I’m really looking forward to visiting S.F. for our live riff of PLAN NINE FROM OUTER SPACE tomorrow night.
- MAGNETO (not Cerebro) sez: Come to San Francisky!
What a great town! Can’t wait to try one of the city’s signature cheesesteaks, go up in the Space Needle, and visit the Corn Palace.
The Castro Theatre, where we’ll be doing our little skit, is roughly three-four times the capacity of the houses we’ve riffed before. So if I freeze up with stage fright, will someone kindly throw an orange at my head? That usually snaps me out of it. (Tangerines OK too. Grapefruit? A bit much.)
Join us if you can. A good time will be had by very few some many most 99.9% all!!
(Editor’s note: please do not throw any citrus whatsoever at Mr. Corbett while he performs. However, what you do in your off hours is your business.)

*pout*
I wish you would come to Boise…

I’m banking on a “Bringing it all Back Home” type tour. Return to the frozen north! Minnesota is desparately low on riff. In fact, we in somewhat of a riffcession at the moment.
The people demand riff!

Fran? Do you use a mac?
4 Mario "Asteroid" Panighetti on Jan 16, 2008 at 10:11 am
My bags are packed, I’m ready to go! See you in San Franny!
5 Fran in the Pan on Jan 16, 2008 at 10:27 am
Why? Are you making fun of my missing “are”? And am I supposed to interpret that as a dig on mac users’ grammar?
And to answer your question – no, I do not.
6 devin on Jan 16, 2008 at 10:31 am
I’ll be there! Camping outside the theater overnight! Or, you know, after I get out of work and make my way over there a half hour before the show.
7 Dallas on Jan 16, 2008 at 10:46 am
I’m coming too. We’re out of oranges though. Okay if I substitute durian?
8 Tim on Jan 16, 2008 at 10:54 am
Castro Theater. Hm…this virtually guarantees you guys will be wearing military fatigues, fake beards and smoking cigars, right, Bill?
9 captian phil on Jan 16, 2008 at 11:11 am
hey you guys mind picking me up on he way there i live on the way there from san diego (winchester ca) ((by hemet)) (((by palm springs)))
10 "Digits" on Jan 16, 2008 at 11:24 am
No, I totally missed the “are”
Have an ex boyfriend who kind of virtually stalks me. Doesn’t know where my new blog is (yet). So mac user in MN visits my blog, I think its him. You mentioned MN, so I was just curious.
11 LemSlaw on Jan 16, 2008 at 11:53 am
Hmmm, the Castro theater is within walking distance. I guess I should go.
12 Sid Dithers on Jan 16, 2008 at 12:02 pm
San Francisky? How should we came, should we drove or should we flew?
13 SaucyRossy on Jan 16, 2008 at 12:50 pm
Good luck guys! Hope you break a leg or two. Of those stinky liberals I mean. What? Bill O’Reilly would agree with me.
14 Walter on Jan 16, 2008 at 12:51 pm
You should come to Ruston, LA. I mean we have so much cool stuff…like….um……..
15 Virginia Corbett on Jan 16, 2008 at 1:47 pm
Woo Hoo! 34 hours away from the kids and one whole uninterrupted night of sleep – PLUS a live show with some of our favorite people and my favorite husband? What a date! See ya there!
16 Eddie Colton on Jan 16, 2008 at 2:51 pm
The Castro? Isn’t that a gay nightclub?
17 Neb on Jan 16, 2008 at 3:23 pm
Harumph. If you *were* coming to the city with the Space Needle, which you are *not* (harumph again), I would so be there, with or without fruit.
Seattle, guys. Sci-fi Museum! Flying fish! C’mon!
Bring the wife! Let’s do dinner (or supper or whatever they’re calling the evening meal these days).
I live a mere boat ride from the City of Starbucks and would totally brave the stormy seas to see you all do your thing live.
Break a leg in SF!
18 Ninjew on Jan 16, 2008 at 4:23 pm
You guys have to make a trip out east. It sucks without having live movie riffing in the garden stage.
New Jersey is intolerable enough as it is.
Or is that incontinent?
Well, parts of New Jersey smell like its incontinent.
Anyway, you guys need to make a trip out to the east coast and do this live.

