That's right folks, it's the moment we've suffered through several times before separately, now condensed into one night of pain! Come on out and bring your rack of ribs and extra BBQ sauce, cause Joe Don Baker is coming to dinner and he's HUNGRY!
At 7pm PDT/SLT it's Mitchell! Joe Don Baker's finest work since, well, our 8:30pm PDT/SLT feature which is Final Justice!
So come on out and remember, this is all Bawo's fault for saying he's never seen Mitchell. :P

Rifftrax News
Lots of news from the Rifftrax crew. First, available now for purchase and download is Lord of the Rings, The Two Towers. Additionally, there is another episode of Star Trek The New Voyages fan made series, with Bill and Kevin riffing alone. Then there is a remake of a movie called 'House of Wax' starring Paris Hilton and riffed by a British comedy writer, one Matthew J. Elliott.
Lastly, coming soon is Bill Corbett and Mary Jo Pehl (Crow and Pearl, respectively), riffing the (soon to be) first X-Files feature film.
Extra bonus for those who live in or near San Diego, Mike, Kevin and Bill will be riffing Ed Wood's classic 'Plan 9 From Outer Space' live on July 26th at SD's famous Balboa theater (named after Rocky, no doubt.. he was from San Diego, right? :P).
Anyway, check out the Rifftrax website for more info!

Not one, not two...
But THREE new Cinematic Titanic episodes have been filmed, according to a new email I received from Joel and the crew!
I believe one of these episodes to be Roger Corman's 'The Wasp Woman' since they riffed that one in Dallas recently.
Keep an eye out for the preview and new episodes! :)

The State of the SOL
Friends, MSTies, Fellow AVs, lend me your ears.
Why thank you, these sculpty ears are very realistic.
So, where do we stand as a theater?
First of all, we are 644 strong as a group (666 if you look in the group search results). That makes us one of the larger groups in SL, though by no means the largest.
We have 151 episodes in the player at the moment, with several more additions pending. Wikipedia lists 198 total so we're closing in on the whole set.
So why are some pending? Simply put, we're out of room.
For quite a while now our streaming server and bandwidth has come courtesy of SLCN.tv, the Second Life Cable Network. Frankly if you're got a viewer, you should get down to the host segment end of the SOL and pick up a free SLCN screen. Wiz Nordberg and Texas Timtam have provided all of us a great service, but we've exhausted the space available on their server, and so we go out to search for a land of our own.
Just as the space issue began to make itself known, I attended a conference hosted by Sun Microsystems (an enterprise computer systems manufacturer). While attending a reception hosted by Sun, I won the door prize: a shiny new server! What luck, right when we need a server one is bestowed upon us by the riffing gods!
Now as a door prize, we have to maintain pretty low hopes for it to have all the bells and whistles, so I put the call out to all of you to help with the costs of upgrading the machine's components, namely the hard-drives and memory (we were lucky and Sun says the server has the best available processor). You all came through swimmingly, donating over 55,000 Lindens so far, worth roughly $200 US. I've used the revenue generated by my Tube-O-Rama venture to make up the rest of the needed funds and we've bought around $800 worth of parts so that the server will have 8Gb of RAM, 1Tb of redundant RAID-1 storage and a dual-core Opteron at 2.8 ghz. That all works out to a metric buttload of awesome server capable of handling all the episodes for some time to come.
So what's next? Well, the RAM has arrived, but I'm waiting on the shipment of hard-drives. I expect them this week. I then have to send our upgrade parts to the company that will be hosting our server and arrange for Sun to ship the server to them. The hosting company will then install our upgrade parts, install our server and let me know it's all ready to go. I will then go through the process of building the software that makes everything work, load all the episodes over to the new server, and change the video player to start using the new server.
Hosting is going to cost around $100 a month US, but so far the fundraiser posters and my Tube-O-Rama sales have left me confident that going forward we'll be able to cover the costs without worry.
While I have you I would like to make sure we thank the following people:
Myriad Qunhua - The Hostess With the Mostess.
Razzap Snookums - Provider of the land the SOL rests on.
Kenbro Utu - Builder of much of the SOL.
Dallas Flimflam - Builder of much of the SOL.
Zack Hodgson - Builder of the SOL hallway.
And of course Wiz and Texas for a whole lotta support along the way.
And you, you've been there attending the events, donating to the posters, making this all worthwhile. I hope you keep coming to the Friday events and maybe try a Saturday event on for size, keep inviting your friends out, and keep tossing a little Linden love our way.
TTFN,
Squeebee Wakawaka

Amazing Colossal Vacation Friday!
As Squee mentioned in a notice to the group, I will be away for most of the weekend due to unforeseen circumstances. However, I *may* be able to come by Friday evening (if I have wireless internet available and if I can get it to work, that is). I'll send an announcement Friday evening before the usual time if things can be worked out.
If I can make it, we'll be watching The Amazing Colossal Man at 7pm PDT/SLT and War of the Colossal Beast at 8:30pm PDT/SLT!
If not, feel free to dismember each other Highlander style, with the winner picking the movies to watch that evening! I'll be back next week! :)

Flying Mole Friday!
This week, we visit two strange and wonderful worlds. The world of moles and big honkin' jets.
You guessed it (you did, right?), at 7pm PDT/SLT it's San Francisco International, with more references to Airplane than you can shake a stick at, and a more naked Dr. Forrester you will never find. Then at 8:30pm PDT/SLT it's The Mole People, which is some movie about mole people, I suppose. :P
Surely, you won't forget to come out tomorrow evening! (Not that I'm calling you Shirley!) :)
