If you?re at all the Troma freak that I am, this news will have you booking a ticket to Milwaukee post haste! Lloyd Kaufman, founder of Troma and director of The Toxic Avenger, Terror Firmer, and the new film, Poultrygeist (to name a few), is holding a contest in Milwaukee to win a date with him and one of the stars of Poultrygeist, Kate Graham. To win a romantic evening of drunken debauchery with Lloyd and Kate, you?ll have to get together the largest group of ticket buyers for one of the two Poultrygeist screenings. Win the contest and it will be you, Kate, Lloyd, and (if Troma?s production values are any indication) the cheapest beer on tap! From the official Troma Press release:

-----------

The person who organizes the largest single group of ticket buyers to the 7:00pm or 9:00pm screening of Poultrygeist at the Times Cinema in Milwaukee on Friday, August 24th, (as determined by Times Cinema staff), will be taken out with a friend for COCK-tails (or milkshakes for those under the legal drinking age) by Lloyd Kaufman following the 9:00pm screening.

THIS JUST IN: Kate Graham, star of Poultrygeist, also scheduled to attend!

Support Independent Art! Support your alcohol habit!
Ply Lloyd with public compliments, and he will ply you with booze!

Though these are exciting developments, I have a hunch that you don?t need to go to all this trouble to win a date with Lloyd Kaufman. I bet all you have to do is go up to him anytime, anywhere, and ask to him to hang out?he?ll probably say yes.
