from Cinematic Titanic:
Hi Everyone,
Hope you’ve had a great summer. We here at CT have had a light touring schedule as we’re all very pale and prone to sunburn, but we had great sold-out shows in Ann Arbor and San Fransisco as well as a trip to PIXAR studios (a really neat place) to perform for their employees. Now as autumn approaches, our thoughts once again turn to the open road.

Some Big Name Praise
Richard Corliss of Time Magazine wrote a great piece on the state of the MST3K universe today on Time.com. A CT-related excerpt:
“All the CT efforts would reside comfortably on the medium-high to off-the-charts scale of old MST3K episodes. But since CT is essentially a traveling show, the DVDs you really must see are the ones recorded live from their concert work, where the five riffers are perched on either side of the screen showing the movie. The vibe is alive, as the audience performs a peculiar release-and-choke maneuver, exploding with laughter at one gag and instantly stifling itself to hear the next one.”
If you haven’t checked out our live DVDs yet, please visit our STORE and get yourself up to speed.
Dragon Con
We’re off to Dragon Con in Atlanta over this Labor Day weekend. We’ll be doing plenty of MST and CT-related panels and signings — plus Trace will be unveiling his new book Silly Rhymes for Belligerent Children (available to all soon after the weekend). Please join us if you’re attending the Con.
Thanks for reading this wordy email and all other forms of support!
Best,
The CT Crew
