Mission Mission

Their Kickstarter campaign worked like a charm and tonight we get to see the fruits of their labors. Here’s the schedule of events, straight from Lost Weekend:

Open House 6/29 8-11pm

Friday June 29th, we’re opening the doors to the general public to come in and have a gander at the new space. We’ll be showing off our amazing  audio & video set-up and there’ll be snacks & bevvies to keep everyone happy. Come & check us out!

Opening Night 6/30 7pm!

Our Opening Night event will be a celebration of VHS & video stores from local forgotten film enthusiast Jesse Ficks of ‘Midnites for Maniacs’. Two seatings at 7pm & 9:45pm. Only 25 seats, so get here early!

Places, everyone:

And, ACTION:

And that was it. She walked past the camera with a bag in her hand. They did a couple takes and then packed it all up.

This is what I’ve been wondering about since the project’s announcement. See for yourself — main screen downstairs, four little screens upstairs, no balcony (sad face):

As for the rest of the scene at Thursday night’s community meeting, you got a free bacon-wrapped hot dog for attending, it was fun being inside the dilapidated old place, and it was decently attended:

We got to hear some stories about the old days, when popcorn cost 25¢ and a hot dog cost 75¢ (and I was like, “Big whoop my hot dog tonight was FREE”), and then they spent 20 minutes assuring us this project will be good for the Latino community.

Anyway, I can’t wait to go to the movies on Mission Street!!!!!!!

And it worked, because, look, now we’re all watching it:

Still killer!

I bet it’s way better at the Roxie than it was on PBS. Who even has a TV anymore, right?

Details and tickets here.

It’s called Hit So Hard, and when it premieres this weekend at the Roxie, Schemel and Hole bandmate Eric Erlandson (and the filmmakers) will be on hand to introduce it and and answer questions. And who knows, maybe Courtney will crash the party and turn it into a first-class shitshow! Girl power!

Ticket info here.

Two showings on Wednesday night, two showings on Thursday night. DO NOT MISS THIS. Whether you’re a fan of his music or a fan of AWESOME MOVIES, or both, you will love it.

Advance tickets and more info are available here.

I got a great drunken email from my friend Natalie the other night. The subject line said “ALLAN”:

I KNOW YOU’RE NOT ASLEEP maybe you are.

An early heads-up: next Monday, the Roxie is screening the Monks movie! And it’s part of the still-kicking Save KUSF movement!

Now let’s listen to the Monks!
