After all this time I finally got to meet almost the entire original cast of MST3K in person. It was a pity J. elvis couldn't make the show. However, the cast made up for it more than expected (we got an extra hour of show).
Mary Jo, Frank, and Gruber all did standup while we waited for the actual show to start. Trace aired a one-shot movie he'd made with everyone called "The Frank" mixing the themes of Monster Mash with Time Warp.
The issue I had with the theatre was quite simple: even with my skinny @$$, the seats were too small, hard, and close together. It was like paying $80 to join in a group cuddle.
The meet-and-greet afterwards allowed me the chance to see a showcase of other MSTies and their offerings, and got my episode guide signed.
Now to hit up a RiffTrax show to get the rest of them.
Bring a cushion, drink your booze before you go (EXPENSIVE!), and take your anti-claustrophobia meds. Otherwise, IT WAS A BLAST!
