Movies with Live Soundtracks" consist of a group of filmmakers who make short films and videos with no sound and perform all the audio tracks live. We teamed up the ladies at Plain Parade booking to host the kids from "MWLS" on the Philly stop of their tour. We decided to hold the screening at the Fire, a north Philly bar that allowed all ages shows and had a stage for musical performances. Some locals made videos and sound performances for the show. It seemed like everything was great idea until Ted arrived at the club early and found out that they had accidentally double booked the show at the same time as a fireman's retirement party. We had to start things a bit late to make up for this but some of the firemen stayed after the others went to the bar. It was an interesting crowd dynamic but not as interesting as the door man who proved he could withstand a stun gun while some of the firemen egged him on.
