MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 24TH
@ 12 Galaxies-- 9 PM sharp!

For Immediate Release:
San Francisco-- As Ask Dr. Hal! once more treads the boards at 12 Galaxies, 2565 Mission Street
near 22nd, excited patrons are expected to flock to that Boho watering hole in ever-expanding numbers.
For now comes this ultra-rare one-shot, the latest irritating iteration of the award-winning (in the Bay
Guardian) show. And take note: our new and improved show promises to be at Nine PM sharp,
a time fewer people are expected to profess to find more than ordinarily inconvenient. This is no joke-- folks,
we have SO MUCH NEW MATERIAL that we ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO BEGIN AT 9:00! Up to three hours
of concentrated, industrial strength show--

POLITICAL HISTORY IN THE MAKING!

Hear the Platform of Chicken John-- the People's Candidate!
Yes, by now you've probably heard that Chicken John is running for Mayor of San Francisco.
The point isn't to "win" Gavin Newsom's going to do that
to draw attention to a number of issues that will otherwise be ignored; and to have fun doing it.

Stegosaurus vs. Ceratosaurus! Who will win?
A different contest, aeons ago when the earth was younger and hotter. Millions of years ago, giant
dinosaurs roamed the earth. The famous (and now eponymous) Stegosaurus was one of these.
A genus of armored ornithischian thyreophoran from the Late Jurassic Period (Kimmeridgian to Early
Tithonian) of what is now western North America, Stegosaurus, known from its distinctive tail spikes and
dorsal plates, is one of the most recognizable Mesozoic saurians.
A large, heavily-built herbivorous quadruped, Stegosaurus had a distinctive and unusual posture: an
arched back, with minute head and short forelimbs held very low to the ground, a configuration once
described (by non-Stegosaurus) lovers as suggesting "a fat man doing push-ups." The massive, muscular
tail, terminating in (usually) two pairs of flesh-piecing spikes, was held higher when not serving as a tripodal
prop to support the beast when it reared up to forage.
This spectacular array of plates and spikes has been the subject of much speculation.
Stegosaurs were most diverse in the late Jurassic, though the genus Dravidosaurus lived in southern India
as recently as the late Cretaceous, when the group went extinct with the rest of the Dinosauria.
Larger than such other stegosaurids as Kentrosaurus and Huayangosaurus, the roughly bus-sized
Stegosaurus nevertheless shared many of the same anatomical features, including the tail spines and
plates, which were seen in most other stegosaur genera. Now KrOB has prepared another dazzling "edit"
across 210 million years of Evolution, recently shown at Burning Man on the Neverwas Steam Stage.
Once more the moist, froggy bellowing and bleating of the Stegosaurus will sound as it waddles into battle
in the cavernous confines of 12 Galaxies. Its opponent: the fierce, carnivorous Ceratosaurus nasicornis.
See giant beasts battle for survival. Once again, we bring you more rip-roaring stop-motion animation with
"The KrOB Touch." From the voluminous visual files of mighty KrOB. This absolutely educational and
scientific presentation is offered as part of our ongoing show at the Best Night Club Experience for the
Discriminating-- Twelve Galaxies. And, unbelievably, though it may strain credulity, this veritable
Omega of Entertainment will admit & welcome you for an altogether insignificant and trifling admission:

STILL SEVEN PUNY DOLLARS!


New! KrOB's Film Farm Prevue!
Every time there's an Ask Dr. Hal! show, there'll be a KrOB's Film Farm two days later. Remember that
irreducible maxim. In this case, at Chez Poulet, 3359 ARMY (Cesar Chavez) St. @ Mission, KrOB will present
Phil Tucker's immortal Bulldada Classic, the one and only Robot Monster (1953). With added features: EYENOISE
du JOUR (to be announced) / SUPER-SECRET SPY SPECIALS, FREE HOT BUTTERED POPCORN, DRINKS and
those tempting movie theater SNACKS. Mmmmm-- boy!

That's KrOB's Film Farm-- Wednesday, SEPT. 26th 8PM-- FREE!
