DESCRIPTION:Doors: 6:00pm \nAges: 21+ \nTickets: $10 Advance / $20 Doors \n** Click Here to Purchase Tickets ** \n  \nStop in for an after-work drink and Mix & Mingle with Blotto fans and the Blotto curious. Enjoy a little mountain music. Then settle in for the movie and a Q& A with various members of the band we miss so much. \nThe Movie\nA documentary film directed by Rob Lichter (Bert Blotto) that chronicles the career of the Upstate NY-based 1980s new wave band\, Blotto\, a band that flew too close to the sun to make it really big.\n\n  \nBlotto rose from the ashes of the Star-Spangled Washboard Band and scored an unlikely hit with I Wanna Be A Lifeguard in the early 80’s — thanks in part to getting airplay on MTV when the network launched August 1\, 1981.\n  \nThe film follows their struggles to land a major label deal despite huge success with touring (ex: The Blot & Blue Tour with Blue Oyster Cult) and releasing their own EPs and Albums.\n\n  \nThe movie features hits like:\n\n“I Wanna Be A Lifeguard” (Day One on MTV)\nMetalhead\nI Quit\nWhen the Second Feature Starts\nGoodbye\, Mr Bond\nShe’s Got a Big Boyfriend\nMy Baby’s the Star of a Driver’s Ed Movie\n\nBonus Features: archival footage\, performances\, and interviews documenting their comedic\, genre-bending style.\n\n  \nSaratoga Connection\nThis is where it all began!\nThe formed\, practiced and played their first shows at 17 MAPLE (later knows as the Metro and now the Night Owl). Some even lived upstairs and worked there!\n\n  \nSchedule\n6:00pm: Mix\, Mingle\, Meet\, Memories\n6:30pm: Live Music by Josh Clark\n7:00pm: The Movie\n8:15pm: Q&A\n\n\n\nCHANGE UP: An announcement from LOST RADIO ROUNDERS:\n\n\n\n“Unfortunately\, due to an unexpected emergency\, Bowtie Blotto will not be able to join the March 19 event at Putnam Place. The Lost Radio Rounders will therefore be unable to perform. We appreciate everyone’s understanding.\n\n\n\nThe film screening will start at 7 as scheduled\, followed by a Q&A with Broadway Blotto\, Lee Harvey Blotto and the director\, Rob Lichter AKA Bert Blotto.”\n\nSub’ing will be Josh Clark\, offering his ‘homegrown folk rock:’ stylings during the 6PM Meet-Mix-Mingle pre-movie hour\n\n\n  \nReturn to Calendar
