CONvergence highlight: Killer B's Spectacular Improv Movie Show

Riffing on bad movies extemporaniously is tough work, but the riffers at Killer B's make it look easy. It could be something in the beer they're drinking during the show...

For the uninitiated, Killer B's is basically an MST3K-like performance, only it consists of clips of bad movies with the sound removed. There's a live theramin performance to accompany the movies, and the riffmasters fill in the dialogue and mock the proceedings. A big shout out goes to Melissa, who not only assembled the footage for the riffing, but also live-tweeted the best riffs throughout. If you have patience, you can dig through her feed to find them, but they probably won't make much sense out of context.

Still, mad props to all who were involved. The group I was hanging with were laughing so hard we could hardly catch our breath. It was definitely one of the highlights of CON.
