Happy Towel Day & Geek Pride Day
Posted on May 25, 2016
Filed Under Geek Holidays | Comments Off on Happy Towel Day & Geek Pride Day
Towel Day is celebrated every year on May 25th as a tribute by fans of the author Douglas Adams. On this day, fans carry a towel with them to demonstrate their appreciation for the books and the author, as referred to in Adams’ The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. The commemoration was first held in 2001, two weeks after Adams’ death on May 11, 2001.
Geek Pride Day is an initiative to promote geek culture, celebrated on May 25th. The date was chosen as to commemorate the release of the first Star Wars film, A New Hope on May 25, 1977 (see Star Wars Day), but shares the same date as two other similar fan “holidays”: Towel Day, for fans of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy trilogy by Douglas Adams, and the Glorious May 25th for fans of Terry Pratchett’s Discworld.

RiffTrax Live – Time Chasers
Location: See Description for Theaters
Date: 2016-05-05
Start Time: 19:00
End Time: 21:00
Description: A LIVE never-before-seen riffing on the sci-fi cult “classic” Time Chasers, from the Tennessee Performing Arts Center James K. Polk Theater in Nashville, TN.
Fathom Events and RiffTrax.com® are excited to bring Time Chasers to the big screen for a LIVE riff on Thursday, May 5 at 8:00 p.m. CT/ 7:00 p.m., followed by a special re-broadcast on Tuesday, May 17 at 7:30 p.m. (local time).
The guys who make movies funny, Mike Nelson, Kevin Murphy and Bill Corbett, revisit one of the most beloved and oft-quoted films of the MST3K era, Time Chasers, the story of a man named Nick who turns his airplane into a time machine with the aid of his beloved Commodore 64. With it he woos the woman of his dreams, despite the fact that he doesn’t own a car and his wardrobe consists only of a pair of jeans and a threadbare t-shirt from Castleton State College. The two run afoul of GenCorp, an evil mega-corporation run out of the mezzanine lobby of a small local library in Rutland, Vermont. Its ruthless CEO, J.K. (you can tell he’s evil because his hair is gelled back) will stop at nothing to steal Nick’s priceless secret.
Join the guys for a raucous evening with a true classic — plus a hilarious new short, a RiffTrax fan-favorite tradition.
