Rifftrax Live
August 25th, 2009
While other people were busy making our comic for us, Chris and I and superstar LBFA comment-ers April Steele and OtherJoel saw the Rifftrax Live! show at the Belcourt in Nashville, TN last Thursday.
I think we were right in front of the cameras so we’re probably making asses of ourselves on the forthcoming DVD release, but it was fun nonetheless.
We met Mike Nelson! Here he is pretending to talk to us.
I kicked it with Lowtax of somethingawful.com. His eyes are permanently sewn shut like some kind of corpse experiment.
Chris finagled a script page from Mike Nelson’s wife, Bridget Jones. He also creepily kept a wrapper from her Snicker’s bar.
Thanks for reading my livejournal.
mood: depressed 
music: drowning pool

Wait, I think I saw you guys! Were you the 2 girls they kept cutting to during Jonathan Coulton who were singing to each other?

Well, it’s good to finally see you! I hope you had a blast. It looks like you did. I hope to make your schedule soon. I want my Squidbillies damn it! I also have the first comic you ever did. You’ve come a long way since then! You make me proud.

That was far and away the hardest I’ve ever laughed in a movie theater.
It was great from beginning to end and Curt isn’t kidding about the cameraman who was about three feet away aiming right at us during the Zombie Sing-a-Long.
(This place served alcohol before the show, so whatever)

Todd- Where did you see it?
I stood in line next to those two girls from the front row for an hour.
They spent the whole time talking at high-speed about TF2 and some other MMO I’d never heard of. (e.g. “Pallys are nerfed”)
We sat in the row behind them.
Apparently, they got huge laughs in a lot of other theaters.

I’m gonna need someone to invent time travel so I can go back to a few weeks ago and work on my Curt and/or Chris impersonation skills so that I can murder one of you and pretend to be you so that I can go to Rifftrax Live and meet Mike Nelson so that he can pretend to talk to me.
Can someone get on that. Please?

Lindsey – If you get that sorted, please wait until I’ve gotten Curt to change his will before you kill him. Or you could just keep up with us better on Twitter or in real life and go to things like this with us. We are totally friendly.

Chris, that’s a good plan, except the newspaper keeps me chained up in the basement and I’m never allowed to leave, ever. This has hampered not only my social development, but my ability to produce a workable time machine.

Joel – I saw it in Pleasant Hill (SF bay area). I’ve got no problem with people singing along at a concert but they way they were singing TO each other? Creep out city.
