Last night, Alex and I went to a very special showing of Rifftrax live: Plan 9 from Outer Space. If you've never seen Mystery Science Theater 3000 or listened to Rifftrax, it's totally worth checking out.
The live event is a new thing that many theaters are doing. It was the first one we have been to, but as regular movie goers, we have seen many previews for live symphonies, operas, concerts, and even, not live, but classic movies on the big screen. Basically, they create these special one time only showings. Feed the information live to roughly 500 movie theaters across the country and then bring in the money.
We were in a totally packed theater full of Rifftrax-loving geeks. It was great. The show started off with a terrible MC, featured a classic 1950s short, live music, crazy commercials, and finally the feature: Plan 9 from Outer Space.
Anyway, the whole point is that we laughed and laughed. Laughter takes away a lot of your problems and concerns. It was really nice.
Today is my short day at work and Alex and I are going to attempt to paint our kitchen today, and this weekend. He's torn off all the wallpaper, and I scrubbed down the walls. They are taped and my goal is for him to get a coat of primer on while I'm at work. I figure I can work and head to the gym, and then we'll get busy and get at least one coat on the top part of the room. I'm hoping that we can even get a second done tonight!
