Phila. As anybody who has been reading my Twitter feed knows, I was going to be there tonight but a sudden illness kept me away. However our buddy Paul “Projected Paul” DerHagopian WAS there tonight and will file a full report later. In the meantime, the comments section is all yours. Take it away commenters!<\/p>\n

But before I do, I just want to extend my thanks to the Titans for years of great performances. Thanks for everything.<\/p>\n

Paul’s report:<\/p>\n

Dave “Gruber” Allen started the pre-show warm up acts with a shadow puppet show. An attempt at singing lip-sync to some Dan Fogelberg version of “Auld Lang Syne” with Mary Jo was intentionally cut short. <\/p>\n

A video plugging Trace’s “Silly Rhymes” book was played.<\/p>\n

Mary Jo read a work-in-progress play of hers with Josh and Gruber.<\/p>\n

Josh performed a song he wrote for the Burbank Airport PA system while Trace and Mary Jo interrupted the flow with typical airport PA announcements.<\/p>\n

Frank did some stand-up. He announced that he will be attending a number of fan conventions in the future.<\/p>\n

Joel did a Q&A with the audience. When asked what he’ll be doing in the future, he noted his voice work on Cartoon Network (he does the voice of Mayor Bill Dewey on a CN series called \u201cSteven Universe”).<\/p>\n

Then “The Wasp Woman” started. New topical references and jokes were made, such as the Wasp Woman’s dead body at the end now being newly-elected New York Mayor Bill de Blasio’s problem now.<\/p>\n

An intermission followed. When the show resumed, a new video by Trace titled “Frank” was played. It featured Frank as a Frankenstein-like monster brought back to life. The Titans were in the video, and even Bill Corbett made an appearance.<\/p>\n

Then “The Doll Squad” started. Current and topical jokes and references were made about George Zimmerman and the Healthcare.gov website problems.<\/p>\n

After the 2nd feature ended, the Titans and Dave Allen gave a toast on stage, bidding farewell to their 5-year tour. This was at about 12:10AM.<\/p>\n

A meet and greet with fans to get autographs followed, with a very long line and wait. <\/p>\n

Happy New Year!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
