Well, OK, let’s have some official information about out new RiffTrax Live show!!!!!
Q: When?
A: Wednesday, 12/16 and an encore (rebroadcast) on Thursday 12/17 at 8:00pmET / 7:00pmCT / 6:00pmMT and 8:00pmPT (tape delay)
Q: Where?
A: Close to 500 movie theaters across the country. Find out your nearest theater and buy tickets by entering your zip code here
Q: Where is it being broadcast from?
A: The California Center for the Arts in Escondido. Escondido is a few miles up the highway from RiffTrax HQ in San Diego, and is among other things, the home of the Stone Brewery where we show movies during the summer. It’s a great theater
Q: When do tickets go on sale for that show?
A: Sometime next week. Follow us on twitter for the up to date announcements about it: http://twitter.com/rifftrax
Q: We don’t want to use twitter because ________
A: It’s the best way to get this info. We’ll try to post here, but no guarantees.
Q: Weird Al!?!?!
A: We know! It’s going to be awesome. He’s guest riffing with us for the first time since Jurassic Park!!!
Q: What’s the program consist of ?
A: Shorts! Lots of them. And the vast majority of them are brand new! Most of them are completely bizarre things you’ve never seen before.
Q: Why is The Onion’s logo on the email?
A: Because they are sponsoring our show. Awesome, right?
Q: Why isn’t the show at my theater?
A: This is not our decision nor is it something we have control over. Please contact your local theater and ask them if they’re capable of showing Fathom Events. A few people were able to get theaters to add our last show just by reaching out to their theater managers.
Q: Why is this not available outside the US?
A: Again, not our decision, that’s just how the Fathom system works as of now.
Q: Why isn’t this LIVE on the west coast?
A: Because that would be at five PM and not many people would be able to make it.
Q: Do we need to buy tickets in advance?
A: Why not? Plenty of theaters sold out last time, why risk it?
Any other questions? Let us know!

Does it make me pathetic if I want to go to the live show, then pay to see it again the next night?

Absolutely not, Alan!

I’d have done the same thing, but the hotel cost would propably be a bit excessie. nstead I’ll just be making a 3 hour trek across the border (in both directions) to Syracuse. Luckily it’s during a hole in my exam schedule.

It’s great that I found a theater close to me in NJ that will be showing this! If I had to, I’d drive over to Philly….or fly out to San Diego.

You need to have Fathom Events; website checked for addresses to theaters and listing of theaters. I went to the Encore, following their directions, and wound up in a small town that didn’t even have a stoplight, much less a movie theater. It’s the listing for Hollywood Theaters, Morgantown, WV. It says it’s in Granville, which is incorrect. Thanks!

Thanks Beth, we’ll talk to NCM and ask them to verify that listing.

Yes, a third encore would be extremely helpful.
After a wave of bankruptcies and consolidations, there is no longer a cinema multiplex near my home.
I might find it necessary to build one in my backyard.

I’ll be there with bells on! Also, drunk and nude!

I’m not crazy about Al riffing (Kevin, Bill and Mike are *plenty*, unless Al is going to fill in only on one short) but my wife and I will be there. I do hope that some of these shorts will be available afterwards, though (that’s one of the nice things about the last show — I feel I can at least recreate some of the experience again by watching the videos).

Gee, I wonder if I can use the tickets from the last live show that I never got to see?

Whoo-hooo! One of my colleagues didn’t get to go last time and he’s been all mopey ever since. (Especially since the two of us that did go spent the next three weeks rubbing it in his face by ranting on and on about how great it was.) I printed out the email and left it on his desk with a note: WANNA GO?! He’ll be over the moon when I tell him I already bought his ticket. (Hey, one less Christmas present I have to come up with…)

Oh, and the lady I went with last time is one of Weird Al’s biggest fans. I’m so stoked he’s gonna be there!

Trying to get a good sized group to the “Center for the Arts” live show. One question; If we are not named Art, do we have to get fake IDs bearing that name?

damn. I cannot order the 1st date of tickets of the theater nearest to us. WHY! 2nd one uses fandango and that is okay. HRM!
