You asked for it - I mean, you REALLY asked for it - and, so, we whole-heartedly complied. It is my absolute joy to announce that we will be doing a FREE live screening of THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW on Friday, February 14th to celebrate Valentine's Day.

Get gussied up, bring your crap to throw (no rice, ok?) and bring along a date or three - or no date at all - and let's spend the night doing it up at the Frankenstein Place!!!

The movie will start around 9:30, but make a night of it at IBW Lodge #1. Starting around 6:30pm, we're going to have a food option (my guess is fresh pizza or burgers, but I'm still working this part out) and our favorite tarot reader Emerald Acorn will be on site to offer you a window into what carnage is in store for your love life in 2025.

Before the screening we'll have a costume contest and a few other feats of fashion and ingenuity to help you get into the mood a bit more. And then, come around 9:30/9:45/10p at the latest... we'll take that fateful trip to Transylvania by way of Denton by way of the Mansion by way of... well, you know all the by ways we might take.

We'll be throwing this up on our projector screen and giving it the full monty audio-wise. So, the least you can do is show up, bring your fun-loving self and make this a night that flies in the face of the otherwise HORRIBLE vibe that is 2025.

Look folks, we NEED some fun and some good, old-fashioned debauchery. You know, the way they did it back when America was great in the 1970s! If we're gonna take seriously this project of making America great again, then we really need to step up the party game back to how they did it when Sabbath walked the Eath, Bowie was a space god and muscle cars and gremlins were the ride of choice. Amighrightoramiright?

We need to keep our souls vibrant if we're going to survive this freaking turgid turd of a year that is 2025. And what better way to do that than with the greatest movie about a pollyanna couple who finds themselves smack-dab in the middle of a good old-fashioned rock n' roll orgy spearheaded by a lunatic transvestite mad scientist and his incestuous lab assistants from Transexual, Transylvania ever made?

That's right, there is no better way. So get your sweet selves out to IBW Lodge #1 on Valentine's Day and let's do this thing!

Also, you know, you could come out and see us before Valentine's Day as well.

Like, maybe, this Sunday? Where we'll have the TV on and you get ALL YOUR BEER & SOME FOOD for $50.

What a deal?! But, hey, you all put up with a lot of garbage in your day-to-day lives, so why shouldn't we give you a little treat, eh?

We've also got THE SIMPSONS TRIVIA coming up Sunday, February 23rd as well as Tuesday Night Trivia every, uh, Tuesday and Murder Bingo every Wednesday.

And... yes... it is happening again....MARK YOUR CALENDARS FOR SATURDAY MARCH 1st!

It's gonna be a banner year for Mardi Gras!!!

You know what? It's gonna be a banner year for all kinds of fun and madness at IBW Lodge #1. We're freaking SICK of all the bummertude going in the world these days and we're bound and determined to push back with every last belly laugh we can muster. Care to help? Come on in, the water's warm... if not a little dirty.

Hopefully we'll see some of you very soon!!!
