Update 4:45PM 12-21-2008 From Dan of Grindhouse: The Hollywood Theatre has closed today, so the screening tonight is canceled. It's out of my hands.  I'll be trying to reschedule for another day later this week. People who bought advance tickets, you will be refunded through the theater.  If you have any problems, just let me know.

UPDATE: 12AM totally touched them

Snowpocalypse update 12-20: The Bridgetown Comedy show is now at Mt Tabor Legacy and is Free! It is now 9:15 and Tig and Natasha are here but is has not begun. Small intimate room–this will be good. I am going to try and touch them.

A large group of what seemed like karaoke conscientious objectors had taken over the middle tables. They neither sang nor clapped.

(Update: Will is at Chopsticks tomorrow, Sunday, 12-21. Stop By. Say Hi. Sing. Make Out.)

But around 9:30 or so, my fears about the weather (zomg Snowgasm!) were dispelled. The real crowd trickled in and we got down to some serious business. Soon, full-on dance floor action broke out. Once the dance is out of the box at Chopsticks, it stays out.
