T(ween) Fest a week from Saturday!!


Join us on Saturday the 27th at Sandy Petersen’s house in Rockwall, TX (right outside Dallas) for the somethingth annual T(ween) Fest. This time we’ll be honoring votes collected at last year’s T-Fest, and the films will feature defenestration, dinosaur, explication of moronic scheme, future date gone by, horrible child actor, killer plant, luchador, mad scientist, martial arts, midget/dwarf, monster vs. monster fight, ninja, octopus/squid, robot, rubber suit monster, space babe, spider, spring-loaded cat, techobabble and transformation scene. Those were the winner from a list of over 120 possible topics.

For what it’s worth, a burst of oddly cheap plane tickets allowed me to set plans to return later this year for T-Fest, although the date haggling was quite intense. I have to take complete responsibility / fault for the fact that this year’s T-Fest–the 8th, I believe, will run on Saturday, November 2nd.

We hope to see you next week, and in November. Details to any of the above can be had by emailing me at ken@jabootu.com.

    Hey, great news! I’l wait until November if it means you can make it down, and I’m sure most would agree.

    Who the hell all voted for “horrible child actor”?? I’d be mad about the lack of votes for “obvious dummy,” which I think was on the list, but I’m hoping “defenestration” will make up for that. Obvious dummies thrown from high places…I cannot get enough of that.

    I’m a bit worried about “giant octopus/squid” considering the track record of said movies. As well as my first exposure to the Barbarian Brothers.

    I will be in Dallas, Mr. Jane in tow, by Friday evening. Can’t wait to see everyone!

  • The Rev.

    Yay Jane! Yay Mr. Jane!

    I’m going to see about showing up early the morning of, so I can actually visit with people a bit before the cinematic pain begins.

  • Hope you all have fun. And one of these days I’ve got to see if I can find DVDs with English translations of those Mexican luchador movies.

  • Mr. Rational

    Can’t wait. Very excited. Just a few more days…