Riffing on Dudley Manlove in San Francisco feels right. Who’ll be wearing the angora sweater?
20 Dallas on Jan 16, 2008 at 5:15 pm
By the way, for those who are coming, I’d like to point out that San Francisco is having it’s annual Dine About Town Event (http://www.onlyinsanfrancisco.com/dineabouttown/), where restaurants that are much to nice for you offer special deals that even the plebiscite can afford. It is, as the lady said, a good thing.
21 wakachiwaka on Jan 16, 2008 at 5:51 pm
Sure to be an even bigger success than last year’s “Swan About Town” event!
22 wakachiwaka on Jan 16, 2008 at 6:03 pm
True story: During a visit to Malaysia a few years back, I and my 2 traveling buddies stayed with some friends of his in their home. One night the 3 of us were out to the local hocker center with some other acquaintences. When we returned, I was the first one to reach the front gate, which sat just over a car’s length from the front entrance. At that spot I took a whiff of the air and smelled that familiar odor (sort of a cross between a bad gas leak, and that frozen chicken that someone let thaw just a little too long) and said, “Hey guys, I think we’re having durian for dessert.”
Sure enough, our hosts had gone out and bought a couple durian – They had stashed it away in the refrigerator AT THE VERY BACK OF THE HOUSE, hoping to surprise us with it, and had no idea whatsoever that the telltale odor would give the game away.
Man, that stuff stinks! Gives me gas, too.
23 Walter on Jan 16, 2008 at 7:14 pm
You are thinking of The Castrado-a fetish, gay nightclub.
24 Dallas on Jan 16, 2008 at 7:41 pm
In San Francisco? That’s every night, honey.
25 MSTJedi on Jan 16, 2008 at 8:30 pm
Feel Free to head south, guys. Like, say . . . I don’t know, Dallas, TX is a pretty central spot. That and I live there, so it’d be really great on my end.
26 Rufus T. on Jan 17, 2008 at 7:40 am
Break a leg Bill. (that’s theatre language for those of you that are wondering why I wish Bill bodily harm)
27 Nikolas T. on Jan 17, 2008 at 2:22 pm
My wife and I have colds but WE’RE GOING TO BE THERE ANYWAY!! We bought our tickets over a week ago and besides, we would never miss an opportunity like this. You’d pretty much have to cane me to keep me from going. I promise we will keep our sniffles to a minimum. See you there! Sign my breasts!
28 John H. on Jan 17, 2008 at 2:54 pm
Good job on attending Nikolas T! That way, all the guys there will catch your cold and gain immunity to the super-virus that will soon decimate human-kind!
29 Kerrigan on Jan 17, 2008 at 3:22 pm
Hey! We only allow extra-squeaky-clean and sweet-smelling liberals in our lovely city, thank you very much!
30 Lobo the Third on Jan 19, 2008 at 1:49 am
I was at the Castro Last night…oh my god were you guys hilarious. I mean, I knew I was in for a treat but I never thought that I would laugh as hard as I did. I think I was actually screaming at one point durring a gag about Tor Johnson’s neck folds. Best 25 bucks I’ve ever spent.
31 Brian O. on Jan 19, 2008 at 4:38 am
Dangit, wish I could afford to have gone down there, ahwell, maybe next time.
32 J.D. on Jan 19, 2008 at 9:04 am
Oh man, that was so much fun. I flew in from Colorado that morning, went to a couple meetings, got a haircut (the timing just kinda worked out that way), ate some raw fish, and somehow managed to stay awake for most of the jokes…it was great.
It was also weirdly emotional…you’ve all been voices inside my head since MST3K was on Comedy Central…and there you were in person! Freaky!
I mean, seriously, there is a sizable hunk of my brain that is entirely dedicated to your quips (right next to the part which stores the lyrics to all the 80s pop songs I hate.) When I’m old and senile, those quips will probably be the only part of my mind that still functions. Aah, Mitchell.
33 Dallas on Jan 19, 2008 at 5:39 pm
Agreed; it was terrific! That bit with the can of gasoline and the ball and the string totally ruined my eyeliner. Only one problem: I was late coming in, due to a long line at the ladies’ room due to an overflowing toilet; any chance you could repeat what the first eight plans were?
34 Brian O. on Jan 19, 2008 at 11:57 pm
Didn’t the first three involve collecting underpants?
35 LemSlaw on Jan 20, 2008 at 9:47 am
Plans 5, 6, and 7 involved stealing underwear Plan 8 was bringing dead ferrets back to life, but since dead ferrets are better behaved then live ones…
