This Saturday should be very interesting...Jim and Joel Hodgson (of MST3K fame) are re-viving their party/performance art/music-thing, Superball 8 . What makes it interesting is that it's at the place I work: we're donating the space.

This whole week they've been building stuff and I got the nickel tour yesterday. Should be a lot of fun-- certainlyt interesting. Atomic Reactor ping-pong*...live canine spay/neuter operations**...art***...music****...plus a supercool souvenir ring!

It's an open-kind of event, though they're not advertising it (word of mouth). You can buy a ring/admission on the website (moneybag). Not for the mundane at heart, though.

*I have no idea what this is
**by a guy who does 7,000 (or was it 70,000?) operations at low/no cost in low-income areas around L.A.
***probably odd
****eclectic, goofy and very Hodgson Bros.; one of the DJs helped design/program Guitar Hero.

Holy crap! That's where Yippee met Weird Al!

The site says they're sold out of rings...but one can still get in with a $25 donation. Basically when I went years and years ago, Joel and Jim had their friends doing different types of entertainment, and they'd asked me to bring Yippee. Surreal stuff!

Hope it's a blast! I'll be home this weekend, nose buried in a particular record-breaking book.

Oh, damn damn damn damn!! I wish I'd known about this earlier ... I haven't seen or talked to Joel and Jim for years, I'd love to be able to drop in and say hello ....

Damn!

So...hop into your car and drive down! Many of the people who'd normally go-- you, Jimmy, Tracy, etc. have moved out of area. Bummer!

Tempting, so very tempting! But I have a bunch of freelance I need to get done before I head down to San Diego on Tuesday ... 10 hours driving time round trip alone would take a big chunk out of that.

But, I'll consider until Saturday ......
