Woohoo! The Cinematic Titanic live tour is coming to town!

If you don’t know, [Cinematic Titanic](http://www.cinematictitanic.com/) is the project involving just about all the Best Brains crew that aren’t involved in Rifftrax. Joel Hodgson, Trace Beaulieu, Frank Conniff, Mary Jo Pehl and J. Elvis Weinstein – all performing in a MST3K-esque silhouette style.

They’ll be heading to the Trocadero in Philly on Friday, June 12th and Saturday, June 13th. I’ll be there for one of the showings – anyone interested in making an event of it?

Different films are being shown each night. On Friday it’ll be the Kung-Fu/Blaxploitation combo _East Meets Watts_ (aka [_Dynamite Brothers_](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0132933/)), and on Saturday they’ll be riffing _Danger on Tiki Island_ (aka [_Brides of Blood_](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0062758/)).

So…anyone have a preference on which show? From reviews I’ve read, they’re both very good, with the Friday show getting a slight edge in bringing the funny. Saturdays work slightly better for me, but Friday isn’t out of the question. Don’t ask me yet what time the show is – I can’t seem to find that bit of info anywhere…on a guess, I’d say 7 or 8 pm.

Also, don’t ask me how much it is – tickets aren’t on sale yet (presale begins on May 11th). However, in checking ticket prices for other venues where they’re appearing, I’m finding they range from the mid-$30 area to the high-$40’s.

So…anyone up for this?
