Welcome to the world of Minecraft, where creativity doesn’t just help you craft, it’s essential to one’s survival! Four misfits—Garrett “The Garbage Man” Garrison (Momoa), Henry (Hansen), Natalie (Myers) and Dawn (Brooks)—find themselves struggling with ordinary problems when they are suddenly pulled through a mysterious portal into the Overworld: a bizarre, cubic wonderland that thrives on imagination. To get back home, they’ll have to master this world (and protect it from evil things like Piglins and Zombies, too) while embarking on a magical quest with an unexpected, expert crafter, Steve (Black). Together, their adventure will challenge all five to be bold and to reconnect with the qualities that make each of them uniquely creative…the very skills they need to thrive back in the real world.

More details below: Lux Lives is a celebration of the life of Lux Interior who passed away 16 years ago this February. Lux Lives started in Scotland shortly thereafter. 12 years ago, Lux Lives East Coast was born and the first Lux Lives in America was held in Boston, Massachusetts. There have been shows all over the Northeast to raise money for Best Friends Animal Society in Lux’s name. Fans have gotten together to see bands, listen to music, and basically celebrate everything CRAMPS! Since then there have been Lux Lives events all over the globe! This year we continue to explore one of Lux’s passions; Exploitation/Sexploitation films from cinema’s (sometimes) dark underbelly. Last year we put together a program of some trailers from Lux and Ivy’s Favorite Movies. This year, we will expand upon that and also show a recently re-released feature from 1968; the stunning and mind numbing BLONDE ON A BUM TRIP! Blonde on a Bum Trip is the ULTIMATE sixties garage rock movie featuring an insanely infectious soundtrack and live footage of the Bit-a-Sweet rocking out to a crowd of East Village kids at Scott Muni’s The Rolling Stone discothèque! Behind all the amazing music by the afore mentioned Bit-A-Sweet, there’s more great music by the E-Types and the Vagrants that propel the amazing story of Susan, an innocent small town chemistry major who falls in with the wrong crowd and gets convinced to make some LSD, which changes her life forever! From the trailer: "They’re coming! The Hippies! The Hypos! The Acid Heads! Now at last a frank, revealing, the stark naked horror of the LSD generation is coming to this theater! Ralph Mauro’s BLONDE ON A BUM TRIP! This is the shocking story of sex-starved college queens who look to LSD as a license to love and find a license to lust. Ralph Mauro, a past master of subjective camera throws open the doors of Manhattans pot parties and drug orgies to reveal the jealously guarded truth that L-S-D means Love, Sex and Desire… Taking his camera and crew literally into the very dungeons of drugged lust and psychedelic sadism, Mauro offers one of the most accurate reproductions of an LSD trip ever seen on film! Ralph Mauro’s Blonde on a Bum Trip! It’s a sexadelic Happening!" Don’t miss this wyld and entertaining film from the late 60’s filled with real people wearing their real clothes and mostly speaking how people spoke in those days. Blonde on a Bum Trip is a movie not to be missed! See why it was included in Lux and Ivy’s top ten movie list from the book "Rolling Stone's Alt-Rock-A-Rama" by Scott Schinder! Our event will look like this: We will begin our night with more trailers from Lux and Ivy’s Favorite Movies. We barely scratched the surface last year, and this year there will be MORE craziness from Lux and Ivy’s Favorite Movies! Then the Evil Streaks will hit the stage doing what they do best; paying tribute to one of our heroes. This is NOT a copycat tribute act, but a band paying tribute to one of our influences; The Cramps. Joining the band will be Boston’s longest running burlesque troupe, Thru the Keyhole Burlesque! After that Blonde on a Bum Trip will blow your mind! One of the few films that could follow a live rock and roll band, because it features amazing 60’s Rock and Roll! Newly restored in 4K from the original camera negative, Blonde on a Bum Trip has never looked this amazing! See it on the BIG SCREEN! Joining us for the event will be Something Weird Video’s head honcho Lisa Petrucci! We are thrilled that Lisa is again making the pilgrimage to Salem to join us for another Lux Lives! She will introduce the film and talk a little bit about the flick’s history. After the movie there may be ANOTHER short film to thrill and tantalize! What will it be? Hold on to your Wighats! Just like in past events we will have unique and mind blowing Lux Lives Merchandise for sale at the event. Keep an eyeball out for updates here, on my Facebook page as well as the LLEC page! As always, every Lux Lives East Coast event is 100 percent for charity! And that charity is Best Friends Animal Society. Thanks for your continued support!
