We checked out Bathtubs Over Broadway at the PTFF...

The Port Townsend Film Festival has come and gone but one film will last, at least with me personally. Bathtubs Over Broadway.

In the documentary, Bathtubs Over Broadway, we see Steve Young (joke writer on David Letterman's late night show and co-author of Everything's Coming Up Profits - The Golden Age Of The Industrial Musical) initially use Industrial Musicals as joke material, only to become something more than just a gag.

Simpsons fans will dig this real life Kwik E Mart!

A couple weeks ago, I was scrolling through Facebook and came across an article about a convenience store opening in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. It wasn't just your regular neighborhood grab and go mini mart, though. This was a for real life Kwik E Mart, based on Bart Simpson's go to stop for his brain freeze inducing, frozen beverage of choice, the Squishee!

The Simpsons television show has been a long part of many of our lives, and the characters are pretty much pop culture icons, so this article about the Kwik E Mart opening excited me.

It just so happened that my sister and her boyfriend were visiting Myrtle Beach, so I HAD to put a call out for them to check it out. To my surprise, they were literally on their way to the Kwik E Mart, themselves.

Of course me being me, I requested photos, so I can share with you all.

Check this place out!








 Apparently they're opening a little theatre dedicated to The Simpsons too! I'd never leave!
 They even sent Kwik E Mart gifts for me!
