What is this "AV GEEKS" business??:
Formerly a mild-mannered computer technician, Skip Elsheimer now spends his time and money collecting, archiving and presenting old 16mm educational films. What started as a hobby 15 years ago has blossomed into a magnificent obsession, and the collection has grown to over 23,000 films gathered from school auctions, thrift stores, closets and dumpsters. Skip presents themed film shows, tours occasionally, runs a burgeoning stock footage clearinghouse and lives the life he loves. He is one of our heroes.
If you've never seen an AV Geeks show before, that's okay. There's a first time for everything. Expect a program of several amazing, funny and interesting vintage short films in spectacular speckled, scratched 16mm. It's a damn blast and, well, it's kinda educational.

ALCOHOL IS DYNAMITE! - Vintage 16mm films about the great social lubricant - both pro and con.
Films include:
Curious Habits of Man (1972) - A puzzling film where a Canadian party overlaps with a nature documentary.
A Case for Beer (early 1970s) - A guide for convenience store owners on how to cash in on beer profits while looking out for under-aged customers.
Alcohol is Dynamite (1958) - Tragedy-monger Sid Davis demonstrates to teenagers the slippery slope of alcohol and its ability to destroy lives.
...All this liver-lovin' fun and more is just waiting to be had! Get your tickets NOW!
Skip will also be presenting a prom-themed show at The Highball on 8/26. Advance tickets are available HERE.
