Every heard of SuperBall?<\/p>\n
(not the Wham-O bouncy fun object)<\/p>\n
A lucky few hundred or so of you know exactly what I’m talking about.<\/p>\n
Hosted in a variety of locations over about a decade, courtesy of tv pioneers Joel and Jim Hodgson, if you were awesome enough to be invited, you knew you were in for a huge time when SuperBall came calling.<\/p>\n
Crazy food contests (and to the victors went the giant Heavyweight Champion-style belts), a traveling Pachinko parlor, the bitchenest antique telescope around, Sashay Gigante (the male ecdisiastical review to end all ecdesiasm), ping pong ball manipulation (no, not Honeysuckle Divine), just to name a few of the outlandish displays of science and stupidity.<\/p>\n
Now SuperBall is reborn, as TWENTYWONDER, still a crazy-ass meeting of the creative community but now also a fund- and consciousness raiser about Down Syndrome (aka Trisomy 21). Proceeds go to the non-profit Down Syndrome Association of Los Angeles.<\/p>\n
This year’s party is chock-full of celebrity guests and promises to be the biggest and best party ever – well, maybe not EVER, but it will probably kick the ass of every other deal going down this Saturday night (except of course for other LAVA events).<\/p>\n
(Knock Knock)<\/p>\n
Who’s There?<\/p>\n
Sarah Silvermnan, Dana Gould, Cinematic Titanic, Grant Lee Phillips, Two Headed Dog, Dave “Gruber” Allen, Jim Turner, Monkeys@ Robots, H.R. Pufnstuf (No, not just seeing if you’re still reading – really going to be there), Sci-Fi Historian Bob Burns, the GoRam BATMOBILE –<\/p>\n
Have I got you?<\/p>\n
