“You Gotta Watch This!”
Hollywood Theatre's Video Gong Show pits
clips against each other
YouTube enthusiasts, step away from the screen and up to the Holly
wood Theatre box office for what is undoubtedly your show of shows.
Every last Monday o f the month, the audience rules at the Video Gong
Show, when participants submit their favorite viral clips for mass
consumption.
The night works like this: Arrive early— cut-off is 7 p.m., the show
starts at 7:30— and submit your videos, first come first served. Anything
short of porn is fair game, “the more ridiculous, revealing and shameful”
the better. Laughing kitties, silly ditties and all manner of absurdities will
be judged— likely jeered, the clip withstanding crowd scrutiny the lon
gest crowned champion, and its champion the winner of prizes courtesy
o f local eateries Pambiche and ¿Por Qué No?
Think rare, think classic, think Bill Cosby Bukowski performing Jell-
Oems. Seriously. Whatever you do, think of the resounding humiliation
should that mallet meet the gong in untimely fashion. Just because you
can’t get enough of the G.I. Jo e “body massage” PSA doesn’t mean an
audience of your peers will tolerate it. (YouTube it, folks.)
Pretty much any format is welcome— URL link, DVD, Blu-ray, VHS
even. Have the clip title, run time and production credits (when possible)
ready when you sign up in the theater lobby, and keep in mind that there’s
no guarantee your choice video will be screened. W ith lan Karmel as
your host, and synthy, ‘80s-stylc live music performed by Twins, the
Video Gong Show is sure to cure that casé of the Mondays, if not your
9-to-5 screwing around on the interwebs.
Mon., Aug. 29, 7:30p.m. (6:30 doors, 6 :30-7 video queue); Hollywood The
atre, 4122 N E Sand Blvd.; Í5 ; 503-493-1128 or hollywoodtheatre.org.
