    On Saturday night, there is also going to be some sort of musical concert extravaganza that I will be performing in as well as Bill, I believe. I don’t have the details but I know it’s happening.

    I’m a little disappointed there isn’t “Crow vs. Crow II: The Re-Crowening.”

    If any of these does end up as an extra on a Shout Factory release, my guess would be Down In Deep 13 as the most probable

    Frank, since you are reading this apparently, please please please PLEASE talk with Bill about guest riffing on a Rifftrax! I, and every other Rifftrax fan I’m sure, would love you and/or Trace to do a guest riffing. Maybe you can get Bill to guest on Cinematic Titanic in exchange. What do you say?

    Warms my heart to see reps from both RT and CT camps at these events. I agree with Ryan above. Would love to see some cross-over.

    Ryan #8> I’m all for a alumni exchange program being set up as well. Make it a big event like when comic book heroes do a crossover.

    This will be my first time at Dragon Con, and I don’t know how it usually works. I see the guys will be doing some panels, but is there a chance they’ll be at tables doing any signings? I’ve got a MST3K autograph project I’m working on, and this would be a huge help!

    Hmmm, a RT/CT crossover, what could they call that. . .how about Mystery Science Theater 3000? And YES, I would be ALL OVER a crossover!!!!!

    My dream is a live show with all 8 riffers. They could all riff a short (or shorts) together, split into their normal teams and each do a short movie (or something- there are still episodes of The Master unriffed!), and then come back for another 8-way riff-a-thon. I would like this to be a Fathom event, too, so I could afford to see it!

    Or it could revive the vitriol of the old Joel vs. Mike.

    I dunno… I think seeing Joel and Mike sitting together and discussing the show would actually help squelch that old nonsense.

    I wish there was some female Asian performance artist we could accuse of breaking up MST3K, rather than trying to place blame on one of the Brains…

    Narrator: Tonight on Mystery Science Theater: Behind The Laughter:

    Servo: “Alright, somebody has to say it, might as well be me. When Joel first met Yoko, that was the beginning of the end. I knew it, Gypsy knew it, heck, even Crow knew it and he was so wasted those days he wasn’t even facing the right way in the theater half the time.”

    Crow: “It’s true. I was huffing at least three, sometimes four cans of Redi-Whip a day. Ironically, it was Dr. Forrester who organized the intervention. He recognized the signs of a serious addiction after Dr. Erhardt aspirated on his own vomit. Oh, he’d never admit it, but Clayton probably saved my life.”

    Dr. Forrester: “Yes, well, my intentions weren’t quite so pure. I felt responsible for Crow’s problem, in a way. It was Frank who got him the cans in the first place.”

    Narrator: “We’ve tried numerous times to get ahold of TV’s Frank to corroborate these statements but his attorney Mr. Torgo has yet to return our calls. Coming up next: shocking, never-before-seen photo evidence of Michael J. Nelson and Gypsy’s brief yet bitter romantic relationship, and how it nearly tore the satellite apart…”

    Or, we could just be thankful for a solid decade of hilarity and leave it at that.
