MST Alert!

Hey, fans of Mystery Science Theatre 3000. Do you have a hankering once again to hear the comic musings of Mike, Crow and Tom Servo? You can catch them at 8 tonight at the Virginia Center Commons in a special closed-circuit show, making wild but not unerudite fun at a host of worthy Christmastime short subjects throughout the years.

It's a two-hour show, with a special price of $12.50. And it won't exactly be the old MST set-up -- there are intellectual property rules about such things. But it will be the guys themselves (apparently unseen) along with guest Weird Al Yankovic (also unseen) making their giddy comments about cinematic silliness.

And if you, like me, would rather see Joel than Mike, then you're screwed.
