I had fun at Rifftrax live on Thursday, but it would have been better if the crappy theater in New Rochelle had bothered to turn on the audio for the first several minutes. It finally came on just after the short film began. The other guy who went out to the lobby to complain at the same time I did said the same thing happened at the last Fathom event he attended there, so I think we’ll be avoiding New Roc from now on.

Still, the rest of it was pretty awesome. The crowd seemed surprisingly young, considering that MST3K is 20 years old and hasn’t been on the air in about a decade. And it’s always a kick to experience Plan 9 with an audience that, by and large, hasn’t seen it.
