What did you do this weekend?
Well, I hung out and took pictures for the Gangrene Comedy Film Festival this weekend. Did you know film festival's have opening acts? Well, this one did. The night started with Chuck Money, an Elvis Evil Kevnil wanna be and then Youtube superstar Gerry Phillips performed. He's a a manualist who plays his hands to songs like Queen’s "Bohemian Rhapsody". What does that have to with film? Nothing, but a lot to with comedy. The directors were welcomed on stage and invited to sledge hammered a car before they sat down with the MC and Gerry to field questions after their film was viewed. After the films were shown, the car was sold for of $9.99 to a group a very satisfied teenager boys (I moved their hats over to the side, not them), Chuck was available for autographs (mine is signed "Flames and Fire, Love Chuck") and a photo booth with Viking costumes was provided
(I did feel a meausre of remorse that I didn't get in).
It was much more than a film festival, it was a laugh-a-rama.
