I am. I'll be the scruffy guy in the theater there. However,
due to a serious diet and exercise program this year, I will not be
doughy, and I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

There were some good lines in this Christmas Shorts show (for
instance, "Pork is made of *people*!" -Mike), but there were enough
"eh" moments to dampen the enjoyment for me. Somehow, they avoided
this in the "Plan Nine from Outer Space" show. Even the "Fort Worth"
callback seemed a bit halfhearted.
Overall, I would say that it's worth it for an MST3K fan, and you'll
probably laugh now and then, but there will be uncomfortable stretches
(IMHO, YMMV).

I'm actually writing a script, but I won't be performing. I'm planning to
send it for Mike, Kevin and Bill to perform.

My theater had technical difficulties. First the audio ran but with
choppy video, then it was starting and pausing throughout the first
short -- it took at least half an hour to get through the first short.
Then it ran fine for over an hour until the video went black during
the swimming short, then we lost it altogether. We got refunds.
Too bad, I was laughing throughout the whole thing. The ex-Brains had
me laughing throughout, and the best part was Kevin as the small, no-
account tree getting chopped down. Frankly, though, there was no need
for Weird Al to be there -- he just did one short, and I couldn't
differentiate him from the others during the riffing. It's cool that
he was there, but he was underused especially without doing a song.
