Free VHS swap 5:30 p.m., show 7 p.m. $11
Tune in like it’s the night it first aired. We’re playing holiday TV specials straight off tapes recorded from broadcast, with the original commercials, station IDs, and bumpers still in place. Glam Stroker hosts.
We made this night with James Cave of The Jiffy, the newsletter about upstate New York that takes you places. If you don’t read it yet, start now.
The lineup stays a secret until the tape rolls. Two clues:
- Xmas, 1988. A playhouse, a talking chair, a secret word.
- Chanukah, 1995. A puppet town and a mayor’s real head.
The night:
- 5:30 p.m. Free VHS swap in the lobby. Bring tapes, take tapes.
- 7 p.m. The specials, commercials and all.
Tickets online or at the door.
