Crispin Glover Tours With What Is It? [Vancouver]

Crispin Glover is an interesting character. Not your typical leading man, he has managed to make a career for himself as an actor who takes on oddball and strange rolls and alongside his fairly eclectic hobbies, he’s developed an almost cult-like following.
I’ve never been a huge follower of Glover’s but he’s a bit of an enigma and that holds some appeal for me and apparently for a whole load of other folks. Glover is currently touring “Crispin Hellion Glover’s Big Slide Show” which features a one hour slide show presentation, a screening of one of his films and then a Q&A. The show will make a stop in Vancouver for a three night engagement at the Pacific Cinémathèque on July 18th, 19th and 20th and will feature a screening of his directorial debut What Is It?. For a mere $20, you too can be enlightened by Mr. Glover.
I plan on being there, opening night, to take in the spectacle and maybe, just maybe, have a moment to corner Mr. Glover for a quick chat. Wish me luck. In the meantime, be sure to check out the strange trailer for the film tucked under the seat!

I’m in Phoenix and read that New Times every week. I’ve been to the theater in question and have even had correspondence with the owner previously (I wrote a post about their theater awhile back), so I’m fairly certain the errors weren’t on their end. However, I can’t say that I shocked when I read that story. I knew they’d have their hands full from the moment I saw the news of their booking him.
Nevertheless, have fun Marina!
