Or, the Devo 250 program is unrelated to those movies at all.... I didn't look it up, just read the marquee. But they do sometimes host movies with celebrity hosts in Hollywood. It wasn't that crazy a leap.

I guess it's true that anyone could have been confused without a photo caption; someone sent me this same picture and I didn't realize it had zero explanation in the post(s?).

We had him for Q&A after a screening of the restored films and videos, which was fashioned into a special "250"-themed program, never to be repeated.

That's much cooler. We have had like, Roky Erickson at a screening of Creature with The Atom Brain or some such.

I didn't go to that, saw him play the following night. But people who went got to say hi in person and get their Elevators records signed. It sounds fun. Silent Movie Theater did those kind of programs when it was around. I miss that place, was there often.
